Three restaurants on this island hold three Michelin stars, and every one of them is a tasting menu — a remarkable density for a city-state you can drive across in an hour. Singapore built its fine-dining reputation on the multi-course format, importing French and Nordic technique and bending it toward Asian produce: Julien Royer's modern French at Odette, the Frantzén group's Nordic-Asian journey at Zén, Kirk Westaway "reinventing British" seventy floors above Marina Bay. What you book here is precision and polish, in air-conditioned rooms that take the format as seriously as Paris or Tokyo. Seven rooms, ranked on the cooking, the room and what the menu price actually buys, with the course to remember at each.
1.Odette
Singapore's defining tasting menu; book a month out for Julien Royer's three-star French and its rosemary-smoked egg.
Julien Royer named Odette after his grandmother, and his three-Michelin-starred room inside the National Gallery at 1 St Andrew's Road is the most complete fine-dining experience in the city — a soft, blush-toned dining room and a modern French menu built on obsessive sourcing. The rosemary-smoked organic egg, the heirloom beetroot, and the Kagoshima pigeon are the signatures, and the cooking balances technique and warmth in a way few three-star rooms manage. Dinner lands around S$350 to S$400. It is the Singapore tasting menu to choose when you want the safest bet at the top of the market, and the one that books fastest. Reserve online about a month ahead and clear two and a half hours.
Book online a month out; the rosemary-smoked egg, the beetroot, then the pigeon.
2.Les Amis
The grande dame of Singapore haute cuisine; book for Sébastien Lepinoy's classic French and one of Asia's great cellars.
Les Amis opened in 1994 and is the elder statesman of Singapore fine dining — a three-Michelin-starred temple of classic French cooking at 1 Scotts Road in the Shaw Centre, with chef Sébastien Lepinoy at the pass. Where Odette is modern and Zén is theatrical, Les Amis is unapologetically traditional: the cold angel-hair pasta with Oscietra caviar, Brittany blue lobster, and a butter-rich French repertoire executed with precision. Its wine cellar is among the deepest in Asia, with verticals that justify a sommelier-led pairing. This is the room for a classicist, or a celebration that wants gravity rather than playfulness. Reserve online a few weeks ahead and consider the lunch menu for value.
Book a few weeks out; the cold angel-hair pasta with caviar, and a cellar pairing.
3.Zén
The Frantzén journey across three floors; book for the most theatrical three-star night in Singapore, snacks to cheese.
Zén is the Singapore sibling of Björn Frantzén's Stockholm flagship, set in a restored three-storey shophouse at 41 Bukit Pasoh Road and run as a single, choreographed journey that moves you through the building — a lounge for snacks, the kitchen counter for the main courses, an upstairs room for petits fours and cheese. The cooking fuses Nordic technique with Asian and French ingredients, and the famous "French toast" with vintage cheese and truffle is the course people talk about for years. At close to S$500 it is the most expensive seat in the city, and the most theatrical. Choose it for a milestone where the evening, not just the food, is the event. Book online well ahead; seatings are small.
Reserve online weeks out; trust the journey, and save room for the truffle French toast.
4.Jaan by Kirk Westaway
The best skyline in fine dining here; book a window for Kirk Westaway's "reinventing British" menu seventy floors up.
Kirk Westaway runs Jaan on the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford at 2 Stamford Road, and it pairs the best view of any fine-dining room in Singapore — a wraparound panorama over Marina Bay — with a two-Michelin-starred menu he calls "Reinventing British." The cooking reworks the food of his Devon childhood through Singapore's larder: a heritage-tomato course, Devonshire crab, a celebrated cheese and "egg" sequence, all lighter and more personal than the French rooms. At around S$350 for dinner it sits just below the three-star tier on price and well within it on ambition. Book a window table for sunset; it is the city's best view-plus-cooking combination. Reserve online a couple of weeks out.
Book a sunset window; the heritage tomato, then the British cheese course.
5.Saint Pierre
Emmanuel Stroobant's bay-side two-star; book for refined French-Asian cooking with Marina Bay across the water.
Belgian chef Emmanuel Stroobant has run Saint Pierre for more than two decades, and its current home at 1 Fullerton Road in One Fullerton puts a two-Michelin-starred French-Asian menu right on the water, looking across Marina Bay at the skyline. The cooking weaves Stroobant's classical French training through Southeast Asian ingredients and his own longstanding interest in plant-forward cooking — foie gras and Patagonian toothfish sit alongside lighter vegetable-led courses. The room is elegant and the view does real work at night. Around S$300, it is a polished, slightly more relaxed two-star than the towers above it. Reserve online a couple of weeks ahead and ask for a bay-facing table.
Book a bay-facing table; the signature foie gras, then the toothfish.
6.Meta
Sun Kim's Korean-rooted two-star; book for the most personal fine-dining cooking in Singapore at a fairer price.
Sun Kim opened Meta as a young chef and built it into a two-Michelin-starred room, now at 9 Mohamed Sultan Road, where Korean roots run through a modern European framework. The menu folds gochujang, doenjang and Korean technique into refined tasting courses — the cooking is more personal and less formula-bound than the grand French rooms, and the room is intimate and contemporary rather than gilded. At a gentler price than the three-star tier, around S$250 to S$300, it delivers genuine two-star ambition with a distinct point of view. This is the tasting menu for a diner who has done the French circuit and wants something with a clearer voice. Reserve online a week or two ahead.
Book a week or two out; lean into the Korean-accented courses and the pairing.
7.Cloudstreet
Rishi Naleendra's elegant two-star on Amoy Street; book for personal, ingredient-led cooking in the city's most relaxed top room.
Rishi Naleendra, the Sri Lankan-born chef who also runs the beloved Cheek Bistro, holds two Michelin stars at Cloudstreet, a calm, light-filled room at 84 Amoy Street in the CBD shophouse belt. The cooking is contemporary and ingredient-led rather than tied to one tradition, drawing quietly on Naleendra's heritage and travels, with a tasting menu that changes often and a notably warm, unstuffy service style. Around S$250 to S$300, it is the most relaxed of the city's two-star rooms — serious cooking without the hush. Choose it when you want top-tier food in a room you can actually talk in. Reserve online a couple of weeks ahead, and ask about the wine pairing.
Book a couple of weeks out; trust the changing menu and add the wine pairing.
How Singapore does the tasting menu
Singapore's fine-dining scene is unusually concentrated and unusually international. A small, wealthy city with no farmland of its own, it built its reputation by importing world-class chefs and produce and running the tasting menu at a level that rivals any Asian capital — three three-star rooms and a deep two-star bench, almost all of them multi-course. The cooking skews French and Nordic in technique but increasingly Asian in ingredient, and the rooms are polished, air-conditioned and precise.
Practically, the format here is forgiving relative to the West: most rooms take direct online bookings, lunch is widely available and runs a third cheaper than dinner, and the dress code is smart rather than jacket-required in the tropical heat. The move for a tasting-menu trip is one three-star and one two-star, ideally a formal French night and a more personal one — Odette or Zén, then Meta or Cloudstreet. For the rest of the city, from hawker stalls to its Cantonese palaces, the Singapore dining guide maps every neighbourhood by occasion.
Where not to look for it
Skip these for a serious tasting menu
The hotel-buffet "degustation" promotions. Singapore's big hotels run multi-course "tasting" deals that share little with a purpose-built tasting room beyond the word. Book one of the dedicated restaurants on this list instead, and use lunch if budget is the concern.
Zén or Odette for a quick or flexible dinner. These are single-seating, multi-hour, often-prepaid menus that cannot bend for a late arrival or a half-portion — Zén's journey moves you through three floors over an evening. If you want excellent food without the commitment, point yourself at the à la carte rooms in the city guide.
Frequently asked
What is the best tasting menu in Singapore?
Odette at the National Gallery is the consensus pick — Julien Royer's three-Michelin-starred modern French menu, named after his grandmother, with the rosemary-smoked organic egg as its signature. Its three-star peers are Les Amis, the classic French institution on Scotts Road, and Zén, the Singapore arm of Björn Frantzén's group in a Bukit Pasoh shophouse. Below them sit a deep two-star tier: Jaan, Saint Pierre, Meta and Cloudstreet.
How many three-Michelin-star restaurants are in Singapore?
Three, as of the 2025 Singapore guide released in July 2025: Odette, Les Amis and Zén, which all retained their third star. All three are tasting-menu restaurants. Singapore also carries a strong two-star tier — Jaan by Kirk Westaway, Saint Pierre, Meta, Cloudstreet, Shoukouwa, Thevar and the newly promoted Sushi Sakuta — making it one of the densest fine-dining cities in Asia for multi-course menus.
How much does a tasting menu cost in Singapore?
Plan on roughly S$250 to S$500 per person before wine. The three-star rooms sit at the top — Zén's single journey runs near S$500, and Odette and Les Amis dinners land around S$350 to S$400. The two-star rooms are gentler: Jaan, Saint Pierre, Meta and Cloudstreet typically run S$250 to S$360. Lunch is the value entry almost everywhere, often a third less than dinner. Wine pairings add S$150 or more, and most rooms prepay or hold a card at booking.
How far ahead should I book a tasting menu in Singapore?
Two to six weeks for the top rooms. Odette, Les Amis and Zén release tables online a month or two out, and prime weekend seatings go quickly; Zén in particular seats few guests across its three floors. The two-star rooms — Jaan, Saint Pierre, Meta, Cloudstreet — are more attainable a couple of weeks ahead, and lunch is easier than dinner everywhere. Book directly through each restaurant's site or its reservation platform and take the first weeknight offered.
Which Singapore tasting menu has the best view?
Jaan by Kirk Westaway, on the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford, has the best skyline of any fine-dining room in the city — a wraparound view over the Marina Bay district from one of the highest restaurants in Singapore. Saint Pierre at One Fullerton looks across Marina Bay at water level toward the skyline. For the cooking-as-theatre rather than the view, Zén's multi-storey shophouse and Odette's gallery room are the rooms to choose.
