27 restaurants recognised across all three tiers
Trip.Gourmet marked its 10th anniversary in Singapore on 8 September 2026 with the global launch of its 2027 Fine Dining List at Resorts World Sentosa. The annual list recognises restaurants worth building a journey around, reflecting the growing role food plays in how travellers choose and experience a destination.
This year’s list is its most global yet, covering 744 restaurants across 40 countries and regions. The restaurants are recognised across three tiers: 60 Black Diamond restaurants, 160 Diamond restaurants and 524 Platinum restaurants.
Singapore Among the 2027 Highlights
As the host city for this year’s launch, Singapore also had a strong showing with 27 restaurants on the list — three Black Diamond, eight Diamond and 16 Platinum.
At the highest Black Diamond tier, Singapore is represented by Les Amis, Odette and Restaurant Labyrinth. The Diamond list includes restaurants such as Zén, JAAN by Kirk Westaway and Summer Pavilion, highlighting the breadth of Singapore’s fine-dining scene across different cuisines and styles.
Across the wider list, Asia-Pacific remains a major centre for fine dining, accounting for 478 restaurants across 51 cities — nearly two-thirds of all restaurants recognised globally.
From Restaurant List to Travel Experience
Alongside the 2027 list, Trip.Gourmet introduced new features aimed at making food discovery easier to turn into an actual dining experience. Its global table-booking network now covers more than 43,600 restaurants worldwide, with many available for direct booking.
Trip.Gourmet also launched WOW Privileges, an exclusive programme for Trip.com Group Black Diamond members, designed to give members access to limited seats at selected hard-to-book restaurants, with benefits that may include priority seating, chef greetings and limited-edition menus.
When Food Becomes Part of the Destination
The launch comes as food continues to play a bigger role in travel planning. According to Trip.com Group, food-related searches rose 45% over the first eight months of 2026, while searches specifically for restaurants increased 68%. Searches for local specialities grew even faster, suggesting that travellers are increasingly looking beyond sightseeing to decide what — and where — to eat as part of the trip itself.
For diners in Singapore, the 2027 Fine Dining List offers a useful snapshot of local restaurants recognised on the global stage, while also providing plenty of inspiration for the next food-led holiday.
