Get ready, because Asia’s biggest gastronomic awards event is set to make its comeback soon. The live ceremony of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025 will return to Seoul, South Korea, on March 25. But ahead of the grand reveal, an extended 51 to 100 list is first released as a teaser of sorts. Here are the restaurants in Singapore named among the 100 best in the region:
- Born at #54
- Thevar at #70
- Cloudstreet at #74
- Jaan by Kirk Westaway at #77
- Zén at #79
- Summer Pavilion at #95
This year sees six Singapore restaurants on the extended list, two short of eight from last year. Here’s the good news – two establishments climb a couple of spots: modern Indian restaurant Thevar moves up two places from #72 to #70, while two-Michelin-starred Cloudstreet now sits at #74 compared to #82 last year.
On the other hand, several restaurants have dropped further down the list. French-Chinese restaurant Born which sat at #25 on the rankings last year is now at #54, while Jaan by Kirk Westaway which was #53 in 2024’s results is now #77 on the list. Other affected restaurants include three-Michelin-starred Zén (#79 this year compared to #57 last year), as well as Chinese restaurant Summer Pavilion (#95 now compared to #75 in 2024).
Three restaurants on last year’s 51 to 100 list are also notably absent this year – Korean fine-dining restaurant Naeum, Peach Blossoms, and Mustard Seed. See them as ‘wildcards’ of sorts, as their absence from the extended list means they’ve either fallen off completely, or made it into the top 50 ranking. Either way, all eyes will be on the final reveal on March 25.
Watch this space for updates on which restaurants will place among the region’s 50 best, and if fine-dining heavyweight Odette – which made it into the top 10 last year at #10 – will still make the cut this year. A live broadcast of the ceremony will be screened on the 50 Best Restaurants Youtube channel and Facebook page.
In the meantime, check out the full 51 to 100 list here.
