Michelin Guide Singapore 2023 full list: no new 2- or 3-star restaurants, but a hat-trick for young chef Kevin Wong of cult favourite Seroja
- The three 3-Michelin-star restaurants in Singapore retain their status in the Michelin Guide Singapore 2023 – which still has no 3-star Asian restaurants
- Five new restaurants have been awarded a first Michelin star, including a venue serving food with flavours of the Malay Archipelago
The news in the Singapore restaurant world is that there’s not much news.
No new three-star dining spots were announced when the Michelin Guide Singapore 2023 was unveiled at an in-person ceremony on June 27. There are still the same three restaurants, designated as “worth a special journey”, as last year: Les Amis, Odette and Zen.
There are still no three-Michelin-star restaurants in Singapore that feature Asian cuisine: Odette and Les Amis are French-influenced and Zén, an outpost of Franzen in Stockholm, Sweden, has a Scandinavian influence.
There are six two-Michelin-star places – the accolade signifying they are “worth a detour” – one fewer than in 2022; Shisen Hanten, which serves nuanced Sichuan-accented food, dropped to a one-star establishment.
In the 2023 guide there are 56 starred restaurants, up from 52 in 2022, with four restaurants earning their first Michelin star – meaning they are adjudged “high quality, worth a stop” – to take the number with one star to 46, from 42.
Among the four is Born, the modern French Asian dining room.
