Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021: Odette is No. 2, and a total of eight entries from Singapore

Odette remains the best restaurant in Singapore

Hong Kong Cantonese restaurant The Chairman cliched top spots on the annual Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list 2021, beating out last year’s winner Odette. The French fine-dining establishment by Julien Royer fell one spot to place second. Odette remains as the best restaurant in Singapore for the third year in a row.

A total of eight restaurants made it onto the annual list this year. Les Amis dropped two spots, from No.11 to No. 13; and popular grill house Burnt Ends comes in at No. 14, down nine spots from last year. Jaan by Kirk Westway fell 21 spots to place at No. 42.

Rising up the ranks is Zén, climbing five spots from No. 28 to No. 23.

The list also sees the entrance of three restaurants: Cloudstreet by chef Rishi Naleendra comes in at No. 31; Restaurant Labyrinth, also the winner of the Flor de Cana Sustainable Restaurant Award, debuts at No. 40; while Chef Jason Tan’s latest venture, Restaurant Euphoria, comes in at No. 41.

Outside of the main list, the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants has also for the first time announced the placements of restaurants ranked 51 to 100. Four local eateries were named: Meta, which was awarded the American Express One to Watch, clinched No. 60; Nouri fell out from the main list to place No. 73; Esora came in at No. 77; and Candlenut took home the No. 94 position.

Director of Content, William Drew, says in a press statement: “This year we have decided to publish the list of restaurants ranked from 51-100, created from the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants voting process, in order to recognise a greater number of venues than ever before.”
