Les Amis and Odette are the newly crowned 3 Michelin Star restaurants in the 4th edition of the Michelin Guide in Singapore.
The Michelin Guide Singapore 2019 has awarded stars to a total of 44 restaurants, including 8 new starred-restaurants and 5 promotions. It includes:
– Two restaurants with 3 stars
– Five restaurants with 2 stars
– 37 restaurants with one star
It appears that French restaurants are getting a bountiful year, with Odette, Les Amis and Saint Pierre moving up the ranks.
A week earlier, it was announced that 58 food places in Singapore were awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, with 12 new entries including Fu Ming Cooked Food (Carrot Cake) and Guan Kee Fried Kway Teow.

The two NEW 2-stars restaurants are:
– Saint Pierre (moved from 1 star)
– Zén
The nine NEW 1-star restaurants include:
– Basque Kitchen by Aitor
– Buona Terra
– Cheek Bistro (previously known as Cheek by Jowl)
– Restaurant JAG
– Lerouy
– Meta Restaurant (moved location)
– Table 65
– Terra
– Vianney Massot (previously known as Bacchanalia)
Crystal Jade Golden Palace which was previously awarded 1-star has dropped out this year. It is currently listed under the “Michelin Plate” category.
Chef Rishi Naleendra who previously helmed 1-Michelin starred Cheek by Jowl, ‘regains’ it back with the rebranded Cheek Bistro.
Terra Restaurant which was listed in the inaugural guide and dropped out 2 years ago, returns with 1 star.
Some may be perplexed why Meta Restaurant would be considered a “new restaurant”. That is because it moved from 9 to 1 Keong Saik Road.
The two hawker stalls Hawker Chan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle and Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles retain their 1 star, but there are views that the standard of Hawker Chan’s chicken rice may not be that consistent anymore.

When preparing the selection, Michelin inspectors reviewed all types of cuisines and considered only the quality of the food.
All establishments are selected according to the same five criteria used by Michelin inspectors around the world. They are:
1) quality of the ingredients used
2) mastery of cooking techniques and flavors
3) projection of the chef’s personality in his cuisine
4) value for money
5) consistency – both over time and across the entire menu.
Other factors, such as place, décor, service and facilities offered, are supposedly not considered.
