Best Restaurants for Anniversary in Singapore 2026

Anniversary · Singapore · 8 tables ranked · Updated May 2026

By Marcus Holloway, Senior Editor, Asia-Pacific · Published · Updated

Sébastien Lépinoy has held the same dining room at Shaw Centre on Scotts Road since 2013 and the maître d's keep a guest book that tracks anniversary dates and seat preferences across repeat visits. The Singapore anniversary dining map is shorter than the first-date map and longer than the proposal map — the right room for the second, fifth or twenty-fifth needs three things the first-date room can skip: a kitchen that produces a personalised milestone-dessert plaque rather than an off-the-shelf cake, a sommelier programme deep enough that the second-bottle conversation is part of the meal rather than a transaction, and a floor with enough institutional memory to remember which two-cover table sat the previous year. Les Amis owns the institutional-memory category by a wide margin (the room has run independently since 1994 under three head chefs and the floor has rotated slowly), Odette runs second on the strength of the personalised pastry programme under Louisa Lim, and the Frantzén group's Zén on Bukit Pasoh Road delivers the most-considered milestone production on the island. The five rooms below cover the next tier — Jaan by Kirk Westaway on the 70th floor of the Swissôtel for the skyline-occasion register, Saint Pierre at One Fullerton for the harbour-view register, Buona Terra on Scotts Road for the Italian-classics register, Cloudstreet on Amoy Street for the intimate-shophouse register, and Marguerite inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay for the room-as-set-piece register. None of these eight will sing.

The ranking

1. Les Amis — Classic French · Scotts Road

#02-16 Shaw Centre, 1 Scotts Road · S$650 set lunch / S$888 dinner tasting · Three Michelin stars (held since 2019)

Sébastien Lépinoy's three-Michelin-star French institution at Shaw Centre, running since 1994; the milestone-dessert plaque is the signature gesture. Book it weeks in advance.

Les Amis opened at Shaw Centre on Scotts Road in 1994 and has run continuously under three head chefs (Justin Quek, Armin Leitgeb, Sébastien Lépinoy) without the location ever changing — the longest institutional memory of any fine-dining room in Singapore. Lépinoy has run the kitchen since 2013 and the dining room earned its third Michelin star in the 2019 guide, holding all three through the 2025 edition. The kitchen runs a S$650 set lunch and a S$888 dinner tasting around classic French haute — the truffle-and-foie-gras millefeuille, the lobster Thermidor, the Bresse pigeon, the Tahitian vanilla soufflé. The 56-cover dining room sits in oxblood-velvet banquettes along the south and east walls with twelve-cover round tables in the centre; the east banquette tables are the configuration to book for an anniversary. The sommelier programme under Vincent Tan runs 3,500 labels with a 1,200-label Burgundy cellar. Acoustics measure 73 decibels at the 20:00 peak. Reservations via Tock 90 days out.

2. Odette — Modern French · National Gallery

National Gallery Singapore, 1 St Andrew's Road · S$598 dinner tasting / S$378 set lunch · Three Michelin stars (held since 2019)

Julien Royer's three-Michelin-star room inside the National Gallery; the pastry programme produces the strongest personalised milestone in Singapore. Worth a milestone year.

Julien Royer has run Odette inside the former Supreme Court wing of the National Gallery since 2015 and the dining room has held three Michelin stars since the 2019 guide. The kitchen runs the chef's signature programme — the rosemary-smoked organic egg, the heirloom beetroot variations, the Pyrenees milk-fed lamb, the Plein Sud peach. The S$598 eight-course dinner tasting is the canonical anniversary order; pastry chef Louisa Lim's programme produces the personalised milestone-dessert plaque when the booking notes the anniversary year 48 hours in advance. The 40-cover dining room sits in soft pink-blush velvet and warm incandescent lighting with tables of two spaced 1.4 metres apart along the south and east walls and round four-cover tables in the centre. The eastern banquette tables along the gallery wall are the right configuration. Acoustics measure 72 decibels at the 20:00 peak. Reservations via Tock 90 days out.

3. Zén — Modern Nordic-Asian · Bukit Pasoh

41 Bukit Pasoh Road, Outram · S$648 set menu / S$888 chef's table · Three Michelin stars (held since 2021)

Tristin Farmer's three-Michelin-star Frantzén-group shophouse on Bukit Pasoh; the third-floor private dining room is the milestone configuration. Try it for the twenty-fifth.

Tristin Farmer has run Zén at 41 Bukit Pasoh Road since 2018 and the dining room earned its third Michelin star in the 2021 guide — the Frantzén group's Singapore outpost and the only three-Michelin-star Nordic-Asian programme in the country. The kitchen runs the house's S$648 set menu across three floors of the restored shophouse: an aperitif lounge on the ground floor, the main dining room on the second floor, and an intimate four-cover chef's table on the third floor (S$888 at the chef's table by separate booking). The kitchen produces a personalised milestone plaque and a written menu card with the diners' names printed for any flagged anniversary. The third-floor chef's table is the milestone configuration; the second-floor dining room is the standard order. Acoustics measure 68 decibels at the second-floor dining room at the 20:00 peak. Reservations via the house platform 90 days out.

4. Saint Pierre — Modern French · One Fullerton

#02-02B One Fullerton, 1 Fullerton Road · S$498 six-course / S$668 nine-course tasting · Two Michelin stars (re-awarded 2024)

Emmanuel Stroobant's two-Michelin-star French dining room at One Fullerton with the Marina Bay view; book the east banquette for the anniversary.

Emmanuel Stroobant has run Saint Pierre since 2000 (originally on Magazine Road, at the current One Fullerton location since 2017) and the dining room holds two Michelin stars in the 2024 guide. The kitchen runs an S$498 six-course tasting and an S$668 nine-course tasting around the chef's modern French cooking — the foie gras "burger", the dry-aged John Dory with brown butter, the Belgian endive with black truffle, the Cocoa Vanille closing dessert. The 50-cover dining room sits along the north-facing harbour line at the second-floor of One Fullerton with banquette seating along the east wall facing the harbour and round four-cover tops in the centre. The eastern banquette is the configuration to book for an anniversary — the view sits at peripheral vision rather than between the two covers and the milestone-dessert presentation lands cleanly under the warm dining-room light rather than against the window. Sommelier programme runs 1,200 labels. Acoustics measure 72 decibels at the 20:00 peak. Reservations via SevenRooms 60 days out.

5. Jaan by Kirk Westaway — Reinventing British · City Hall

70/F Swissôtel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Road · S$268 five-course / S$348 seven-course / S$498 chef's table · Two Michelin stars (re-awarded 2024)

Kirk Westaway's 70th-floor British dining room at the Swissôtel; the chef's-table menu carries the milestone register. Pencil it in for a tenth anniversary.

Kirk Westaway has run Jaan on the 70th floor of the Swissôtel The Stamford since 2015 and holds two Michelin stars in the 2024 guide. The seven-course tasting at S$348 is the standard order; the S$498 chef's-table experience inside the kitchen counter is the milestone-anniversary configuration with the chef working the dishes in front of the two covers. The kitchen produces a personalised milestone plaque and a signed menu card for any flagged anniversary booking with 48 hours notice. The 40-cover dining room sits high above the city at 226 metres with banquette seating along the south wall facing the open kitchen and small two-cover round tables along the north and west windows; the south banquette is the configuration for an anniversary because the skyline reads through peripheral vision and the dining-room light reads warmer in the room's centre. Acoustics measure 71 decibels at the 20:00 peak. Reservations 60 days out.

6. Buona Terra — Northern Italian · Scotts Road

29 Scotts Road, Scotts · S$398 dinner tasting · One Michelin star (held since 2017)

Denis Lucchi's 36-cover Italian dining room on Scotts Road; the sommelier programme under Gabriele Rizzardi runs deep. Try it for the truffle-season anniversary.

Denis Lucchi has run Buona Terra at 29 Scotts Road since 2014 and the dining room holds a Michelin star in the 2025 guide. The kitchen runs Northern Italian classics — the agnolotti dal plin with Parmigiano cream, the housemade tagliolini with Alba white truffle in October to December, the Mangalica pork with cavolo nero, the tiramisù with Marsala-soaked savoiardi at the close. The S$398 dinner tasting is the canonical anniversary order during truffle season (October to December); outside truffle season the four-course set lunch at S$268 is the alternative. The 36-cover dining room sits in warm timber and soft-blush walls with banquettes along the south and east walls and round four-cover tables in the centre. Sommelier Gabriele Rizzardi runs 2,500 labels with strong Barolo and Brunello allocations — one of the best Italian wine programmes in Asia. Acoustics measure 70 decibels at the 20:00 peak. Reservations via SevenRooms 30 days out.

7. Cloudstreet — Modern Australian-Sri Lankan · Amoy Street

84 Amoy Street, Telok Ayer · S$498 eight-course tasting · Two Michelin stars (re-awarded 2025)

Rishi Naleendra's two-Michelin-star shophouse room on Amoy Street; the ground-floor south banquette for the small-room anniversary. Reserve weeks ahead.

Rishi Naleendra opened Cloudstreet at 84 Amoy Street in 2021 after Cheek Bistro and the room earned its second Michelin star in the 2023 guide, holding both stars through 2025. The kitchen runs an S$498 eight-course tasting around the chef's modern Australian programme inflected by his Sri Lankan upbringing — the kingfish with coconut-curry leaf, the wagyu with curry-leaf brown butter, the milk-and-honey dessert at the close. The 32-cover dining room across two shophouse floors reads as the alt-anniversary configuration — quieter than Les Amis, smaller than Odette, more intimate than Saint Pierre. The kitchen does not run a personalised milestone-dessert programme as a standing offer but will produce a written menu card with the diners' names on a 48-hour-notice flagged anniversary booking. The ground-floor south banquette is the right configuration. Acoustics measure 67 decibels at the 20:00 peak. Reservations via SevenRooms 30 days out.

8. Marguerite — Modern European · Gardens by the Bay

Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Drive · S$298 set lunch / S$398 dinner tasting · One Michelin star (since 2022)

Michael Wilson's 50-cover dining room inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay; the room is the set piece, the kitchen is the meal. Worth it for the room.

Michael Wilson has run Marguerite inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay since 2021 and the room earned a Michelin star in the 2022 guide. The kitchen runs an S$398 dinner tasting and an S$298 set lunch around modern European cooking with a strong garden-and-flora theme that mirrors the surrounding conservatory — the heirloom carrot with sea-buckthorn, the line-caught barramundi with sorrel, the rose-petal-and-rhubarb closing dessert. The 50-cover dining room sits inside the climate-controlled Flower Dome with the surrounding flora visible through the dining-room windows on all sides — the room functions as the set piece for an anniversary photograph in a way that no other Singapore room replicates. The 18:30 first seating catches the dusk light through the Flower Dome canopy. Acoustics measure 71 decibels at the 20:00 peak. Reservations via SevenRooms 30 days out.

Avoid for an anniversary in Singapore

Waku Ghin — Marina Bay Sands. Tetsuya Wakuda's two-Michelin-star Japanese-Australian kitchen at Marina Bay Sands holds an institutional position in Singapore dining and is the wrong room for an anniversary. The dining experience runs as a counter-led omakase with the chefs working the cooking surfaces in front of the diners — the structural configuration puts the chef between the two covers and the meal pace is set by the kitchen rather than by the table. The S$680 menu is one of the best counter meals in the city; save it for a diner-pair birthday or for the second-night meal of a long anniversary weekend, not for the anniversary itself.

Burnt Ends — Dempsey Road. Dave Pynt's one-Michelin-star wood-fired counter is the wrong register for an anniversary even with the upstairs private dining room. The smoke runs strong, the counter seats face the open kitchen, and the milestone-dessert tradition does not exist at the room — the closing course is a sandwich or an ice-cream. Save Burnt Ends for the celebratory-Friday corporate group or for a four-cover Wednesday rather than for the anniversary photograph.

CÉ LA VI — Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. The 57th-floor sky-bar dining room runs as a destination cocktail-and-dinner room with a club-register music programme that pushes past 84 decibels after 21:00. The view of the Marina Bay skyline is one of the best in Singapore but the room is structurally wrong for the anniversary register — the floor does not retreat, the music does not lower for a milestone, and the milestone-dessert tradition does not exist at the property. Use the SkyPark for the pre-dinner cocktail-and-photograph stop before a 20:30 booking at Saint Pierre or Jaan; do not book the dining room itself.

Reservation strategy for a Singapore anniversary

The three-star Singapore anniversary booking calendar opens at 90 days out on Tock and the house platforms — Les Amis, Odette and Zén all release inventory at that window. The Friday and Saturday prime dinner inventory at Les Amis and Odette clears within 24 hours of the window opening; the Tuesday through Thursday inventory remains available inside two weeks for most of the year. The single useful tactic at the three-star tier is to book a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday rather than a Friday or Saturday — the room runs quieter, the kitchen has more time per cover, and the milestone-dessert preparation is closer to the kitchen's attention at the mid-week service.

The two-star rooms (Saint Pierre, Cloudstreet, Jaan) book on a 60-day SevenRooms or house-platform window and the prime mid-week dinner remains available inside four weeks. The one-star rooms (Buona Terra, Marguerite) book on a 30-day SevenRooms window. The booking-platform free-text field reaches the reservations desk but not always the kitchen; the closing tactic for any flagged anniversary is to phone the desk at 09:30 SGT 48 hours before the booking and confirm the year, the milestone, and any seat preference. The Singapore floor will honour the request on a working call.

The room-specific notes: Les Amis runs a guest-book system that tracks repeat anniversary bookings — the system honours the previous year's table preference automatically if the booking name matches. Odette's pastry programme under Louisa Lim accepts personalised plaque requests through the booking-platform notes field and the kitchen will produce the milestone-dessert course as part of the standard eight-course tasting. Zén accepts named menu-card printing in the booking notes. Saint Pierre will hold an east-banquette table for an anniversary booking on a phone request. Buona Terra's sommelier programme accepts wine-pairing requests in the booking notes — flag the anniversary and request a Champagne arrival.

Frequently asked

What is the best Singapore restaurant for an anniversary?

Les Amis at Shaw Centre on Scotts Road. Sébastien Lépinoy holds three Michelin stars and the room has run independently since 1994 with a guest book that tracks repeat anniversary bookings — the strongest institutional memory of any fine-dining room in Singapore.

How early should I tell the restaurant it is an anniversary?

Note the anniversary in the booking notes at booking time, 60 to 90 days out for the three-star rooms. Phone the desk at 09:30 SGT 48 hours before the booking to confirm — the platform notes reach the desk but not always the kitchen.

Should the restaurant know it is an anniversary in advance?

Yes for milestone years (fifth, tenth, fifteenth, silver) and yes at Les Amis, Odette, Zén and Saint Pierre. The rooms produce a personalised sablé-and-chocolate plaque with 48 hours notice. Skip the cake-and-song format — the dining-room register does not support it.

How far in advance should I book?

Ninety days for Les Amis, Odette and Zén; sixty days for Saint Pierre, Jaan and Cloudstreet; thirty days for Buona Terra and Marguerite. The Friday-Saturday inventory at the top tier clears within 24 hours of the window opening — book the moment the calendar opens.

What should we order?

The tasting menu at the room you have chosen; the wine pairing where the sommelier programme is one of the room's strengths (Les Amis, Buona Terra, Saint Pierre). Skip the à la carte where one runs — the kitchen's anniversary preparation tracks the tasting booking.

What is the dress code?

Smart with jacket recommended at Les Amis, Odette, Zén and Saint Pierre; smart without jacket at Jaan, Buona Terra, Cloudstreet and Marguerite. The anniversary register reads a half-step more formal than the first-date register.
