This guide is for the Michelin foodies. For your convenience, I tried to include key information of Singapore’s Michelin starred restaurants in one page.
That includes address, reservation number, opening hours, degustation prices (if available), websites and reviews (indiciated with a blue-colored link if availabe). Do note the prices of some restaurants, unfortunately, are likely to increase.
I suspect that most Singaporeans cannot be bothered at all about chasing stars, while I hear of foodies who are going down the ENTIRE list. Some of my friends are keen to try 2-3 of them – which they previously did not hear of and are curious about. (Actually, some can skip lah. LOL)

The L’Atelier counter is where you can watch the chefs in full action within an open kitchen concept – as though you are watching a cooking programme.
The square counter seating is inspired by Tokyo sushi restaurants, with a sexy colour scheme of lush red and mysterious black.
Pardon us if you come across sounding ‘cheapo’, but we did notice an “Early Evening Dinner at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon”, in which a 3-course dinner would be served at $78++ (Previously, the cost was $40++. Oh darn!) Still a value-for-money promotion, though the catch is that the meal was offered 5:30pm to 6:30pm. L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon (Resorts World Sentosa)

Les Amis filled the void of fine-dining French restaurants in Singapore during the 1990s, and quickly became one of the most recognisable names in the industry. However, the group seemed to have shifted focus to their mid-tier restaurants such as Aoki, La Strada and Bistro Du Vin and casual dining concepts of Nam Nam and Pepperoni Pizza.
Chef de Cuisine Sebastien Lepinoy, who is protégé of Joël Robuchon, joined the restaurant in 2013. The Dinner Degustation Menu ($295) includes Oscietra Caviar from Kaviari with Cold Angel Hair and Sherry Vinegar, and Pan Seared Foie Gras and French River Eel accompanied by Cherry Fruits.

The Gastro-Botanica cuisine created by Chef Jason Tan would a shoo-in for one of the best fine dining meals I had in Singapore. I won’t deny that there is this element of support for a young and talented Singaporean chef.
Located in the black-and-white bungalow EJH Corner House within the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Chef Jason’s cuisine could be described as French with some twists inspired from food from his growing up years and travels. There was also inclusion of strong botanical elements – sustainably-sourced seasonal produce and vegetables, due to its unique location.
