2026 marks a decade since the Michelin Guide made its debut in Singapore, and this year's ceremony at Raffles Sentosa delivered one of the most exciting line-ups in recent memory. Ahead of the gala, the Bib Gourmand 2026 list was unveiled last week with 10 fresh additions, including perennial hawker favourites Seng Kee Black Chicken Herbal Soup and Yi Pin Braised Duck Kway Chap.

After a relatively subdued 2025 edition that saw just two new one-star winners, this year's selection brings a host of surprises and shake-ups across every category.

The three-star club remains unchanged, with Les Amis, Odette and Zen all holding firm at the top. This marks the seventh consecutive three-star year for both Les Amis and Odette, the latter having just completed an extensive space and menu overhaul. Restaurant Zen, helmed by acclaimed Swedish chef Bjorn Frantzen, is expected to reopen in late August following renovations.

Modern Southeast Asian restaurant Seroja, led by Chef Kevin Wong, makes a stunning leap from one to two stars just three years after its 2023 debut. Its multi-course Nusantara Menu weaves together Malaysian herbs, spices and familiar flavours with drinks that complement every course.

Perhaps the most talked-about entry is 1887 by Andre, which debuts directly at two stars. This marks celebrated Taiwanese chef Andre Chiang's permanent return to Singapore, housed within the century-old formal dining room of the Raffles Hotel. Described as contemporary heritage gastronomy rooted in French philosophy, the restaurant draws from a rich tapestry of influences including Victorian and Belle Epoque aesthetics, the hotel's archives, and Chef Andre's personal culinary journey. It also takes home this year's Opening of the Year Award.

The one-star category sees the biggest shake-up with six new names joining the ranks: Yong Fu, Loca Niru, Tenshima, Jin Ting Wan, Cherry Garden by Chef Fei, and Sushi Kimura Plus. Yong Fu, a Ningbo cuisine specialist, opened at Suntec City in 2024 as the Shanghai-based restaurant's first international outpost. Tenshima offers an intimate 10-seat tempura omakase at Millenia Walk by Chef Takahiro Shima.

Jin Ting Wan impresses with both its sky-high Marina Bay Sands setting and the refined Cantonese cooking of Executive Chef Albert Li, originally from Guangxi. Sommelier Joe Yang earned the Sommelier Award for building one of Singapore's deepest collections of Chinese wines, now exceeding 130 labels.

Loca Niru, a Japanese-French fine-dining concept, secured its star less than 12 months after opening. Set inside the beautifully restored House of Tan Yeok Nee, a historic Teochew mansion on Penang Road, the restaurant is helmed by Nagano-born Executive Chef Shusuke Kubota, who also won the Young Chef Award for the second consecutive year awarded to a Japanese chef.

Rounding out the one-star newcomers are Cherry Garden by Chef Fei at Mandarin Oriental, prized for some of Singapore's finest dim sum, and Sushi Kimura Plus, an eight-seat counter where sushi is presented on a glass counter with a mirrored underside for full visual appreciation. All three - Loca Niru, Cherry Garden by Chef Fei, and Sushi Kimura Plus - regularly feature on Time Out Singapore's 50 Best Restaurants list.

Last year's sole new one-star addition, Omakase @ Stevens, retained its star in 2026, while four shuttered establishments - Chaleur, Euphoria, Esora and Alma - have been removed from this year's guide.

In the Special Awards, Fiz and Seroja kept their Michelin Green Stars for championing sustainability, from smoking ingredients with discarded sugarcane fibre to sourcing seafood from local producers. The Service Award went to Maryjoy Lim of Restaurant Jag for outstanding hospitality.

For 2026, the Michelin Guide Singapore features a total of 307 establishments: three three-star restaurants, nine two-star venues, 33 one-star restaurants, 97 Bib Gourmand picks, two Green Star holders, and 165 Michelin Selected dining spots.
