The Best MICHELIN Star Restaurants in Singapore 2026: What All Nine Actually Cost, From a S$8 Hawker Bowl to a S$743 Dinner

Chef Julien Royer's modern French flagship inside National Gallery Singapore holds three stars for the seventh year running, and it is still the name most locals reach for when "the best restaurant in Singapore" comes up. Named for Royer's grandmother, the cooking is ingredient-obsessed and quietly emotional: heirloom beetroot, rose veal, pigeon, plated in a blush-toned room that regularly ranks among Asia's 50 Best. WHAT IT COSTS, off Odette's own reservations page: lunch is S$298++ for the Nature & Découverte vegetarian menu, S$328++ for Terre & Mer, and S$428++ for Indulgence; dinner is S$398++ vegetarian or S$498++ for Épicure. Add 10% service and 9% GST and the cheapest way in works out at about S$357. Note the order there, because it is the opposite of what most people assume: at both services the vegetarian menu is the cheapest on the card. HOURS: lunch Tuesday to Saturday (12pm last seating 1pm), dinner Monday to Saturday (6.30pm, last seating 8.15pm), closed Sunday. THE FINE PRINT: deposits are non-refundable and changes need 72 hours' notice, corkage is S$200++ per 750ml for the first two bottles and S$300++ thereafter, Odette seats children aged 9 and above only, and a celebration cake from its own pastry team is S$78++ with 72 hours' notice. BEST FOR: the special-occasion meal you will still be talking about next year, and the one three-star room where going vegetarian saves you money.

The grande dame of Singapore fine dining and, with Odette, one of only two restaurants holding three stars for seven straight years. Chef Sebastien Lepinoy cooks classical French with obsessive technique and one of the deepest wine cellars in the region, in a hushed jewel-box room at Shaw Centre. WHAT IT COSTS, off Les Amis' own menu PDFs on 17 September 2026: the prix-fixe lunch has gone, and the lunch and dinner pages now link the same autumn menus. Les Menus Dégustation d'Automne offers the 5-course Automne Classique (caviar on Roseval potatoes, chestnut velouté, venison, cheese, rum baba) at S$420 and the 6-course Tradition Française (blue lobster, scallops, sea bass with Oscietra caviar, Challans duck, cheese, apple soufflé) at S$550, each prepared for the whole table. La Carte Automne runs from a S$75 chestnut velouté to a S$595 tin of Petrossian caviar for two, with mains at S$125 to S$155 and desserts at S$45. All are before service charge and GST, which puts the Classique at about S$504 and the Tradition Française at about S$659. The cheapest three courses you can build a la carte (velouté, duck, dessert) come to S$245, about S$294 on the bill. WORTH KNOWING: roundups across the category still sell Les Amis as the bargain three-star on the strength of a set lunch around the S$200 mark, and as recently as 7 September its menus carried a weekday 3-course prix fixe at S$355. Neither is on a current Les Amis menu; the S$205 figure survives only inside a commented-out block on its own site that no visitor sees. ALSO ON THE CARD: Le Menu 2026, a 16-course Dégustation Automne at S$550, runs from 1 to 14 October 2026 only. BEST FOR: classicists and wine lovers, and anyone happy to order a la carte rather than commit the whole table to a set menu.

The Singapore outpost of Sweden's Frantzen, spread over three floors of a restored Bukit Pasoh shophouse and run like a dinner party: you move from lounge to kitchen counter to dining room across one long, theatrical Nordic-meets-Asian tasting. Sixth straight year at three stars. WHAT IT COSTS, off Zen's own site: the fixed dinner is S$620++ per guest and lunch is S$450++ with supplementary courses available. With 10% service and 9% GST that is about S$743 for dinner and about S$540 for lunch, making it comfortably the most expensive meal in this guide. THE BOOKING RULE THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS: Zen holds only 23 seats, opens for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday, and releases tables for the coming month on the 1st of each month at 10am Singapore time. Parties of 5 to 8 have to email or phone rather than book online. It also states it cannot accommodate vegan, milk-protein-free or coeliac menus, which is a harder line than the others here draw. BEST FOR: a once-a-year blowout where the whole experience, not just the food, is the point.

The story of the 2026 guide. Andre Chiang, who famously handed back the two stars of his old Restaurant Andre in 2018, returned to the Singapore dining room this year with 1887 by Andre at Raffles Hotel, and MICHELIN awarded it two stars AND Opening of the Year in its very first season, an almost unheard-of debut. The concept, "Taste of Time," reinterprets heritage dishes through modern French technique in the historic former Raffles Grill room, with interiors by Bill Bensley. WHAT IT COSTS: unknown, and that is the finding. 1887 publishes no prices on its own site, the Raffles dining page carries none either, and its booking widget quotes no price against any slot, so this is the only restaurant in this guide you cannot price before you get in touch. Call +65 6412 1816 or email 1887byAndre@raffles.com and ask before you commit. THE ONE FIGURE IT DOES PUBLISH is the penalty: cancel or amend within 72 hours of your booking, or fail to show up, and Raffles charges S$200 per person. HOW TO GET IN: lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sundays and Mondays, with last seatings at 1.30pm and 8.30pm. Reservations open 60 days ahead with newly released slots added daily, and Raffles states walk-in guests are welcome subject to availability, which is unusual for a two-star. The room seats guests aged 12 and above only. BEST FOR: seeing the year's most talked-about opening, provided you are comfortable asking the price first.

Chef Kevin Wong's love letter to the Malay Archipelago, promoted from one star to two in 2026 while keeping the MICHELIN Green Star it made history winning, Singapore's first. The 24-seat Duo Galleria room plates Nusantara flavours with fine-dining precision and sits at No. 20 on Asia's 50 Best. WHAT IT COSTS, off Seroja's own menu page: the Kuntum lunch menu is S$218++ and the Nusantara dinner menu is S$288++, with wine pairing at S$158++ lunch and S$198++ dinner, or a non-alcoholic pairing at S$108++ and S$148++. That makes the lunch about S$261 all in, the second-cheapest tasting menu in this guide. THE DETAIL NO ROUNDUP CARRIES: Seroja states on its own reservations page that its food menu contains no pork and no alcohol, and that its meat is sourced from halal sources. It is not MUIS halal-certified and does not claim to be, so verify directly if certification is what you need, but of the fine-dining rooms here it is the only one a Muslim diner can realistically consider. HOURS: dinner Tuesday to Saturday 6pm to 11pm (last seating 8.30pm), lunch Fridays and Saturdays only, 12pm to 2.30pm. Bookings open 60 days ahead; corkage is S$150++ per 750ml for the first two bottles, S$200++ after. BEST FOR: serious cooking with a Southeast-Asian soul, and the shortlist for anyone who does not eat pork.

On the 70th floor of Swissotel The Stamford, with one of the best skyline views in the city, chef Kirk Westaway serves "reinventing British" cuisine: refined, seasonal and more playful than the white-tablecloth setting suggests. WHAT IT COSTS, off JAAN's own menu PDFs: lunch is S$198++ for 4 courses or S$238++ for 5, and dinner is S$388++. That S$198++ lunch, about S$237 once service and GST land, is the cheapest fine-dining tasting menu in this guide, and it costs less than the cheapest lunch at any of Singapore's three-star restaurants (Odette S$298++, Les Amis S$420++, Zen S$450++). Wine flights run S$108++ for 3 or S$148++ for 5 at lunch, S$268++ at dinner with a premium flight at S$538++; the non-alcoholic flight of 5 is S$88++. WORTH KNOWING: the vegetarian menus are priced identically to the meat ones at every service, so unlike Odette there is no saving in going meat-free here. HOURS: lunch 11.45am to 2.30pm and dinner 6.30pm to 10.30pm, Tuesday to Saturday, with last reservations at 12.45pm and 7.45pm. BEST FOR: two stars and a skyline for less than most people spend on a birthday dinner.

Chef Sun Kim's two-star reads modern and confident: French foundations threaded with Korean and Japanese accents, ingredient-led and precise. FIRST, THE ADDRESS, because almost every guide still gets it wrong, ours included until this update. Meta opened on Keong Saik Road in November 2015 and won its first star in 2017, but its own About page states it moved to Mohamed Sultan Road in 2023. It now trades at 9 Mohamed Sultan Road, Singapore 238959, a good 15 minutes' walk from the Keong Saik strip that roundups keep sending people to. The second star followed in 2024. WHAT IT COSTS, off Meta's own menu page: lunch is S$248++ per diner and runs Fridays and Saturdays only; dinner is S$328++ for 8 courses, and the cheaper 6-course menu at S$288++ is available Mondays to Thursdays on request only, so on a Friday or Saturday night S$328++ is the only dinner price. Beverage pairing is S$280++, non-alcoholic S$120++. Corkage is S$200 per bottle, though Meta operates a 1-for-1 bring-your-own policy. HOURS: dinner Monday to Saturday from 6pm, with a second seating at 8.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays; lunch Fridays and Saturdays 12pm to 3pm, last seating 1pm. THE DEPOSIT: S$200 per diner, and if fewer people turn up than you booked for, Meta forfeits S$200 for each missing guest. Smart casual; no shorts, flip flops or slippers. BEST FOR: a serious meal on Mohamed Sultan Road, booked for the right day.

The world's first Peranakan restaurant to win a MICHELIN star, back in 2016, and one of only 12 Singapore restaurants that have held a star in every edition of the guide since. Chef Malcolm Lee cooks the Nyonya food he grew up on at Dempsey: buah keluak, blue-pea-flower rice, sambal everything. WHAT IT COSTS, off Candlenut's own menus: the Ah-Ma-Kase tasting menu is S$108++ at lunch and S$138++ at dinner, which is about S$129 and S$165 with service and GST, the cheapest tasting menu of any restaurant in this guide. The a la carte goes cheaper still and is where the real value sits: Bakwan Kepiting soup S$16, ngoh hiang S$22, Jeju black pork collar satay S$24, chap chye S$28, buah keluak fried rice S$28, chef's mum's chicken curry S$34, and the signature Aunt Caroline's babi buah keluak at S$48. WORTH KNOWING: Malcolm Lee now holds stars at two Peranakan tables, Candlenut and the tasting-menu-only Pangium at the Botanic Gardens, which also holds one star in the 2026 guide. So Candlenut is no longer the only starred Peranakan restaurant, just the first, and the more relaxed of the two. It is also the only restaurant in this guide open seven days a week: lunch 12pm to 3pm and dinner 6pm to 10pm, daily. BEST FOR: sharing-style Singaporean heritage food that still earns its star, on the day that suits you rather than the day the kitchen allows.

Yes, one of Singapore's MICHELIN stars costs about S$8. Hill Street Tai Hwa's bak chor mee, springy noodles, minced and sliced pork, meatballs and a punchy vinegar-and-chilli sauce, has held a one star since 2016 from a hawker stall at Blk 466 Crawford Lane #01-12. There is no booking, no service charge, no GST and no dress code, which means the price on the board is the price you pay, the only entry in this guide where that is true. THE DAY TRAP EVERY GUIDE MISSES: the stall's own site gives its hours as Monday to Sunday, 9am to 8.30pm, and then adds that it closes on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month. Almost every roundup, ours included until now, simply says "open daily". For the rest of 2026 that means it is shut on 21 September, 5 and 19 October, 2 and 16 November, and 7 and 21 December. ONE MORE THING: the business states there is only one outlet and that the Tai Hwa stalls you see in food courts are not theirs, so a queue in a mall basement is not this star. Founded by Mr Tang Joon Teo at Hill Street in 1932, it moved to Marina Square in the 1990s and to Crawford Lane in 2004. BEST FOR: proof that world-class eating in Singapore starts at hawker prices, on a day the shutter is actually up.
