After the announcement of the Michelin Bib Gourmand results on July 17, it’s now time for the full selection of the Michelin Guide Singapore 2025, now in its ninth edition.
The results were announced at the Michelin Guide ceremony held at Marina Bay Sands on Thursday (July 24).
In total, 288 locations are recognised in this year’s Michelin Guide, comprising 42 Michelin-starred restaurants (three of which earned three Michelin stars, and seven two Michelin stars), 89 Michelin Bib Gourmand eateries and 157 Michelin Selected establishments.
This year, no other restaurant joined Odette, Les Amis and Zen in the three-Michelin-star category.
Cloudstreet, Jaan by Kirkwestaway, Meta, Shoukouwa, Saint Pierre and Thevar retained their two Michelin stars.
Joining them is Sushi Sakuta, a Japanese omakase specialist that has been promoted from one Michelin star. The establishment was first awarded a one star in 2023.
This year, only one establishment earned its first one Michelin star — Omakase @ Stevens.
The chef-owner of Omakase @ Stevens, Kazuki Arimoto, is an Osaka native who honed his skills in Tokyo. He also is the recipient of the Young Chef Award, which was presented by BlancPain during the Michelin Guide ceremony.
The one-Michelin-star list boasts 32 eateries, including the only hawker stall, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, which has retained its star since 2016, as well as Burnt Ends, Esora, Iggy’s, Labyrinth and Waku Ghin.
Apart from chef Kazuki from Omakase @ Stevens, Ines Carriere Bega from Odette won the Michelin Guide Service Award and Bella Jankaew from Jaan by Kirk Westaway won the Michelin Guide Sommelier Award.
Twenty-six new establishments have made it to the Michelin Selected list for the first time. It is awarded to eateries that have met the criteria set by Michelin inspectors but that don’t qualify for a Michelin Bib Gourmand or Michelin Star yet.
This includes vegetarian omakase restaurant Ki Su, Taiwanese contemporary restaurant Iru Den, Spanish contemporary restaurant Nomada and Middle Eastern restaurant The Prince.
For the Michelin Green Star, which highlights establishments at the forefront of the industry for their sustainable practices and dining experiences, two restaurants have maintained their status — one-Michelin-starred Seroja and Michelin Selected Fiz.
A manual count by AsiaOne showed that 10 establishments that were on the 2024 list were not on the 2025 list; these are Art Di Daniele Sperindio, Chef Kang’s, Matera, Oshino, Poise, Rhubarb, Shinji, Sommer, Sushi Kimura and Terra. However, there is as yet no official confirmation from Michelin Guide Singapore on this.
In 2024, there were 283 Michelin Guide-recommended locations — 51 starred restaurants, 81 Bib Gourmand eateries and 151 Michelin Selected venues.
