Ten years after the prestigious red guide first landed on Singapore’s shores, the Michelin Guide Singapore 2026 marked its anniversary with a ceremony at Raffles Sentosa this evening, unveiling a lineup that returns to form after a quieter 2025. This year’s selection—featuring three three-star restaurants, nine two-star venues, 33 one-star eateries, and 97 Bib Gourmand spots—showcases both enduring excellence and fresh talent across the city-state’s dining landscape.
A Decade of Recognition
The Michelin Guide’s decade in Singapore has tracked the island’s evolution into a global culinary capital. Last year’s ceremony added only two winners—Omakase @ Stevens and Sushi Sakuta—but 2026 brings more dynamism. Three-star institutions Les Amis, Odette, and Zén remain at the pinnacle, with Les Amis and Odette earning their seventh consecutive triple-star rating. Odette completed a space and menu refresh early this year, while Restaurant Zén, helmed by Swedish chef Björn Frantzén, is slated to reopen in late August after renovations.
Rising Stars in the Two-Star Category
The biggest leap belongs to Seroja, chef Kevin Wong’s modern Southeast Asian restaurant, which jumped from one star in 2023 to two stars this year. Its multi-course Nusantara Menu weaves Malaysian herbs, spices, and familiar flavours into a refined yet heartfelt experience.
Also debuting at two stars is 1887 by André, marking acclaimed Taiwanese chef André Chiang’s return to a permanent stage inside Raffles Hotel’s century-old formal dining room. Described as “contemporary heritage gastronomy with French philosophies,” the restaurant draws on Victorian and Belle Époque eras, the hotel’s archives, and Chiang’s personal journey. It also won this year’s Opening Of The Year Award.
One-Star Shake-Up: Six New Entries
The one-star category saw the most activity, with six new additions. Yong Fu, a Ningbo cuisine specialist at Suntec City, opened in 2024 as the first international outpost of a Shanghai-based restaurant. Tenshima, a 10-seater tempura omakase counter at Millenia Walk by chef Takahiro Shima, offers an intimate, focused experience.
Jin Ting Wan at Marina Bay Sands impressed inspectors with refined Cantonese dishes by executive chef Albert Li and sky-high views. Its sommelier, Joe Yang, earned the Sommelier Award for curating one of the city’s most extensive Chinese wine lists—over 130 labels.
Loca Niru, a Japanese-French fine-diner nestled inside the restored House of Tan Yeok Nee, earned a star less than a year after opening. Executive chef Shusuke Kubota, from Nagano, also took home the Young Chef Award—the second consecutive year a Japanese chef has won that honor.
Other one-star newcomers include Cherry Garden by Chef Fei, a Cantonese-Teochew restaurant at Mandarin Oriental known for standout dim sum, and Sushi Kimura Plus, an eight-seater where chef Tomoo Kimura presents each piece on a mirrored glass counter for full inspection. All three also appear on Time Out Singapore’s 50 Best Restaurants list.
Special Awards and Sustainability
The Service Award went to Maryjoy Lim of Restaurant Jag. The Michelin Green Star was retained by both Fiz and Seroja for their sustainability efforts—from smoking ingredients with discarded sugarcane fibre from hawker centres to making stocks from leftover trimmings and sourcing local seafood.
What’s Missing and What’s Next
Four restaurants that closed over the past year—Chaleur, Euphoria, Esora, and Alma—are absent from the 2026 guide. In total, 307 establishments are featured, including two Green Stars and 165 Michelin Selected venues.
As Singapore’s dining scene matures, the Michelin Guide continues to reflect both staying power and fresh ambition. With new concepts like 1887 by André and Loca Niru pushing boundaries, and beloved institutions holding firm, the next decade promises even more culinary milestones.
