MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2021: 3 Restaurants in Singapore Receive Three MICHELIN Stars
The MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2021 star revelation was streamed live on 1 September 2021.
After taking a break last year due to Covid-19, the MICHELIN Guide is back this year! Shining a light on the hard work and tenacity of all those in the F&B industry in Singapore, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides, Gwendal Poullenne, observed how the chefs and their teams were able to reinvent and adapt to the unfolding situation. On top of managing their restaurants, they also came together in looking out for those who were in need in their communities; from feeding migrant workers and frontline workers, to setting up welfare funds for displaced F&B staff.
This year, the MICHELIN Guide Singapore highlights the future of gastronomy in Singapore's colourful and vibrant dining scene.
