JAAN by Kirk Westaway has retained its Two MICHELIN Stars in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026 for a sixth consecutive year, reaffirming its position among the world’s most exceptional dining establishments.
The announcement was made yesterday evening at a ceremony held at Raffles Sentosa Singapore, as the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026 was unveiled. Marking the Guide’s tenth edition in Singapore, JAAN was one of just nine restaurants awarded Two MICHELIN Stars in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026.
Few restaurants are as closely woven into the story of the MICHELIN Guide Singapore as JAAN. Awarded its first MICHELIN Star in the Guide’s inaugural 2016 edition, Chef Kirk set about reinventing Modern British cuisine in 2018, officially unveiling his new concept, and went on to secure a second MICHELIN Star in 2021. This year’s confirmation of JAAN retaining its Two MICHELIN Stars, in Chef Kirk’s eleventh year at the helm and the Guide’s milestone tenth year, underscores a rare consistency at the highest level of global dining.
Under Chef Kirk’s leadership, JAAN has continually evolved, driven by uncompromising attention to every detail: hand selecting the world’s finest produce, refining service rituals, and introducing intentional touches such as bespoke crockery, parting gifts and curated playlists. Whether it’s Head Sommelier Bella Jankaew recommending a perfect pairing or Head Chef Ng Guo Lun presenting the palate cleanser tableside, the entire team’s dedication ensures an unparalleled dining experience.
“JAAN has been part of the MICHELIN Guide Singapore story since its very first edition, so to hold Two MICHELIN Stars in the Guide’s tenth year feels especially meaningful. This recognition never loses its shine. It belongs to every member of our team, whose care and craft show up in every plate, every pairing and every welcome,” shared Executive Chef Kirk Westaway.
He adds, “This award is not just for JAAN, but for everyone who has believed in our vision and shared in our journey. To see Modern British cuisine celebrated on the global stage, year after year, is something I will never take for granted. We are truly grateful to be part of such a generous and engaged community.”
Chef Kirk Westaway’s Modern British philosophy is rooted in a seasonally evolving menu which celebrates the pinnacle of fresh produce, offering refined, elegant and vegetable forward dishes. Accompanied by an award winning wine list boasting over 700 labels, JAAN by Kirk Westaway delivers impeccable world class service, treating guests to a breathtaking view of the iconic Singapore skyline from its exclusive location on the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford.
