Short answer: on 3 October 2026 we searched the official MUIS halal directory for every restaurant in this guide. No establishment with "omakase" in its name was listed, and none of the Michelin-starred restaurants that often appear on "halal fine dining" lists was listed either.
Singapore does have MUIS-certified places for a special night out, such as Permata at Gedung Kuning, Elfuego at Jewel, Charr'd, Gyusei Gyukatsu and several hotel buffets. The famous tasting-menu rooms are a different group: some say their meat is halal-sourced, some simply are not in the directory, and one serves pork. This guide sorts every name into the right group so you can decide for yourself.
Search results and AI assistants mix these groups up all the time. When we asked four AI assistants the same question on 3 October 2026, they gave different answers for the same restaurants, and one of them called a restaurant MUIS-certified when the MUIS directory did not list it.
So every status below comes from one place: the halal directory run by MUIS, checked on 3 October 2026.
For everyday halal dining rather than special occasions, see our wider guide. Michelin details come from the MICHELIN Guide Singapore website. Opening hours and prices change too often to print, so we left them out. Please check them with the restaurant before you book.
Key takeaways
- MUIS-listed choices for a celebration include Permata (Gedung Kuning), Elfuego by COLLIN'S (Jewel Changi Airport), Charr'd and Gyusei Gyukatsu Wagyu-Steakhouse, plus hotel buffets such as StraitsKitchen, Carousel, Peppermint, Ginger and Asian Market Cafe.
- Seroja (2 Michelin Stars), Restaurant Fiz (MICHELIN Selected) and Ammakase (an Indian omakase-style tasting menu) did not appear when we searched the MUIS directory on 3 October 2026.
- Candlenut (1 Michelin Star) serves pork. It doesn't belong on any halal list.
- Two places that used to appear in guides like this have closed: The Halia (mid-March 2026) and Tomahawk King (final service 20 September 2026).
Understanding Halal Certification in Singapore
The Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) is Singapore's official halal certifying authority and has issued halal certificates since 1978, according to MUIS's own page, which also notes that certification is voluntary. Certificates are issued per premises, not per brand, so one outlet of a chain can be certified while another is not. When you read a halal food list, you will usually meet three labels:
- MUIS certified: the premises holds a MUIS halal certificate. You can confirm it yourself in the MUIS halal directory by searching the restaurant's name.
- Muslim-owned: the owners are Muslim. This describes who runs the business. It is not a certificate, and the directory will not show it.
- No pork, no lard, or "Muslim-friendly": the restaurant says certain ingredients are not used. Some of these places serve alcohol. Whether that is acceptable is a personal decision, and many diners ask the restaurant directly before booking.
In the tables below, "MUIS-listed" means the name appeared in the MUIS directory when we searched on 3 October 2026. "Not listed" means it did not. "Not listed" is not a ruling on anyone's kitchen. Certification is voluntary, a business may be registered under a company name we did not search, and a certificate can be issued after our check.
Those labels matter just as much when you are the host rather than the guest. Catering is certified under a different MUIS scheme from restaurants, so a restaurant certificate does not cover the kitchen cooking for your event. Saffrons holds five MUIS halal certificates, one for each of its three restaurants, one for its Tampines North kitchen and one under MUIS's catering scheme for its Kaki Bukit kitchen (checked on the MUIS register, October 2026). See the halal catering packages, or send your date and headcount on WhatsApp.
Is There Halal Omakase in Singapore in 2026?
"Halal omakase Singapore" is one of the most searched phrases in this topic, so we checked it on its own. We typed "omakase" into the MUIS directory search on 3 October 2026, and nothing came back. Here is what we found for the names people search most:
- Elfuego by COLLIN'S, Jewel Changi Airport #05-203: MUIS-listed (search "El Fuego", with a space, in the directory). Elfuego ran an eight-course halal omakase menu from 22 March to 21 April 2023, as Eatbook reported on 16 March 2023. That was a limited menu. Elfuego's current listing on the Jewel website describes a European restaurant and does not mention omakase.
- Ammakase, One Raffles Place #04-48: the MICHELIN Guide describes it as a 6- to 10-course omakase-style Indian tasting menu, paired with Indian-inspired cocktails. The MUIS directory returned no match for it on 3 October 2026.
- Gyusei Gyukatsu Wagyu-Steakhouse, 775 North Bridge Road (Hotel Clover): MUIS-listed. It is a Japanese wagyu gyukatsu restaurant, not a sushi counter, but it is the closest certified match for diners who want premium Japanese beef.
- Charr'd, 324F Changi Road: MUIS-listed. An A5 wagyu steakhouse rather than an omakase counter.
If a website or an AI answer calls a sushi omakase in Singapore "halal-certified", search the name in the MUIS directory before you pay a deposit. It'll take you less than a minute.
Are Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Singapore Halal?
These are the names that most often appear on "halal Michelin" lists. Here is what the MICHELIN Guide Singapore and the MUIS directory showed on 3 October 2026.
Seroja: 2 Michelin Stars, Not MUIS-Listed
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | Duo Galleria, #01-30/31/32/33, 7 Fraser Street, Singapore 189356 |
| Cuisine | Malaysian, contemporary |
| MICHELIN Guide 2026 | 2 Michelin Stars, plus a Green Star |
| MUIS directory (3 Oct 2026) | Not listed |
| Restaurant's own statement | "Our food menu does not contain pork or alcohol and our meat are sourced from halal sources." (Seroja reservations page) |
Older guides, including an earlier version of this one, gave Seroja one star. The 2026 MICHELIN Guide lists two. The Michelin page also mentions food and wine pairings, so ask the restaurant about alcohol on the premises if that matters to you.
Restaurant Fiz: MICHELIN Selected, Not MUIS-Listed
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | #01-01/02, 21 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088444 |
| Cuisine | Malaysian, contemporary |
| MICHELIN Guide | Selected |
| MUIS directory (3 Oct 2026) | Not listed |
| Drinks | The Michelin listing mentions house cocktails, wine-food pairings and an "interesting wine list" |
Owner-chef Hafizzul Hashim opened Fiz to honour his native food culture, according to the MICHELIN Guide. An earlier version of this guide called Fiz MUIS certified. The MUIS directory did not list it on 3 October 2026, so we have corrected that.
Ammakase: MICHELIN Selected, Not MUIS-Listed
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | #04-48, One Raffles Place, Singapore 048616 |
| Cuisine | Indian, 6- to 10-course omakase-style tasting menu |
| MICHELIN Guide | Selected |
| MUIS directory (3 Oct 2026) | Not listed |
| Drinks | Paired with Indian-inspired cocktails, according to the MICHELIN Guide |
Candlenut: 1 Michelin Star, Serves Pork
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | 17A Dempsey Road, Singapore 249676 |
| Cuisine | Peranakan |
| MICHELIN Guide | 1 Michelin Star |
| MUIS directory (3 Oct 2026) | Not listed |
| Halal status | Not halal. Its menu includes Aunt Caroline's Babi Buah Keluak, a pork dish |
Candlenut still appears on some "halal Michelin" lists online. It serves pork, so we have kept it here only as a warning.
Michelin Bib Gourmand & Halal Restaurants
The Bib Gourmand is Michelin's award for good food at moderate prices. The 2026 list for Singapore has 97 names. These are the ones most often described as halal:
| Restaurant | Michelin 2026 | MUIS directory (3 Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Bismillah Biryani (Little India) | Bib Gourmand, retained in all 10 editions | Not listed |
| True Blue Cuisine | Bib Gourmand, retained in all 10 editions | Not listed |
| Hjh Maimunah | Not in the 2026 Bib Gourmand list (Eatbook, 28 July 2026) | MUIS-listed: 11 Jalan Pisang, 20 Joo Chiat Road, 16 Raffles Quay and other outlets |
Two lessons from this table.
A Bib Gourmand says nothing about halal status, and a halal certificate says nothing about Michelin. Check each one separately. Earlier versions of this guide also listed "Michelin Plate" picks. We could not confirm those against the current Michelin website, so we removed the label.
Complete Halal Fine Dining Directory by Area
This directory keeps every place from our earlier guide that is still open, with its MUIS directory result from 3 October 2026. Addresses are shown for MUIS-listed premises exactly as the directory gives them. For places that were not listed, we show the area only, because we could not confirm the address from an official source.

Which Halal Hotel Buffets Are MUIS-Listed?

|---|---|---|
| StraitsKitchen | Grand Hyatt Singapore, 10 Scotts Road | MUIS-listed (each section) |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best halal fine dining restaurant in Singapore?
It depends on what "halal" means to you. If you want a MUIS certificate, the strongest special-occasion choices on 3 October 2026 were Permata at Gedung Kuning, Elfuego by COLLIN'S at Jewel, Charr'd and Gyusei Gyukatsu for wagyu, and the hotel buffets listed above. If a restaurant's own no-pork or halal-sourcing statement is enough for you, Seroja publishes one on its website. Explore more options in our Halal Food Near Me Singapore guide.
Are there any Michelin-starred halal restaurants in Singapore?
We didn't find one. Seroja (2 Michelin Stars) says its food menu has no pork or alcohol and its meat comes from halal sources, but the MUIS directory did not show it when we searched on 3 October 2026, and Michelin mentions wine pairings. Candlenut (1 Michelin Star) serves pork. Restaurant Fiz and Ammakase are MICHELIN Selected, not starred, and neither was MUIS-listed when we checked.
What is the average price for halal fine dining in Singapore?
We no longer print price ranges, because menus and set prices change and an old figure can mislead you. As a rough guide, the MICHELIN Guide marks Seroja, Restaurant Fiz and Ammakase as "$$$" and Candlenut as "$$". Most restaurants show prices with "++", which means a service charge and GST are added to the menu price. Check the restaurant's own booking page for today's price.
Where is the best area for halal food in Singapore?
For a full area-by-area list of certified places, see our MUIS halal restaurants by area guide. Kampong Glam and Arab Street have the most halal restaurants close together, although many there are Muslim-owned rather than certified. Orchard Road and Scotts Road have the certified hotel buffets, and Changi Road has the certified wagyu steakhouses. See the area tables above, or the Best Halal Food Singapore guide for everyday options.
Do I need reservations for halal fine dining restaurants?
Yes, for tasting-menu restaurants and for hotel buffets on weekends and public holidays. Tasting-menu rooms usually take bookings online through their own websites. When you book, it is a good moment to ask anything that matters to you, such as whether alcohol is served on the premises.
What time should I book for halal hotel buffets?
Book as early as you can for weekend dinners and festive dates, especially Hari Raya and year-end. Each hotel sets its own lunch and dinner sessions, so check the session times on its booking page.
Are there halal options at Marina Bay Sands?
Yes. On 3 October 2026 the MUIS directory listed Ali's Grill Signature (stall 10) and Pondok Nasi Padang (stall 7) at Rasapura Masters food court in Marina Bay Sands. For a sit-down buffet nearby, Peppermint at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay was MUIS-listed.
Can I find halal fine dining near tourist attractions?
Yes. Near Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay: Peppermint and Sofra at Marina Square. Near Orchard Road: StraitsKitchen, Carousel and Tambuah Mas.
Near Sultan Mosque: Permata at Gedung Kuning and Hjh Maimunah at Jalan Pisang. At Jewel Changi Airport: Elfuego by COLLIN'S and Tambuah Mas. On Sentosa: WEWA at Resorts World Sentosa. All of these were MUIS-listed on 3 October 2026.
What halal restaurants are open 24/7?
Two of Saffrons' three outlets, Tampines and Swan Lake, are open 24 hours, as shown on the Saffrons outlets page, and all three Saffrons restaurants are MUIS-listed. Find all three on the Saffrons website.
Do halal restaurants serve alcohol?
Some restaurants that appear on halal lists do. The MICHELIN Guide mentions wine pairings at Seroja and Restaurant Fiz and cocktails at Ammakase, none of which was MUIS-listed when we checked. If alcohol on the premises matters to you, choose a MUIS-listed place or ask the restaurant before booking.
What is the difference between MUIS certified and Muslim-owned?
MUIS certified means the premises holds a halal certificate from MUIS, and you can find it in the MUIS halal directory. Muslim-owned describes who owns the business. It is not a certificate, and a Muslim-owned restaurant may or may not be certified.
Many diners are comfortable with Muslim-owned restaurants and many prefer a certificate. That choice is yours, and it's a personal one.
Are there halal options for dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free)?
Ask when you book. Tasting menus are hard to change on the day, and some kitchens cannot adapt their dishes at all. Seroja, for example, says on its own website that it is unable to cater to vegan, gluten-free and similar menus. A vegetarian menu is not automatically halal, so check the MUIS directory as well.
How do I verify if a restaurant is truly halal?
- Search the restaurant's name in the MUIS halal directory. Check that the address matches the outlet you are visiting, because certificates are issued per premises.
- Look for the MUIS certificate displayed at the premises.
- If a place calls itself Muslim-owned or "no pork, no lard", ask the staff directly about anything that matters to you, such as alcohol.
What are the best halal restaurants for special occasions?
- Family celebration: StraitsKitchen, Carousel, Peppermint or Permata (all MUIS-listed)
- Steak night: Charr'd or Gyusei Gyukatsu (both MUIS-listed)
- Airport or Jewel outing: Elfuego by COLLIN'S or Tambuah Mas at Jewel (both MUIS-listed)
- Tasting menu: Seroja, Restaurant Fiz or Ammakase are not MUIS-listed, so read the sections above first
- A celebration at home or in a hall: Saffrons halal catering, cooked in a MUIS-certified catering kitchen
Is tipping expected at halal fine dining restaurants in Singapore?
No, tipping is not customary in Singapore. Restaurants that show "++" prices add a service charge and GST to the bill.
Conclusion
Singapore has good certified choices for a special meal, but they are not the famous tasting-menu rooms. On 3 October 2026, the certified options were hotel buffets, Permata, Elfuego at Jewel and the Charr'd and Gyusei wagyu restaurants. The Michelin-starred rooms on most "halal" lists were not in the MUIS directory, and one of them serves pork.
None of this makes a restaurant good or bad. It simply means you should know which kind of "halal" you are booking.
We will re-check this guide against the MUIS directory and the MICHELIN Guide. If you spot a change, such as a new certificate or a closure, tell us on WhatsApp. For more halal dining guides, visit the Saffrons Blog.
