  2. Rank 1. Summer Pavilion

    Cantonese Seafood

    The dining room sits inside a modern Chinese garden within The Ritz-Carlton Millenia, which makes lunch here feel vaguely like eating inside a very expensive terrarium, in the best sense. This is formal Cantonese fine dining, Michelin-starred, with hand-painted crockery and a kitchen that treats abalone as a given. The wine list and specialty tea selection are both taken seriously, which is a rare thing to say without irony.


  3. The dining room looks out over Marina Bay with the kind of view that makes first-timers forget what they ordered. This is a Cantonese fine-dining room inside the Parkroyal Collection, where the kitchen turns classic Chinese cooking toward something a little more composed and contemporary. The chef has been doing this a long time, and the plating shows it. A good pick if you want dim sum to dress up for.

  5. Cantonese fine dining inside the Crystal Jade group, which spans much of Asia, but this Orchard Road outpost is the only one in the family holding a Michelin star. The room draws local families who clearly never need the menu, and the kitchen splits its attention between contemporary Cantonese and Teochew cooking, a combination rare enough that it doubles as a reason to visit on its own.

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
