The freshly released Michelin Guide Singapore 2025 is turning heads in the culinary world. With 36 new restaurants entering the coveted selection, the city-state confirms once again why it remains one of Asia’s most exciting food capitals. From sleek omakase counters to contemporary vegetarian havens, this year’s guide offers a rich snapshot of where Singapore’s food culture is headed.
A Vibrant Culinary Map: 288 Places Now Under The Spotlight
Singapore’s dining scene just got even hotter, with 288 establishments earning their place in the new Michelin lineup. This includes three restaurants holding on to the prized three Michelin stars (hello again, Les Amis, Odette, and Zén), 7 restaurants with two stars, and 32 one-starred gems. Add to that 89 Bib Gourmand entries and 157 Michelin Selected venues, and you’ve got yourself a feast-worthy lineup across more than 40 cuisine types.

Singapore’s Sushi Scene Just Exploded
One of the most buzzworthy upgrades this year comes from Sushi Sakuta, which moves up to two Michelin stars. With its intimate ten-seat counter made from a 200-year-old Nara cypress, Chef Yoshio Sakuta is serving up seasonal Japanese fish with near-reverent precision. Meanwhile, Omakase @ Stevens makes a bold debut with one Michelin star, thanks to Kazuki Arimoto‘s seamless blend of Japanese heritage and French technique. Bonus: Arimoto, just 31, also takes home this year’s Young Chef Award.
Green Stars Shine on Singapore’s Sustainable Kitchens
The guide’s Green Star category—celebrating culinary sustainability—is still a niche badge, but worth watching. Seroja and Fiz hold steady in this category, leading the way with locally sourced ingredients, low-waste kitchens, and a focus on fermentation. It’s a reminder that fine dining and planet-friendly practices can go hand in hand, even in a hyper-urban food haven like Singapore.
Newcomers Shaking Up The Michelin Selected List
This year’s 26 new Michelin Selected restaurants hint at Singapore’s increasingly cosmopolitan and creative dining culture. Highlights? Try Ki Su, a vegetarian omakase concept that’s as elegant as it is bold. Or Latido, serving up Colombian flavors rarely seen in this part of the world. There’s also Na Oh with its modern Korean vision, Nómada channeling contemporary Spanish vibes, and Yong Fu introducing authentic Ningbo cuisine. It’s like a passport to global flavor, without ever leaving town.
Service, Soul and the Art of the Pour
This year’s Michelin Special Awards are a reminder that food is only part of the experience. Ines Carriere Bega, from Odette, picks up the Service Award for her graceful table-side presence and easy rapport with guests. Over at Jaan by Kirk Westaway, Bella Jankaew earns the Sommelier Award, thanks to her razor-sharp wine instincts and a cellar boasting over 3,000 labels. These behind-the-scenes stars are quietly shaping how we taste, sip, and remember each meal.
