Four one-star Singapore restaurants lose Michelin stars

Michelin’s Singapore 2026 guide removed four former one-star restaurants after they closed, trimming names that had appeared in earlier editions of the city’s dining rankings. The four restaurants were Alma, Chaleur, Esora and Euphoria, according to VnExpress International’s report on the August 4 update. Michelin’s official 2026 Singapore release said the guide’s 10th edition now covers 307 establishments across the city. The August 4 ceremony marked Michelin’s 10th Singapore edition and produced a broader expansion even as those four names disappeared. Michelin said the 2026 selection includes 45 Michelin-starred restaurants, 97 Bib Gourmand venues and 165 Michelin Selected addresses. CNA Luxury and other Singapore outlets reported the results were announced at a live ceremony on August 4. ### Which restaurants were dropped, and were they previously starred? (guide.michelin.com) Alma, Chaleur, Esora and Euphoria had all been listed by Michelin as one-star restaurants in prior Singapore guides. Archived Michelin restaurant pages identify Alma and Esora as one-star entries in the 2025 Singapore guide, while Chaleur also appeared as a one-star restaurant in the 2025 edition. Michelin’s archived page for Euphoria identifies it as a one-star restaurant in the 2024 guide. (guide.michelin.com) VnExpress said the four removals followed permanent closures. The Michelin Guide’s current Singapore restaurant listings no longer include those restaurants among the 2026 one-star selection. ### How big is the 2026 Singapore guide after those removals? Michelin said the 2026 Singapore selection spans 307 establishments in total, a figure the guide highlighted in its official announcement for the 10th edition. (guide.michelin.com) That total sits alongside 45 starred restaurants in all, broken down by Michelin and Singapore media reports as three three-star restaurants, nine two-star restaurants and 33 one-star restaurants. Honeycombers, Lifestyle Asia and other local outlets separately matched the topline counts, reporting 97 Bib Gourmand venues and 165 Michelin Selected establishments in this year’s guide. (msn.com) Michelin’s own Singapore pages currently show 89 Bib Gourmand venues and 174 or 175 selected restaurants depending on page version, suggesting some live directory pages may not yet fully mirror the ceremony totals published in the official release. That discrepancy is an inference based on Michelin’s current site pages and published release. (guide.michelin.com) ### Did Michelin still add new names this year? Michelin said eight restaurants were newly awarded or promoted in Singapore’s 2026 edition, led by one debut at two stars and five first-time one-star winners. Singapore outlets reported the starred total rose from 42 in 2025 to 45 in 2026, even with closures removing several former one-star names. The one-star category therefore changed in two directions at once: closures erased four established names, while new awards replenished the list. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s official release framed the edition as a milestone anniversary selection rather than a contraction. ### Where can readers check the current list themselves? Michelin’s official Singapore guide pages now host the 2026 selection, including the full restaurant directory and the one-star category page. (guide.michelin.com) The ceremony page says the Singapore 2026 awards were unveiled on August 4 at Raffles Sentosa Singapore. The current Singapore guide is the next reference point for diners and restaurants until Michelin publishes its next annual update. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s official release and restaurant directory remain the primary public record for the 2026 selection. (guide.michelin.com)
