Singapore's culinary scene continues to impress, and this year's Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2026 extended list is proof of that. The 51-100 ranking is usually made public two weeks before the top 50 restaurants are announced, as a teaser of sorts before the official results. This year, the awards ceremony will be held on March 25 in Hong Kong, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
Four restaurants have done our city proud this year, and they are none other than:
- Thevar (#58)
- Burnt Ends (#59)
- Meta (#77)
- Peach Blossoms (#78)
Give it up for Chef Mano Thevar, whose deft interpretation of South Indian cuisine and re-opening of his eponymous restaurant has earned him a spot at #58, 12 places above Thevar's #70 ranking last year. Thevar might be slowly inching its way to the top 50, but safe to say, it's already first place in many hearts, with repeat diners singing about the restaurant's spot-on seasoning, complex spice blends and stellar plating. We also celebrate Peach Blossoms, which makes a reappearance on the 51-100 list at #78. The modern Cantonese restaurant at Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay is headed by Executive Chef Edward Chong.
Meanwhile, Burnt Ends and Meta manage to retain their places within the overall Asia's 50 Best Restaurants selection, but have slipped from the top 50 to the 51-100 list. Australian barbecue powerhouse Burnt Ends at Dempsey Hill, which was #38 last year, now finds itself at #59, while modern Korean fine dining restaurant Meta by Chef Sun Kim, which was #39 last year, is now #77 on the extended list.
Some of the restaurants from last year's 51-100 list are notably missing, namely Born (#54 in 2025) Cloudstreet (#74 in 2025), Jaan by Kirk Westaway (#77 in 2025), Zén (#79 in 2025) and Summer Pavilion (#95 in 2025). Not to worry, though, as this might simply mean they're in the running for a spot within the top 50 – all that's left to do is wait for the official reveal on March 25 to find out.
Watch this space for updates on which restaurants will place among the region’s 50 best, and if fine dining heavyweight Odette (#7 last year) will retain its spot among the top 10 restaurants in Asia.
