Michelin Guide Singapore adds six one-stars

Michelin unveiled its Singapore 2026 guide on August 4 at Raffles Sentosa Singapore, expanding the city’s starred list with six new one-star restaurants and two additions to the two-star tier. The results brought Singapore to 45 starred restaurants in total, according to Michelin’s published selection and local coverage of the ceremony. 1887 by André entered the guide with two stars on debut, while Seroja moved up from one star to two. The latest edition listed 33 one-star restaurants, nine two-star restaurants and three three-star restaurants, according to CNA Luxury and other Singapore food outlets reporting from the event. Michelin’s Singapore restaurant directory also shows the market’s starred restaurants and updated distinctions, though category totals displayed on some official pages appeared lower than the ceremony results cited by local reports.

Six restaurants were newly awarded one Michelin star: Tenshima at Millenia Walk, Jin Ting Wan at Marina Bay Sands, Cherry Garden by Chef Fei at Mandarin Oriental Singapore, Sushi Kimura+ at Conrad Singapore Orchard, Yong Fu at Suntec City, and Loca Niru at House of Tan Yeok Nee. Those names were listed by CNA Luxury, The Straits Times and HungryGoWhere after the August 4 ceremony. (cnaluxury.channelnewsasia.com) The Straits Times reported that Sushi Kimura+ marked chef Tomoo Kimura’s return to the starred list. Local reports also said four former one-star restaurants — Alma, Chaleur, Esora and Euphoria — dropped off after closing, helping explain why the one-star total rose to 33 despite six additions. ### Why did 1887 by André stand out? (cnaluxury.channelnewsasia.com) 1887 by André was the only restaurant to debut directly with two stars in this year’s Singapore guide, according to CNA Luxury and The Straits Times. CNA Luxury said the restaurant opened on March 31 at Raffles Singapore before entering the guide less than five months later. CNA Luxury reported that Michelin also gave 1887 by André the inaugural Opening of the Year award, a new special prize for a restaurant opened within the previous 12 months. (straitstimes.com) That made the restaurant the most prominent first-time entrant in the 2026 results. ### What changed for Seroja? Seroja was promoted from one star to two stars, according to Michelin-linked listings and Singapore media reports from the ceremony. (cnaluxury.channelnewsasia.com) The restaurant, led by chef-owner Kevin Wong, opened in 2022 and focuses on food from the Malay Archipelago, according to its Michelin profile. Kevin Wong told CNA Luxury before the ceremony that “it would be nice” to receive two stars, but that “at the end of the day, we do our best.” After the promotion, The Straits Times reported Wong said, “We never imagined this,” in remarks from the event.
