Fine Dining · Singapore · 7 rooms ranked · Updated June 2026
Compiled by the Restaurants for Kings editorial team · Published June 20, 2026 · Updated June 20, 2026
Three three-Michelin-starred restaurants sit within a fifteen-minute taxi ride of each other on a single small island, which is a concentration almost nothing outside Tokyo, Paris and Kyoto can match. Singapore's fine-dining scene is dense, internationally staffed and unusually good value at the second tier, where a two-star room will serve a star-level lunch for a fraction of its dinner bill. The top of the list is French in the classical sense at Odette and Les Amis, Nordic-Asian theatre at Zen, then a deep two-star bench running from Kirk Westaway's reinvented British cooking to Rishi Naleendra's pared-back tasting at Cloudstreet. This guide ranks seven rooms on the cooking, the room and the value, with the menu to book and how far ahead.
1.Odette
Julien Royer's three-star French room and Singapore's signature occasion table; book a month out for a milestone dinner.
Odette, inside the National Gallery on St Andrew's Road, is Julien Royer's three-Michelin-starred flagship, named for his grandmother and a long-running fixture on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list. The cooking is modern French built on impeccable produce and precise technique, anchored by the signature Royer dishes such as the rosemary-smoked organic egg and the heirloom beetroot, served in a soft pink-and-grey room that is among the most beautiful in the city. The dinner degustation sits at the top of the three-star price band, around SGD 400 to SGD 500 before wine, with a far cheaper set lunch. It is the choice for a milestone dinner where the room, the service and the plate all need to land. Book three to four weeks ahead, more for a weekend.
Reserve direct or via the booking page; the dinner degustation, the smoked organic egg, the wine pairing.
2.Les Amis
The grande dame of Singapore French under Sebastien Lepinoy; book it for old-school luxury and one of Asia's great cellars.
Les Amis, on Scotts Road in the Shaw Centre near Orchard, is the founding name of Singapore fine dining, open since 1994 and holding three Michelin stars under chef Sebastien Lepinoy. This is classical haute cuisine done with conviction: luxurious French cooking, signatures like the chilled angel-hair pasta with truffle and the famous chestnut soup, and one of the deepest wine cellars in Asia poured by a serious sommelier team. The dinner degustation runs in the three-star band, around SGD 450 and up before wine. It is the choice for a diner who wants formal, grown-up French luxury rather than a contemporary tasting, and the cellar to go with it. Book a few weeks ahead and let the sommelier lead.
Reserve direct; the grand degustation, the chilled angel-hair with truffle, a cellar pairing.
3.Zen
The Singapore outpost of Stockholm's Frantzen under Tristin Farmer; book the whole evening for a theatrical Nordic tasting.
Zen, in a restored three-storey shophouse on Bukit Pasoh Road, is the Singapore outpost of Bjorn Frantzen's Stockholm flagship, run by head chef Tristin Farmer, and it holds three Michelin stars for a tasting that is as much choreography as dinner. The evening moves through the house, beginning with snacks in an upstairs lounge before the main courses downstairs, and the cooking fuses Nordic technique with Asian ingredients, including the Frantzen signature French toast with truffle. It is the priciest on this list, around SGD 450 to SGD 500 before the pairing. This is the choice for a diner who wants an immersive, multi-room production rather than a single dining room. Book several weeks ahead and clear the whole evening.
Reserve direct; the full tasting, the French toast with truffle, the prestige pairing.
4.Jaan by Kirk Westaway
Kirk Westaway's reinvented British tasting seventy floors up; book it for the best-value two-star view dinner in town.
Jaan, on Level 70 of Swissotel The Stamford, is Kirk Westaway's two-Michelin-starred room and the rare fine-dining tasting in Singapore with a genuine skyline view. Westaway's "Reinventing British" menu reworks the food of his Devon childhood with Asian-sourced produce, including the playful signature "Anyone for Egg?" and a celebrated English-garden course. At around SGD 298 to SGD 360 for dinner, with a much cheaper set lunch, it is one of the best-value two-star meals on the island. It is the choice for a diner who wants serious cooking, a view and a price that undercuts the three-star rooms. Book one to three weeks ahead and ask for a window table at dusk.
Reserve direct; the dinner tasting, "Anyone for Egg?", a window seat before sunset.
5.Saint Pierre
Emmanuel Stroobant's bayfront two-star French-Asian room; book it for refined cooking with a Marina Bay view.
Saint Pierre, at One Fullerton on the waterfront, is Belgian chef Emmanuel Stroobant's two-Michelin-starred restaurant, where he has cooked in Singapore for more than two decades. The kitchen runs a refined modern French tasting threaded with Asian technique and ingredients, including the long-running miso-marinated Patagonian toothfish, served in a sleek room looking across Marina Bay to the skyline. Dinner sits around SGD 348 before wine, with a lighter lunch. It is the choice for a diner who wants polished French-Asian cooking and one of the best bay views attached to a starred room. Book one to two weeks ahead and take a table by the glass.
Reserve direct; the signature tasting, the miso toothfish, a bayfront table.
6.Meta
Sun Kim's two-star Keong Saik tasting; book it for modern cooking that runs Korean roots through European technique.
Meta, on Keong Saik Road in the shophouse belt, is Korean chef Sun Kim's two-Michelin-starred room, promoted to its second star in 2024. The cooking is contemporary and personal, European in technique but threaded with Korean and broader Asian flavours, built into a tight tasting menu in an intimate, design-led space on one of the city's best eating streets. Dinner runs around SGD 298 before wine. It is the choice for a diner who wants a chef-driven modern tasting with a clear point of view rather than a grand hotel dining room, and a lively neighbourhood to walk afterwards. Book one to two weeks ahead and take the pairing.
Reserve direct; the full tasting menu, the seasonal seafood courses, the wine pairing.
7.Cloudstreet
Rishi Naleendra's pared-back two-star tasting on Amoy Street; book it for ingredient-led cooking with no excess.
Cloudstreet, on Amoy Street in the CBD shophouse district, is Sri Lankan-born chef Rishi Naleendra's two-Michelin-starred restaurant, a restrained, ingredient-led counterpoint to the grander rooms above it. The cooking is contemporary and precise, a no-frills tasting that lets technique and produce carry the meal, served in a calm, light-filled room over two floors. Dinner sits around SGD 298 before wine. It is the choice for a diner who wants a modern, understated two-star tasting without theatre or a hotel setting, in the heart of the shophouse dining belt. Book one to two weeks ahead and trust the kitchen's menu.
Reserve direct; the tasting menu, the seasonal produce courses, the wine pairing.
How Singapore does fine dining
Singapore's fine-dining identity is cosmopolitan by design: the top of the scene is led by French and European chefs cooking to a global standard, with the city's location funnelling in produce from Japan, Australia and Europe within a day. The three three-star rooms split cleanly, classical French at Les Amis, modern French at Odette and Nordic-Asian theatre at Zen, while the seven two-star rooms run wider, from Westaway's reinvented British to Naleendra's pared-back tasting and Sun Kim's Korean-European cooking. What sets the island apart is value at the second tier: a two-star set lunch here can cost a third of the dinner price. For the global context, see the best fine dining worldwide and the city's best Japanese restaurants.
Practically, the three-star rooms are the hard bookings: Odette, Les Amis and Zen release tables on a rolling window and fill weekends several weeks out, so book early and consider a weekday. Dinner runs long, two and a half to three hours, and most rooms keep a smart dress code, with jackets welcome at the three-star tier. A credit-card hold is standard, and many rooms offer both a long degustation and a cheaper set lunch worth taking. Geography is forgiving, with most of the list clustered between the Civic District, Orchard, Marina Bay and the Tanjong Pagar shophouse belt. For everything beyond the tasting rooms, from hawker stalls to wine bars, the Singapore dining guide maps the city by neighbourhood and occasion.
Where not to look for it
Skip these for a serious fine-dining dinner
The Marina Bay Sands celebrity-chef strip on autopilot. The big-name signature outlets along the bay can coast on the view and the brand. For cooking that earns the bill rather than trading on a logo, book a starred room from this list instead.
Zen or Les Amis for a quick, casual dinner. These are multi-hour, formal commitments that want your full evening and a jacket. If you want a relaxed, walk-in-friendly meal, eat in the shophouses or at a hawker centre and save the three-star rooms for a night you can give them.
Frequently asked
What is the best fine dining restaurant in Singapore?
Odette, Julien Royer's three-Michelin-starred French room inside the National Gallery, is the best, a perennial fixture on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list and the most complete fine-dining experience in the city. Singapore's two other three-star rooms run it close: Les Amis, the grande dame of classical French, and Zen, the Singapore outpost of Stockholm's Frantzen. Choose Odette for the signature occasion, Les Amis for old-school luxury and Zen for a theatrical Nordic-Asian tasting.
How much does fine dining cost in Singapore?
At the three-star rooms, plan on roughly SGD 400 to SGD 500 per person for the dinner degustation before wine, with pairings adding SGD 200 or more. Odette, Les Amis and Zen all sit in that band. The two-star rooms are gentler: Jaan by Kirk Westaway, Saint Pierre, Meta and Cloudstreet run nearer SGD 298 to SGD 360 for dinner, and most offer a much cheaper set lunch. Book the lunch sittings when you want a star-level meal without the full evening bill.
How far in advance should you book fine dining in Singapore?
For the three-star rooms, a month or more. Odette, Les Amis and Zen release tables on a rolling window and fill weekends several weeks out, so book as early as you can and consider a weekday. The two-star rooms, Jaan, Saint Pierre, Meta and Cloudstreet, usually want one to three weeks for a prime evening, less for lunch. All take online reservations directly or through their booking platforms, and a credit-card hold is standard.
How many three-Michelin-star restaurants does Singapore have?
Three, as of the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2025: Les Amis, Odette and Zen, all of which retained their third star. Les Amis and Odette were the first Singapore restaurants to reach three stars, in 2019, and Zen followed in 2021. Below them the guide lists seven two-star restaurants and thirty-two one-star, so Singapore packs an unusual amount of top-tier dining into a small island.
Is fine dining in Singapore worth it?
If you care about high-end cooking, Singapore is one of the best-value world cities to spend a special evening, because its two-star price points and generous set lunches give you star-level food without always paying three-star prices. The island concentrates three three-star rooms, seven two-star and dozens more within a short taxi ride. For a milestone the three-star rooms deliver; for a first taste of the scene, the two-star lunches are the smart entry point.
