10 Singapore Michelin Restaurants: Cuisine and Booking Choices

Few cities pack as much culinary excellence into as small a footprint as Singapore. The Michelin Guide's 2025 selection covers 288 establishments; at the top sit rooms that compete with anywhere on earth. This shortlist draws from that 2025 edition and groups ten options by their published distinction, each with what you need to know before you try to book.

1. Odette (Three MICHELIN Stars)

Named after chef Julien Royer's grandmother, Odette is Singapore's most decorated dining room and one of its hardest reservations. Inside a serene, art-filled space in the National Gallery Singapore, Royer's produce-led French cooking, built on honouring exceptional ingredients from small producers, has held three stars year after year. Check the current reservation calendar; consider lunch if your preferred dinner date is unavailable.

2. Les Amis (Three MICHELIN Stars)

The grande dame of Singapore fine dining, Les Amis opened in 1994 and became the benchmark for classical French technique in Asia. Under chef Sébastien Lepinoy the kitchen is uncompromisingly traditional in the best sense: pristine langoustine, sauces mounted tableside, and one of the deepest wine cellars in the region, with a list that runs into the thousands of labels. Michelin inspectors praise the pure French line; regulars return for the cellar as much as the kitchen. This is where you go when you want haute cuisine done absolutely straight, at the highest level.

3. Zén (Three MICHELIN Stars)

The Singapore sibling of Björn Frantzén's Stockholm three-star, Zén turns dinner into a three-act performance across three floors of a Bukit Pasoh shophouse: aperitifs and snacks in the lounge, the main procession at the counter-facing kitchen, then dessert and mignardises upstairs. The cooking splices Nordic precision with Japanese ingredients and French richness. Allow time for the multi-floor meal and check accessibility with the restaurant before booking.

4. Sushi Sakuta (Two MICHELIN Stars)

The 2025 Guide's biggest promotion. Chef Yoshio Sakuta's intimate counter serves an Edomae omakase built on fish flown from Toyosu and rice seasoned with obsessive care. It was promoted to two stars in the 2025 selection. Confirm current counter availability with the restaurant. If you care about sushi, it is worth the effort; book the moment the calendar opens.

5. Jaan by Kirk Westaway (Two MICHELIN Stars)

Jaan combines a high-level city setting with a British-led tasting menu. Compare it with the waterfront restaurants if the view is part of the occasion, then check menu length and reservation time against your evening plans.

6. Cloudstreet (Two MICHELIN Stars)

Sri Lankan-born chef Rishi Naleendra cooks the most personal food on this list: a tasting menu that folds his heritage, travels and produce obsessions into dishes that belong to no single tradition. The Amoy Street room is relaxed for this level, the service warm rather than starched, and the 2025 selection lists two stars. Diners who want a point of view rather than a genre pick Cloudstreet first.

7. Saint Pierre (Two MICHELIN Stars)

A Singapore institution since 2000, Saint Pierre earned its two stars under Belgian chef Emmanuel Stroobant with refined French cooking threaded with Japanese and Asian accents, served in an intimate room looking across the water to Marina Bay Sands. It is one of the city's most romantic starred tables, and the waterfront location makes it a natural bookend to an evening walk around the bay or a night at the best rooftops in the city.

8. Thevar (Two MICHELIN Stars)

Chef Mano Thevar's modern Indian tasting menus won a second star by doing something genuinely new: south Indian flavours, Chettinad spice and tandoor smoke rebuilt with contemporary technique into some of the most exciting plates in the city. The Keong Saik shophouse room is sleek and buzzy rather than hushed. Among Singapore's two-stars it is the one your most food-obsessed friend will thank you loudest for.

9. Burnt Ends (One MICHELIN Star)

Burnt Ends proves a Michelin star can smell of woodsmoke. Dave Pynt's open kitchen is built around a four-tonne, dual-cavity oven and custom grills, turning out smoked quail eggs, beef marmite jaffles and dry-aged steaks with theatre you can watch from the counter. It is the loudest, most fun starred meal in Singapore, and counter seats are among the most fought-over in the city.

10. Candlenut (One MICHELIN Star)

Candlenut made history as the world's first Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant, and it remains the most meaningful star in Singapore: chef Malcolm Lee elevating the Straits-Chinese cooking of his grandmother, buah keluak, blue swimmer crab curry, kueh, without losing its soul. It is also a different style of meal from a European tasting menu, which makes it the ideal first step into starred dining in the city and a strong pick when you want heritage with a star, not a European tasting menu.

Booking strategy for Grand Prix week

Check each restaurant's release calendar rather than assuming a common booking window. Record the cancellation deadline, deposit and dietary-request process when you reserve. Leave enough time between the meal and your circuit gate; a tasting menu is difficult to compress if road closures slow the journey.

For drinks afterwards, the rooftop guide compares settings. Confirm both bookings before building a tight two-venue evening.
