Michelin Restaurants in Singapore 2026
The word “MICHELIN” has two meanings to people. One, a respected tyre company and two, the definitive source for exceptional culinary experiences across the globe with its ‘MICHELIN Guide’.
Discover MICHELIN star restaurants in Singapore, regarded as the pinnacle of gourmet excellence.
The Michelin Guide
First published in the early 1900s, the MICHELIN Guide began as a free guidebook for motorists, packed with useful information like maps, locations for fuel stations and rest stops.
In the 1920s, the founding Michelin brothers realised the overlooked value of the restaurants’ section within their guide. Diners were soon employed to visit and review places anonymously, and started to award what we know today as MICHELIN stars, to outstanding restaurants.
The MICHELIN Star Rating System
The Michelin Star system was first introduced in 1926, where eligible restaurants could earn 1 Star for being “a very good restaurant.” It was only in 1931 that MICHELIN introduced individual star ratings: zero, one, two and three stars to denote the restaurant’s culinary standing — from a good, solid table worth a stop, to a restaurant so exceptional it justifies a special journey.
MICHELIN Star Inspection & Assessment Process
To ensure independent and impartial reviews, MICHELIN inspectors remain anonymous, visit shortlisted restaurants as normal diners without any prior invitation and pay for their own meals to avoid preferential treatment. Each inspector is trained at the official MICHELIN Guide training centre in France.
The 5-Point Star Criteria
MICHELIN’s inspectors use a 5-point criteria to evaluate and award stars to restaurants they visit. The criteria include: ingredient quality, mastery of flavour and cooking techniques, personality of the chef in his cuisine, overall value for money, and food consistency between visits. Since the assessment criteria are based solely on the food quality and taste, décor or service quality are not taken into consideration before awarding them a Star.
Maintaining the MICHELIN Standard
Earning a MICHELIN Star is only the beginning. Restaurants undergo regular inspections and are reinspected on a yearly basis to ensure that their high standards are maintained. Should standards decline over time, a restaurant may lose its star.
