Newly Awarded One-Star Establishments

Six restaurants made their debut in the one-star category, bringing the total number of one-Michelin-starred venues in Singapore to 33. Among the new entrants are Loca Niru, situated at the historic House of Tan Yeok Nee, and Jin Ting Wan, located at Marina Bay Sands.

Additional newcomers joining the one-star ranking include YongFu at Suntec City, Tenshima at Millenia Walk, and Cherry Garden by Chef Fei at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore. Furthermore, Japanese chef Tomoo Kimura reclaimed a Michelin star with Sushi Kimura +, an intimate eight-seater establishment at Conrad Singapore Orchard. Meanwhile, four restaurants dropped off the one-star list following their closures: Alma, Chaleur, Esora, and Euphoria.

Promoted to Two Michelin Stars

Two restaurants achieved two-star recognition this year, bringing Singapore's total count of two-starred establishments to nine, alongside three three-starred venues. Seroja, located at Duo Galleria, was promoted from its previous one-star status. Joining it in the two-star category is 1887 by Andre at Raffles Hotel Singapore, making its direct entry into this division.

Special Awards and Sustainability Recognition

The ceremony also honoured individual talent and specific industry contributions through several special awards:

* Young Chef Award: Presented to Shusuke Kubota, executive chef of Loca Niru, for his culinary precision and finesse.

* Sommelier Award: Awarded to Joe Yang, head sommelier at Jin Ting Wan, recognising his curated selection of Chinese wines paired with Chinese cuisine.

* Service Award: Received by Maryjoy Lim, general manager of one-starred Jag in Robertson Quay.

* Opening of the Year: Awarded to 1887 by Andre.

* Michelin Green Star: Retained by Seroja and Fiz (located on Tanjong Pagar Road) for their ongoing commitment to sustainable gastronomy.

In addition to starred venues, the broader Michelin Guide Singapore 2026 selection highlights 97 Bib Gourmand establishments and 165 Michelin Selected venues, including new additions such as Magpie on Eng Hoon Street and Belimbing on Beach Road.

Practical Tips

* Reservations: High-profile additions and promoted establishments like Seroja, 1887 by Andre, and Loca Niru often experience high demand immediately following the announcement; advance booking through official channels is strongly advised.

* Seating Capacity: Certain venues, such as Sushi Kimura +, offer extremely limited seating (8 seats), requiring plans to be made well in advance.

* Wine Pairings: Diners visiting Jin Ting Wan may explore Chinese wine pairing options curated specifically for Chinese regional cuisine.
