Back in Singapore for its seventh year, the Michelin Guide has unveiled its curated list of the best places to have a meal. In 2023, a total of 55 restaurants have been conferred that elusive star – or, as the French call it, 'macaroon' – by the epicurean manual. This year, five new restaurants made the list and they will be signalled by an asterisk (*) in the list below.

The guide uses five criteria to assess these restaurants: mastery of technique; quality of ingredients; chef's personality; value for money; and consistency. The list leans towards fine-dining restaurants that offer degustation menus that often cost upwards of $100, however, it also names some hawkers and casual dining spots like Putien if you don't want to break the bank.

Alternatively, head over to this list of restaurants that earned a Bib Gourmand award, Michelin-recommended meals that cost less than $45.

Chef de Cuisine Seth Lai – formerly of Iggy’s and Esora – runs the show at 28Wilkie. Interpreting Japanese seasonal produce with a modern European fine-dining lens, the highly sensorial menus take you through a deeply personal journey studded with refined takes on familiar flavours.

Alma by Juan Amador

  • Orchard

Swabian chef Juan Amador – whose now-defunct restaurant Amador in Mannheim once held three Michelin stars – brings his Asian-inflected Spanish-European cuisine to Goodwood Park Hotel. Chef Haikal Johari, who has cooked at Joël Robuchon and Les Amis, oversees the local kitchen where diners can lavish over the nine-course ($298) degustation menu of Amador's signature dishes.

Get in touch with culinary maestro Daniele Sperindio’s Ligurian roots where he presents episodic menus that have equally intricate and evocative creations. Expect to eat with your eyes first as much thought has been put into the visual elements. Opt for one of its lunch tasting menus: three courses for $158, four for $188 and five for $208 – while the seven-course degustation dinner is priced at $328. Every dish is an ode to Italy, where the emphasis on unique high-quality seasonal produce remains.

Chef Zor Tan presents a storied matrimony of French gastronomy paired with a deep knowledge of Chinese flavours. The nine-course ($368) dinner marries East and West through techniques and cuisines and is tied to nine guiding principles: birth, roots, memories, craft, relationship, vicissitudes, time, progress, and legacy.

Béni fuses French and Japanese cuisines at this fine dining restaurant, which seats only 15 around an open kitchen. With an all-Japanese culinary team led by head chef Kenji Yamanaka, it serves a six-course lunch for $118 and a nine-course dinner for $268.

  • Raffles Place

Designing the course around each season's exceptional produce, Chef De Cuisine Matteo Ponti dreams up a progressive menu that pays tribute to his classic Italian roots peppered with personal stories from the young chef. The exclusive casual-luxe restaurant features an open kitchen and rooftop bar, all situated within a newly restored shophouse. Expect a string of elegant yet understated flavours that honours each ingredient and its provenance. A four-course lunch starts from just $118 while the signature degustation dinner will set you back $258.

There’s something incredibly honest about a solid slab of meat coaxed over open flames into a lovely charred outer while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. At Burnt Ends, this a thought that executive chef David Pynt brings to life effectively with the help of two well-insulated cement-walled ovens (be sure to look above it every once in a while – fire tends to escape in a tempered rage from a spout) and a series of impressive grills raised and lowered by an industrial-looking winch and pulley system designed by Pynt. The menu is split into snacks, appetisers and meat offerings – all designed with minimal frills.

  • Newton

Buona Terra’s vibe is as cosy and intimate as it gets, housed in the quiet colonial-era bungalows of Chateau TCC along Scotts Road (also housing Japanese Restaurant Ki-sho) in between the busy thoroughfares of Newton and Orchard. Helmed by chef Denis Lucchi, a Lombardy native and Garibaldi Group alum, everything is top-notch, from the whisper-level, formal service to the plates of beautifully constructed food.

  • Tanglin
  • price 3 of 4

In keeping with the cuisine's penchant for borrowing influences from the East and West, Candlenut's dishes are gussied up with premium ingredients. 'Ah-ma-kase' goes for $108 for lunch and $138 for dinner, and features dishes like laksa-scented hamachi heaped in a translucent pie tee shell and thick fingers of potently spicy lamb satay. It is after all the world's first Peranakan restaurant to garner the coveted star.

Chef Kang's
  • Restaurants
  • Chinese
  • Rochor

Helmed by chef Ang Song Kang, Chef Kang's is an intimate five-table joint that serves traditional Cantonese fare. Signatures include deep-fried pork belly marinated in shrimp paste, a twist on the local favourite har chong gai as well as steamed empurau, a fresh-water fish known for its clean flavour and exorbitant price. Chef Kang's is constantly booked and certain dishes are only available with advanced notice so early reservations are highly recommended.

Cure
  • Restaurants
  • Chinatown
  • price 3 of 4

Chef-owner Andrew Walsh's Cure derives its name from curare, Latin for ‘to take care of’, which it does very well on the dining front. Set menus in different permutations dominate lunch and dinner. Lunch from Thursdays to Saturdays starts from $148 while dinner from Tuesdays to Saturdays is set at $288. An exclusive seasonal dinner menu debuts every Tuesday to Thursday for just $248.

 

  • Restaurants
  • Marina Bay

You go to CUT for one reason: the steaks. Grilled over hardwood and charcoal, the hunks of beef come from a menagerie of sources. You've got USDA Prime from Illinois, Angus and wagyu from Australia, Red Poll from Suffolk, wagyu from Idaho, and even more wagyu from different prefectures in Japan. Each type is further broken down into different cuts, ranging from rib eyes to New York strips to bone-in filet mignons ($75-$280).

Head chef Takeshi Araki boasts four years at the three Michelin–starred Tokyo restaurant, Nihonryori RyuGin, while his sous chef Noburu Shimohigashi comes most recently from Singapore’s very own two-Michelin-starred Odette. Welding modern cooking techniques with an obsession with fresh produce to create the perfect dining experience, you know you're in good company. The Esora experience is without a doubt modern and elegant yet deceptive in its simplicity. There are only two menu formats: nine-course lunch ($328) and 10-course dinner ($368).

  • Restaurants
  • Tanjong Pagar

Vegetables usually play a secondary role on the plate; they might feature as garnishes, be cooked up as side dishes, or be used as a base to accentuate other meats and seafood. But over at Restaurant Euphoria, the oft-forgotten ingredient takes centre stage instead. It is an approach that comes carried over from owner-chef Jason Tan’s previous stint at one-Michelin-starred Corner House. There, he honed in on Gastro-Botanica – a term he coined to refer to his reverence for botanical ingredients: vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, and even flowers. Lunch starts from $168 and dinner is priced at $298.

Chef Kazuhiro Hamamoto has been perfecting his craft for over 20 years, drawing inspiration from his experiences in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Singapore. His 12-seat sushi-kappo restaurant, Hamamoto, showcases the art of sushi and kaiseki, with a focus on seasonal produce sourced from select vendors in Tokyo and Fukuoka. Chef Kazu believes that food replenishes the soul, and his dishes reflect this philosophy to ultimately transport guests to Japan. The ultimate Hamamoto experience is priced at $550.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

  • Kallang

A one-Michelin-starred meal for five bucks? That's what you're in for when you make the trek to this humble kopitiam in the heartlands of Lavender. The bak chor mee ($5-$10) here is arguably the best in Singapore: springy noodles, crispy fried fish, pork liver, minced and sliced pork and dumpings swim in a vinegary sauce that you'll be licking clean. Allocate enough time to queue up, though – it may look deceptively short, but with each order taking anywhere between five to 12 minutes to prepare, getting to the front is a bit of a wait.

Iggy's
  • Restaurants
  • Orchard

Expect premium Japanese ingredients sourced by Tokyo-based runners and touches of Singaporean flavours – all pulled together with modern European techniques. Each meal ($150/lunch, $285/dinner) begins with a series of seasonal snacks. Not to be forgotten are also the wines at Iggy's, which houses one of the largest collections of Burgundies in Singapore.

Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine

Imperial Treasure opened its first outlet in 2004 at Ngee Ann City. Since then, the brand has grown to 30 restaurants across Singapore and Shanghai, with plans to expand to South Korea, Paris and London in the next two years. Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine in ION Orchard is a more refined version of the original, with a spacious main dining hall and six lavish private rooms. Signature dishes include soon hock fish (seasonal prices) served with Chinese rice wine, and a combination platter of sliced duck meat, duck tongue, cuttlefish and beef tripe marinated Teochew style ($34-$68).

Taking inspiration from the beauty and nature of Savoie in France, chef Jeremy Gillon uses native herbs flown in from the area to craft every dish on the menu. Come with an open mind as you delve into surprising new flavours. Think a green apple sorrel sorbet with smoked eel and foie gras and a dessert comprising of pumpkin in all its forms – you can sample some of these dishes through ten courses ($298). For the full experience, opt for wine pairings with every dish and if you want to continue the drinking sesh, head up to Flow bar for some cocktails peppered with herbs from Savoie as well.

What is Singapore cuisine? That's a question chef-owner Han Li Guang – who quit his high-flying desk job in the banking industry to become a chef – has struggled to answer since he first launched Restaurant Labyrinth. Over the past year, he's been discovering more of what Singapore has to offer through its farm and local producers. The result is a new menu comprised mostly of locally-sourced ingredients, like the Labyrinth rojak which comprises 12 different herbs from Edible Garden City tossed in with natural stingless bee honey and served with a cempedak and jackfruit sorbet.

Acclaimed chef Anne-Sophie Pic makes her Asia debut at Raffles Hotel Singapore. Called La Dame de Pic, the restaurant can be found at the former location of the Raffles Grill at the main building of Raffles Singapore. Enjoy a hearty meal and try out her many exquisite signature creations, such as the Berlingots - iconic pasta parcels found in all of Anne-Sophie Pic's restaurants around the world. In line with her usual adaptation to reflect the character of each establishment's locale, the Raffles Singapore incarnation incorporates a local touch - with a new flavour association using herb of grace, also known as Chou Cao. This enhances the Berlingots' French cheese fondue filling. Prices for dinner start at $248 for a six-course meal while a four-course lunch begins at $188.

With so many of its branches earning Michelin stars in Hong Kong, it comes as no surprise that Singapore's sole Lei Garden has earned a nod from Michelin inspectors here, too. Compared to its counterparts, this restaurant in CHIJMES has a more European look and feel to match its surroundings. The menu, however, is largely the same as the other outlets: traditional Cantonese fare like dim sum and roast meats done right.

With over 600 labels and 3000 bottles of wine on offer in its leather-bound tome of a menu, Ma Cuisine has cemented itself as a gastro wine bar for the serious connoisseurs. That's not to say that only the stuffy Bordeaux sipping elite are welcomed here – the restaurant's young owners Anthony Charmetant and Mathieu Escoffier want to share their passion for wine with beginners and experts alike, all within a casual setting that also serves homey French food.

Sitting pretty in the lush Flower Dome is Marguerite. You can say that the restaurant is very much inspired by its surroundings. Chef-owner Michael Wilson presents a seven-course tasting menu ($288) that deceptively looks simple but as you experience the meal, discover the layers of textures, flavours and even temperatures. Provenance and produce are also strong themes which reflect in the menu strongly. There is so much detail – and even a narrative behind everything placed in front of you. Best part? You get to be the main character and arrive in style with the limousine buggy service from Gardens by the Bay’s arrival plaza straight to Marguerite.

The strapping head chef, with K-Pop good looks on show from the open kitchen, is Sun Kim, who trained at Tetsuya Sydney and Waku Ghin.

Lunch is available from $248 (served only on Friday and Saturday) while dinner changes according to the season and is priced at $298 for nine courses.

Naeum is an ode to remembrance where the episodic menu offers a glimpse into the personal journey and psyche of chef Louis Han. Korean flavours might take centre stage, but the food is not beholden to tradition; global influences are worked into the debut dishes cooked up using some of Louis’ favourite ingredients. There are two menus: classic ($198) and signature ($258).

Time Out's best new restaurant of 2017 clinched a Michelin star after its first year of operation. Chef-owner Ivan Brehm has us hooked on what he dubs as ‘crossroads cooking’ – food that takes inspiration from around the world, draws parallels between cultures, and creates an understanding that all of us are fundamentally the same. The idea is to connect people over a meal, as evidenced by the handsome marble counter that runs through half the restaurant. The flavour combinations are inventive yet oddly familiar, and the technique is flawless. Dinner goes for $328 while a two-course lunch starts at an approachable $68.

Formerly at the helm as the master chef at the eponymous Shinji by Kanesaka, Chef Koichiro Oshino's philosophy reflects the beauty of a transient moment, as he presents classic Edomae sushi, a traditional Japanese cuisine capturing nature's essence and ever-changing seasons. The role of the chef is to preserve the purity and flavour of the food while bringing out its elegance and tradition. The restaurant's exclusive interior focuses on Edomae sushi served on a hinoki counter, prepared with utmost care and reverence. The omakase lunch starts at $220 while dinner shoots upwards of $500.

The first Putien opened on Kitchener Road in 2000 as a humble coffee shop specialising in Heng Hwa cuisine. Today, the brand has expanded and now has 10 outlets in Singapore, but the food retains its hearty, home-cooked feel on the palate and plate. As its name suggests, this casual Chinese restaurant has its roots traced to Putian, a coastal town in the Fujian province of the Middle Kingdom. It still imports ingredients like its clams and sun-dried bee hoon from the town, creating a sustainable farming community for locals there.

It’s very hard to find fault with a restaurant like Rhubarb, so earnest about the fine cuisine and not greedy about its prices. The French restaurant serves up dinner menus that start from just $138 while lunch is presented omakase style and starts at only $68. And with just seven tables in its space, it's hard not to feel special.

The Summer Palace, one of the grandes dames of Singapore Cantonese restaurants, shows no sign of slowing down. The service remains smoothly choreographed, everyone speaks Cantonese and its fried rice – perfumed by wok hei and each grain falling separately – is still the one to beat. Begin the meal with a fragrant pumpkin soup, and pair the fried rice with cubes of seared Wagyu beef or braised vegetables. If you’re throwing political correctness out of the window, the shark’s fin soup is appropriately unctuous and sweet.

If we had to pick, these are our favourites: the double-boiled sea whelk soup with fish maw and chicken, served in a whole coconut; poached rice with lobster; and diced Japanese wagyu beef.

Headed by sushi chef Yuji Yabe and kaiseki ryori chef Hiroki Sodou, this pint-sized one-Michelin-star import from Ginza, Tokyo, is not switching its focus from wild tuna and sea urchin, imported four times a week from Tsukiji. The restaurant seats only 24, and serves up seasonal kaiseki menus (lunch from $130, dinner from $270) – they're not big meals, which means uncompromising quality for every diner.
