Embracing an array of dining formats and cuisines, Singapore’s Michelin Guide 2024 comprises a whopping 283 locations. Here are some noteworthy restaurants to put on your dining bucket list

The Michelin Guide has been a powerful marketing tool, uncovering top fine-dining destinations in 40 countries and counting. On a list of countries with the highest number of Michelin-rated restaurants per capita, Singapore comes in seventh on the leaderboards. With 53 Michelin-ranked restaurants and a population of almost 6.1 million, our little red dot boasts one restaurant for every 114,000 people. To put that in perspective, Switzerland tops this same list with one Michelin-rated restaurant for every 66,872 people. And Singapore is much, much smaller than Switzerland.

“Singapore’s multicultural character extends beautifully to its world-renowned food scene. The variety of options — from fine-dining establishments to iconic hawker centres steeped in tradition — offer a truly captivating culinary experience for visitors,” remarks Gwendall Poullennac, international director of the Michelin Guide, on the dining landscape in Singapore.

In its eighth edition this year, Singapore sees one restaurant earning a second Michelin Star, another lauded for its commitment to sustainability with a Michelin Green Star, and more. Searching for restaurants in town that won’t let you down? Look no further.
