Singapore has 45 Michelin-starred restaurants as of the 2026 guide (announced 4 August 2026, the 10th anniversary edition): 3 with three stars, 9 with two stars, and 33 with one star, out of a wider selection of 307 establishments once you add Bib Gourmand and Michelin Selected listings. That total is up from 42 in 2025, itself down from 51 in 2024, so the count has genuinely swung both ways in recent years rather than climbing steadily.

Quick answer: Singapore’s three 3-star restaurants are Les Amis, Odette and Zén, no Singapore restaurant has ever reached higher. The 2026 guide added 8 newly awarded or promoted restaurants and lost 4 to permanent closure (Alma, Chaleur, Esora, Euphoria). Realistic budgets: from around S$98-159 for a 1-star lunch set, S$1,200-1,600 for two at a 2-star dinner with wine, and S$300-500++ per person for a 3-star tasting menu.
How many Michelin-starred restaurants does Singapore have, and did the count go up or down?
45, as of the 2026 guide, up from 42 in 2025. The breakdown is 3 three-star, 9 two-star and 33 one-star restaurants. It’s worth knowing the count isn’t a steady climb: 2024 actually had more starred restaurants (51) than either 2025 or 2026, so a rising or falling number in a given year reflects real openings and closures, not a simple growth trend. Four one-star restaurants dropped out of the 2026 guide specifically because they closed permanently: Alma, Chaleur, Esora and Euphoria.
Which restaurants have 3 Michelin stars in Singapore?
Three restaurants, and this list hasn’t changed in several consecutive guides: Les Amis, Odette and Zén. No restaurant in Singapore has ever been awarded more than 3 stars.
| Les Amis | French; Singapore’s longest continuously 3-starred restaurant, held stars every year since the first 2016 guide |
| Odette | Modern French; Chef Julien Royer; regularly ranked on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list |
| Zén | European/New Nordic; Frantzén Group, Chef Björn Frantzén; multi-room shophouse dining experience |
Which restaurants have 2 Michelin stars?
Nine restaurants hold 2 stars in the 2026 guide, up from 7 in 2025. The new additions are 1887 by André, which debuted directly at 2 stars and also won Michelin’s “Opening of the Year,” and Seroja, promoted up from 1 star.
| Restaurant | Cuisine | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1887 by André | French | New, debuted at 2 stars; “Opening of the Year” |
| Seroja | Modern Malay/Archipelago | Promoted from 1 star; also holds a Michelin Green Star |
| Cloudstreet | Modern European | Chef Rishi Naleendra |
| Jaan by Kirk Westaway | Modern British | Atop Swissotel The Stamford, skyline views |
| Meta | Korean-French | Chef Sun Kim |
| Saint Pierre | French | Chef Emmanuel Stroobant |
| Shoukouwa | Japanese (sushi) | Edomae sushi omakase, One Fullerton |
| Sushi Sakuta | Japanese (sushi) | Chef Yasuo Sakuta |
| Thevar | Modern Indian | One of very few 2-star Indian restaurants worldwide |
If you’re specifically after Japanese fine dining, note that Shoukouwa carries 2 Michelin stars, that’s a meaningfully different tier from restaurants like Takahashi or Nishikane, both excellent but not currently Michelin-starred. Worth knowing if the star itself is the deciding factor for you.

What’s new in the 2026 Michelin Guide Singapore?
Six new restaurants earned their first star this year, alongside the two promotions already covered above. The new one-star entrants are Cherry Garden by Chef Fei (Cantonese/Teochew dim sum), Jin Ting Wan (Cantonese), Loca Niru (Japanese-French, whose chef Shusuke Kubota also won Michelin’s Young Chef Award), Sushi Kimura+ (an 8-seat Japanese sushi counter flying in fish from Japan four times a week), and Tenshima (Japanese tempura omakase). Yong Fu, a Ningbo/Shanghainese restaurant, was promoted to one star. This is also the guide’s 10th anniversary edition, and Michelin specifically recognised 12 restaurants that have held a star in every single Singapore guide since 2016, Les Amis among them.
How much does it actually cost to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore?
It depends heavily on the star tier, and the gap between a 1-star lunch and a 3-star dinner is much bigger than most guides let on. These are third-party estimates gathered from multiple sources, not official Michelin pricing, and don’t include the typical +10% service charge and +9% GST added on top of “++” prices.
| Starred hawker stall (e.g. Hill Street Tai Hwa) | ~S$2-10 a bowl |
| 1-star lunch set | ~S$98-159 |
| 1-star dinner tasting menu | ~S$191-275 |
| 2-star dinner for two, with modest wine pairing | ~S$1,200-1,600 all-in |
| 3-star dinner tasting menu, per person | ~S$300-500++ |
The single cheapest legitimate way into a starred meal is Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, the only hawker stall in Singapore to hold a Michelin star. If you want the fine-dining experience on a budget, a 1-star lunch set is consistently the best value entry point, Michelin itself has run features on starred lunches under S$120++.
How do you actually book a Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore?
Book further ahead than you’d think, especially for the 3-star tier, popular tables at Les Amis, Odette and Zén can fill weeks out, and some restaurants only open reservations on a rolling monthly window. Most now take bookings through Chope, Tock, or the restaurant’s own site rather than by phone only. A few practical points: dress codes at the 2- and 3-star tier tend toward smart/formal rather than smart casual, cancellation windows are often 48-72 hours before your slot (with a card guarantee), and lunch service is both cheaper and easier to book than dinner at nearly every tier.
What do you need to know before choosing a Michelin-starred restaurant here?
- No Singapore restaurant has 3+ stars beyond the current trio (Les Amis, Odette, Zén), that ceiling hasn’t moved across multiple guides
- The starred count moves both directions, 2024 (51) had more than both 2025 (42) and 2026 (45), don’t assume a straight upward trend
- Closures happen even at star level, 4 one-star restaurants closed permanently before the 2026 guide (Alma, Chaleur, Esora, Euphoria)
- Lunch is the value play across every tier, especially at 1-star
- A hawker stall can hold a star, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle is the proof it isn’t only about white tablecloths
