Michelin One Star 2026

Chef Ivan Brehm's "crossroads cooking" concept layers recurring motifs like vanilla and turmeric across a tasting-menu-only progression, building from lighter flavors to a richer climax. The chef's counter offers the clearest view of technique; book Wednesday or Thursday lunch for a quieter experience and more interaction with the kitchen. Opinionated About Dining ranks it #78 in Asia (2026), and it holds one Michelin star plus a three-star wine accreditation; expect high-end pricing and a conceptually ambitious meal.

Marguerite holds a Michelin star (2024) and operates inside Gardens by the Bay's Flower Dome; a setting no other fine-dining room in Singapore can match. The European contemporary tasting menu runs Thursday through Sunday only, with bold, technically grounded cooking and a wine list that includes rare labels from Lebanon and Morocco. Book three to four weeks ahead minimum; weekend dinners fill fast.

Jin Ting Wan is a strong choice for a polished special-occasion meal at Marina Bay Sands, especially when service atmosphere matters as much as the food. It is less suited to casual solo dining or low-commitment group plans; compare it with Spago Singapore or Wakuda if cuisine style and price tier are the deciding factors.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle holds a 2024 Michelin star for its bak chor mee, cooked to order at hawker prices in the Kallang district. Expect a queue at any time of day. For the quality delivered at the $ price point, the wait is worth building into your Singapore itinerary.

Buona Terra holds a Michelin star (2024) and serves contemporary Italian set menus from a refurbished colonial house on Scotts Road. At the $$$ tier, it is Singapore's most credible Italian Contemporary fine-dining option, with a serious Italian-led wine list and an intimate room that suits couples, small groups, business meals. Book well ahead; dinner fills fast and walk-ins are not realistic.

Willow earned its Michelin one-star in 2024 and delivers on it: an intimate counter-dining experience on Hongkong Street where Chef Nicolas Tam's pan-Asian tasting menu; Japanese ingredients, French technique; is introduced course by course by the chefs themselves. At the $$$ price tier, it is one of Singapore's harder-to-book rooms for good reason.

Sushi Kimura + is worth booking for a quiet Orchard omakase meal built around Edomae-style sushi, aged-vinegar shari, a chef-led counter format. It suits date nights, solo sushi diners, business meals better than groups or family dinners. Go if the set-menu structure is the point; skip it if you want ordering flexibility.

For 2026 Singapore dining plans, Yong Fu is a sensible Suntec City pick when convenience, a late dinner window, Michelin Plate recognition matter more than a high-drama tasting format. Choose it for a composed Chinese meal near Marina Centre; cross-shop Golden Peony for a similar Chinese occasion or Sushi Masaaki for a pricier sushi counter experience.

Shisen Hanten holds a Michelin star and consistent Opinionated About Dining recognition for a specific reason: its Chūka Sichuan cooking, shaped by the head chef's 12 years at the Tokyo branch, is technically precise in a way that few Singapore restaurants match at the $$ price point. Book ahead; demand is sustained; and go for the mapo tofu and Hokkaido Mangalica pork.

Waku Ghin is a Japanese restaurant at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

The world's only Michelin-starred Chilean restaurant (2024 star), Araya delivers a tasting menu that fuses South American ingredients with Japanese technique inside Singapore's Mondrian Duxton.

Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine holds a Michelin one star (2024) and is one of Singapore's best-value entries into fine Chinese dining at the $$ tier. The kitchen limits its chilled steamed swimmer crab to 15 portions daily; pre-order when you book. Hard to reserve, especially on weekends; plan two to three weeks ahead minimum.

Loca Niru is a cautious yes for diners seeking an innovative restaurant in Singapore, especially if the goal is exploration rather than a predictable occasion meal. The cuisine category is the main signal; with limited published practical detail, it suits flexible diners better than groups needing certainty on format, service style, or spend.

Iggy's is a Michelin-starred Modern European room on the third floor of voco Orchard Singapore that has held its position among the city's best fine-dining tables since 2004. With a nine-course Gastronomic menu, a Burgundy-heavy wine list, strong tasting-menu options at both lunch and dinner, it is a serious choice for a special occasion; but book at least a week out, as tables fill fast.

A 2024 Michelin-starred Peranakan tasting menu inside the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Pangium is the clearest answer in the city for Straits Chinese cuisine taken seriously. The limited weekly schedule makes booking hard; plan at least three to four weeks ahead. At $$$, the price-to-recognition ratio is strong relative to Singapore's fine dining field.

Japanese cypress counters, granite, washi motifs, a 10-person service cap make Tenshima a focused choice for tempura omakase in Singapore. Book it if you want a quiet, technique-led meal built around seasonal Japanese ingredients; skip it if you want sushi breadth, a lively group setting, or a prestige-driven tasting menu.

Cherry Garden occupies the fifth floor of the Mandarin Oriental Singapore on Raffles Avenue, putting it firmly in the hotel-dining bracket for Downtown Core Chinese cuisine. The address signals formal group dining and hotel-level pricing, making it a stronger fit for celebrations or business meals than casual drop-ins. Verify current pricing and hours directly before booking, as Pearl's data for this venue is limited.

Ma Cuisine is a Michelin-starred (2024) Burgundian bistro on Craig Road that delivers serious French cooking and a genuinely impressive wine program at $$$, without the formality or price tag of Singapore's tasting-menu circuit.

Hamamoto holds a Michelin 1 Star and a near-perfect for serious omakase in Tanjong Pagar. One sitting per service, closed Monday and Sunday, makes it one of Singapore's hardest reservations. At $$$$, it competes directly with Shoukouwa and Sushi Sakuta. Book weeks ahead and go without an agenda; the chef sets the menu.

Nae:um holds a Michelin star and a rank of 45 on Asia's 50 Best, making it the most credentialed Korean contemporary tasting menu in Singapore.

Candlenut is Singapore's most credentialed Peranakan restaurant; Michelin one-star, OAD #69 in Asia (2025), and a Black Pearl Diamond; at a $$ price point that makes it one of the city's clearest value cases for serious dining. Chef Malcolm Lee's tasting menu changes every two months and leans into Indonesian influences that set it apart from more conventional Straits-Chinese Peranakan cooking. Book in advance; this is not a walk-in restaurant.

A Michelin-starred Edomae omakase counter on Orchard Road, Sushi Ichi sources its seafood, rice, sauces directly from Japan and holds an Opinionated About Dining ranking alongside Tokyo's top sushi counters. At $$$$ pricing, it is Singapore's most technically disciplined sushi option. Book three to four weeks out minimum; this is not a walk-in venue.

CUT is the right Singapore booking for a polished Marina Bay Sands steakhouse dinner where premium beef, a deep wine list, group-friendly à la carte ordering matter. Go for Hokkaido Snow Beef, Kagoshima Wagyu, a serious bottle; skip it if you want a low-cost meal or a chef-led tasting-menu experience.

A 16-seat counter at Stevens Road with two consecutive Michelin Plate nods, Omakase @ Stevens delivers a 6- or 8-course menu built on Japanese seasonal produce and French technique.

Born is Zor Tan's contemporary restaurant in Singapore's former Jinrikisha Station.

Jag holds a Michelin 1 Star (2024) and delivers vegetable-forward French Contemporary cooking in a calm, white-walled space at Robertson Quay. French produce at peak ripeness drives the menu, with a standout cheese trolley and a low-noise room that works well for conversation. Lunch Wednesday to Saturday is the sharper value entry point; dinner is the right call for a full special-occasion arc.

Summer Pavilion is a restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.

Lei Garden at CHIJMES is a Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant with a colonial interior that sets it apart from the group's other Singapore branches.

Book two to three weeks ahead minimum.

Summer Palace at 1 Cuscaden Road delivers serious Cantonese cooking in a composed, hotel-level setting suited to business meals and special occasions.
