Lede: The Michelin Guide marked a decade in Singapore on Tuesday evening with its 2026 ceremony at Raffles Sentosa, awarding two stars to two new entries and adding six one-star restaurants to a roster that now spans 307 eateries—a dramatic rebound from last year’s subdued edition.
For a guide that first landed on the island in 2016, the 10th anniversary felt like a homecoming. After a 2025 ceremony that added only two winners—Omakase @ Stevens and Sushi Sakuta—this year’s lineup delivered several promotions and debuts, underscoring the city-state’s enduring status as a fine-dining destination.
The Unshakeable Trio
Les Amis, Odette and Zén each retained their three-star status for another year. Les Amis and Odette have now held the top honor seven consecutive years; Odette completed a space and menu refresh early this year. Restaurant Zén, meanwhile, is slated to reopen in late August after renovations.
Two-Star Surprises
The most significant upgrade went to Seroja, chef Kevin Wong’s modern Southeast Asian restaurant, which jumped from one star to two—an impressive ascent since its 2023 debut. Seroja’s Nusantara Menu weaves Malaysian herbs and spices into a multi-course journey.
1887 by André, chef André Chiang’s new venture inside Raffles Hotel Singapore, also debuted with two stars. Housed in the building’s century-old formal dining room, it marries “contemporary heritage gastronomy with French philosophies,” drawing from Victorian and Belle Époque influences, the hotel’s archives, and Chiang’s personal culinary history. The restaurant also won this year’s Opening Of The Year Award.
One-Star Shake-Up
Six new restaurants earned single stars in 2026, the highest turnover in the category.
- Yong Fu (Ningbo cuisine, Suntec City) opened in 2024 as the first international branch of a Shanghai-based restaurant.
- Loca Niru, a Japanese-French fine-diner at the historic House of Tan Yeok Nee, earned its star less than a year after opening. Executive chef Shusuke Kubota also took home the Young Chef Award—the second consecutive year a Japanese chef has won.
- Tenshima offers a 10-seat tempura omakase at Millenia Walk.
- Jin Ting Wan at Marina Bay Sands impressed inspectors with refined Cantonese fare by executive chef Albert Li; its sommelier Joe Yang won the Sommelier Award for curating one of Singapore’s largest collections of Chinese wines (over 130 labels).
- Cherry Garden by Chef Fei (Mandarin Oriental) serves Cantonese-Teochew dim sum that earned a star.
- Sushi Kimura Plus, an eight-seater with mirrored glass countertops, showcases sushi from chef Tomoo Kimura.
Omakase @ Stevens, the sole one-star addition last year, held its star. Four restaurants—Chaleur, Euphoria, Esora and Alma—were removed after closing.
Beyond the Stars
Fiz and Seroja retained their Michelin Green Stars for sustainability practices, such as using discarded sugarcane fiber from hawker centers and making stocks from leftover trimmings. The Service Award went to Maryjoy Lim of Restaurant Jag.
The Bigger Picture
With 307 total entries—three three-stars, nine two-stars, 33 one-stars, 97 Bib Gourmand picks, two Green Stars and 165 Michelin Selected venues—the 2026 guide reflects both stability and ambition. As Singapore’s dining scene matures, the return of chef André Chiang and the rapid rise of newcomers like Loca Niru suggest the next decade will be just as dynamic as the first.
For food lovers, the takeaway is clear: whether you seek a 10-seat tempura counter or a heritage mansion dining room, Singapore’s Michelin map has never been more varied.
