The 100 Best Places in Singapore

White-gloved service and a dedicated cheese cart signal exactly what kind of evening you're in for at this French fine dining institution tucked into Shaw Centre. Chef Sébastien Lepinoy, who spent nearly two decades with Joël Robuchon before landing here, runs a kitchen that holds three Michelin stars, a Forbes Five Star, and a spot on Asia's 50 Best list. The room is formal but never stiff, the kind of place where the truffle server knows more about truffles than you ever will.

A paper installation by artist Dawn Ng hangs from the ceiling of this three-Michelin-star modern French restaurant inside the National Gallery, which means dinner arrives with a side of actual museum energy. Chef Julien Royer grew up on a farm and cooks like it still matters, sourcing from small producers across Asia and Europe. The menu sits on a French spine with Asian inflections folded quietly through it. It holds a spot on The World's 50 Best Restaurants.

The cocktail menu here is formatted as a magazine, which tells you something about how seriously this bar takes its own mythology. Tucked inside the Amara Hotel in Tanjong Pagar, Jigger & Pony manages to feel nothing like a hotel bar, which is a quiet miracle. The focus falls on reimagined classics, done with enough precision that the place holds spots on both Asia's 50 Best Bars and The World's 50 Best Bars.

Every room is a suite, and every suite comes with a dedicated butler, which sets the tone before you've even spotted the liveried Sikh doormen at the door. This storied Singapore hotel holds a Forbes Five Star and sits at number five on the World's 50 Best Hotels list. The white neo-Renaissance building, lush gardens, rooftop pool, and Long Bar, where the Singapore Sling was invented, give guests plenty of reasons to never actually leave.

This is a counter-dining barbecue restaurant in Dempsey Hill, where Dave Pynt's open-flame technique draws a direct line from his time at Asador Etxebarri. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on the World's 50 Best list. Counter seats face the grill, keeping the heat and the theatre close.

Björn Frantzén's Singapore shophouse holds three Michelin stars and a tasting menu that moves you floor by floor, aperitif and amuse-bouche downstairs, the full neo-Nordic progression upstairs. The kitchen leans on seafood and Japanese ideas without quite belonging to either, and the non-alcoholic pairings are eccentric in a way that somehow makes you trust them more. Worth knowing the restaurant is temporarily closed before you plan around it.

Black awnings and concrete floors set the mood at Meta, a fine dining restaurant on Mohamed Sultan Road where Sun Kim's cooking is the real architecture. His menus blend French technique with Korean ingredients and Japanese influence, shaped by time in Sydney under Tetsuya Wakuda. Six and eight-course menus follow, composed and precise. Meta holds two Michelin stars and a spot on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list.

The wine cellar runs to tens of thousands of bottles, which makes sense once you know the culinary director is also a sommelier.

This Michelin-starred fine dining room takes hawker-stall nostalgia, bak kut teh and all, and rebuilds it into a theatrical set menu where the props are part of the point. The room runs dark and spare, warmed by wood and Singaporean art. It holds a spot on both Asia's and the World's 50 Best lists.

Each seasonal tasting menu at this fine dining restaurant arrives framed as an "episode," with past chapters organized around Jeju Island, a sunset walk along the Han River, and a backyard barbecue. Chef Louis Han reinterprets Korean nostalgic cooking through Western technique, so cold buckwheat noodles become haute cuisine and a buttery sauce quietly channels a spicy fish stew. It landed on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, and the intimate shophouse room, all cream and warm light, keeps the focus on the plates.

A colonial house on Scotts Road holds one of Singapore's sharper arguments for contemporary Italian cooking, and it holds a Michelin star and a spot on the 50 Top Italy world list to back that up. The dining room reads elegant without trying too hard, and the menu leans on seafood dishes where restraint is the whole point. Dry pasta shows up in several forms, which in this context feels almost defiant.

Two whitewashed colonial bungalows that once housed British military families now serve as the lobby and living room of this Forbes Five Star resort on Sentosa Island. The contrast is the whole point: swirled marble, dark walnut, and a private art collection inside buildings that spent their early life as barracks. The curved contemporary wing alongside them adds open-air ease. It's the kind of hotel where "complimentary refreshments in the guest lounge" is just how the afternoon goes.

This is a Forbes Four Star hotel where the guest rooms layer silk, lacquer, and city-bay views, and the pool terrace feels like a private respite from Singapore's relentless pace. Two restaurants, one Cantonese and one Italian, mean you rarely need a reason to leave. Service here is warm rather than stiff.

Fermented grasshoppers and laksa leaves turn up in the cocktails here, and the aprons and drinking vessels are locally sourced too, because the commitment runs that deep. Native is a Pan-Asian cocktail bar on Amoy Street where nothing on the menu is a classic and the bottles are ones you won't recognize. It ranks on both Asia's 50 Best Bars and The World's 50 Best Bars, and the zero-waste philosophy gives the whole operation a quiet coherence that makes the strange ingredients feel inevitable.

A Forbes Five Star hotel-within-a-hotel occupying the upper floors of Marina Bay Sands, where butler service and residential-scale suites come with their own reserved nest beds at the Infinity Pool.

Fura runs on a sustainability-forward philosophy, which in practice means ferments, foraged ingredients, and flavors that take a moment to place.

The glass-brick exterior glows like a relic from a different decade, and the inside keeps up, with terrazzo floors, mid-century wood, and light fittings that look lifted from a 1970s sci-fi set. Offtrack is a bar born from two local music collectives, so the DJ sets are the point, not the backdrop. It landed on Asia's 50 Best Bars, which makes sense for a room where no one ever lets the music slip into wallpaper.

The cooking is rooted in Romagna, with a la carte or a six-course tasting menu, and the pizza is taken seriously enough that the espresso after feels like a point of pride. Ranked sixth on 50 Top Italy's list of Italian restaurants worldwide, which is a long way from home.

The bread alone causes a small scene: guests are openly encouraged to ask for seconds, and the room obliges in unison. This fine dining restaurant inside the Mondrian Duxton pairs Chilean soul with Japanese technique, the work of a chef whose resume runs through El Bulli and Mugaritz. It holds a Michelin star. Flavors are surprising without being smug, and the kitchen's curiosity reads as genuine hospitality rather than theater.

The twelve cascading floors wrap around a skylit atrium that John Portman designed decades ago, and the bones still show. This Forbes Four Star hotel sits steps from the Botanic Gardens, and the floor-to-ceiling windows mean the greenery reads almost as interior decoration.

Three 57-story towers capped by a three-acre rooftop deck that looks, especially at night, like a spaceship that forgot to leave. Marina Bay Sands is a colossal integrated resort and hotel on the waterfront, the kind of place that rewrites a city's skyline and knows it. Rooms are polished and large-scale to match the architecture. Forbes Four Star. If you're going to do Singapore in style, the building alone makes the argument.

The octagonal windows punched into its white rectangular facade were the signature of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kevin Roche, and the hotel leans into that art-world identity hard, with a serious collection on the walls and chic lounges named for celebrated artists.

The daily Champagne Sabering ritual sets the tone for this Forbes Four Star luxury hotel just above Orchard Road. Rooms lean Art Deco with a botanical twist following a renovation, and the bathrooms come with standalone wood tubs and jets on both sides of the shower.

A white bubble chandelier consumes nearly half the lobby ceiling at this large luxury hotel in the City Hall district, which should tell you something about the scale of ambition here. Twelve restaurants and bars, a full-service spa, a pool, and accommodations that leave little reason to venture out, though the Raffles City mall directly below removes that excuse entirely. Singapore's mix of cultures shows up in the details if you look for them.

Two heritage buildings in Singapore's Civic District, one neoclassical and one Edwardian, were knitted together into a single 157-room hotel, and the all-white façade designed by Richard Meier stops people on Stamford Road. Inside, the restoration kept the original bones and layered in Italian marble and Travertine columns without tipping into theme-park grandeur. A quieter, more architecturally considered address than the tower hotels nearby.

1. Forbes Travel Guide Forbes Recommended

The 120-foot atrium lobby alone justifies pausing before you check in. This grand heritage hotel occupies a former civic building right on the Singapore River, close enough to the F1 night circuit that you can almost hear the engines from the courtyard. Afternoon tea and cocktail meetings fill the atrium daily, and the doormen maintain a certain theatrical gravity that the building has clearly always expected of everyone inside.

A cocktail bar tucked on a quiet street, 28 HongKong Street took its cues from early-2000s New York and spent years building its reputation entirely through word of mouth. The room runs to dim lighting, secluded booths, and hip-hop on the speakers.

The tower itself looks like a plant decided to become a building: terraces and sky gardens are threaded into the structure on the old site of a garden mansion just off Orchard Road. This 142-room hotel leans into that green premise throughout, from Peranakan-inspired art and high-ceilinged rooms with private balconies to a wellness floor with yoga pavilions. The rooftop infinity pool has a partially transparent base, which is either thrilling or a reason to stay on dry land.

Barrels of cocktails aging under a solera system for seven years sit at the end of the bar, which tells you immediately what kind of operation this is. D.Bespoke is a Japanese cocktail bar on Bukit Pasoh Road that runs on ritual and precision, all deep armchairs and the quiet confidence of a Ginza establishment that took a wrong turn and ended up somewhere better.

Look for the iron hand on the shophouse door, then climb three flights to find one of Duxton Hill's more characterful cocktail bars. The team built most of it themselves from salvaged and upcycled objects, and the sparse back bar lands somewhere between a friend's apartment and a very cool squat.

A good pick for travelers who find "resort casual" a little too quiet.

Peanut shells still litter the floor by design, a nod to the colonial-era habit the Long Bar has kept alive across its many renovations. This is the cocktail bar where the Singapore Sling was born, and the drink is still made here, for better or worse, by the thousands.
