The Guide has spoken: 288 restaurants in Singapore are worthy of a spot on the coveted red book this year, with one restaurant added to the one-star line-up, and another promoted to two-star status. Ahead of this evening’s Michelin Guide 2025 awards ceremony in Marina Bay Sands, the Guide first released its Bib Gourmand 2025 picks last week, with 11 new eateries joining the ranks. 

2025 marks the ninth year since the Michelin Guide landed in Singapore. And while it’s no secret that the F&B industry suffered plenty of closures recently (this year has 32 one-star restaurants compared to 42 last year, mostly due to closures), tonight’s ceremony proves once again that our tiny city is still chock-full of culinary giants.

Receiving both the Young Chef Award and his first star is Kazuki Arimoto of Omakase @ Stevens, the fine-dining restaurant at Novotel Singapore on Stevens specialises in omakase with French culinary inflexions. Then there’s chef-owner Yoshio Sakuta of Sushi Sakuta, who now has a shiny new two-Michelin-star plaque – a bump from his one-star award last year. The intimate 10-seater restaurant offers a seasonal omakase menu exclusively serving Japanese fish, and demonstrates precision in using two varieties of Japanese rice and five types of sushi vinegar. 

New entries aside, most of the list remains the same, with the Michelin three-star category dominated by three familiar names in the fine-dining scene. You guessed it – once again, French restaurants Les Amis and Odette, as well as contemporary European restaurant Zén remain snug in the watertight three-star category. This is Odette’s seventh consecutive year receiving three stars and Les Amis’ sixth.

Meanwhile, Singapore’s two Michelin Green Star awardees retain their titles – contemporary Southeast Asian restaurants Fiz and Seroja continue to go above and beyond in their efforts to source sustainable ingredients, conserve energy and reduce food waste. They also deliver big on flavour and are consistent picks on our Time Out Singapore 50 best restaurants list

All in all, Singapore now has a whopping 288 establishments on the Michelin Guide, including three three-stars, seven two-stars, thirty-two one-star, 89 Bib Gourmand, two Green stars and 157 Michelin Selected venues.
