The results for the 2021 Michelin Guide Singapore are in.
The announcement of these star-studded restaurants comes with bated breath, as last year’s selection was cancelled in consideration of the long period of closure of restaurants in the country from COVID-19. Since its inception in 2016, this year’s announcement is the first fully virtual ceremony for the guide in Singapore, planned in light of the pandemic.
Prior to the announcement of this year’s Michelin Guide, the local dining scene has seen the exit of some renowned names such as one Michelin-starred Cheek by Jowl. Names that have been axed from this year’s list include Hawker Chan.

Yet, Singapore’s dining scene is ever-changing, and we have welcomed a wave of new restaurants that have made their way into the list. This includes 28 Wilkie Restaurant, Art, Cure and Esora.
Some of the island’s biggest fine dining names like Les Amis, Odette, Shisen Hanten, Shoukouwa have also managed to retain their stars, while Restaurant Zen and JAAN by Kirk Westaway managed to add yet another star to their names.
This brings the total of Michelin-starred restaurants to 49 this year, up from 44 in 2019.
