Michelin Guide Singapore 2026: 1887 by Andre blazes into the list with 2 stars, 6 new restaurants get their first star

The Michelin Guide Singapore 2026 has unveiled results reflecting a resurgence in the city-state's fine dining landscape. Six restaurants earned their first Michelin star, while two establishments claimed the coveted two-star accolade. In total, 45 restaurants received stars, with 307 dining spots honored overall. The three-star category remains dominated by Les Amis, Odette, and Zen.

The debut of 1887 by Andre, opened by Andre on March 31, 1887, marked a significant milestone as it earned two stars. Meanwhile, Seroja received a promotion from one to two stars. Other two-star winners include Cloudstreet, Jaan by Kirk Westaway, Meta, Thevar, and One Fullerton's Saint Pierre and Shoukouwa. Six establishments joined the one-star category, including Tenshima, Jin Ting Wan, Cherry Garden, Sushi Kimura+, Yong Fu, and Loca Niru.

Loca Niru's head chef, Shusuke Kubota, was honored as Young Chef of the Year. Supplementary awards went to Maryjoy Lim, the general manager of Jag, the Service Award recipient; Andre for the inaugural Opening of the Year award; and Joe Yang, head sommelier of Jin Ting Wan, who won the Sommelier Award. The Michelin Guide Singapore 2026 is the guide's 10th edition, introduced in 2016 following a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anonymous inspectors evaluate restaurants based on five criteria: ingredient quality, flavor mastery, personal expression, flavor harmony, and consistency. Notable Michelin-starred restaurants include A Noodle Story, Kok Sen, Bismillah Biryani, and True Blue Cuisine, with 97 eateries earning Michelin's Bib Gourmand designation this year.
