Best French in Singapore (2026)
French food has a particular stronghold in Singapore — the 2026 guide's three-star tier sits squarely in this list, and these eight rooms show why. Odette and Les Amis both hold three stars, the city's twin summits: modern French tasting menus executed at a level that draws diners from across the region. The 2026 guide added a headline act in 1887 by André, which debuted straight at two stars — a major arrival by any measure. Behind them, Jag, Lerouy, Ma Cuisine, Saint Pierre, and Whitegrass complete a bench covering the full French spectrum, from grand hotel dining rooms to chef-driven bistros. This is celebration dining: tasting menus, serious wine lists, and service that anticipates rather than reacts. Expect the three-star rooms to command the city's highest prices; lunch menus at the smaller rooms are the classic way in. The through-line is rigour — French technique applied to Southeast Asian produce, classical sauces, and a dining culture that treats the meal as the evening's main event. Book well ahead, dress the part, and let the sommelier take the wheel.
