Alma

With an executive chef on board since 2023, Alma now offers two tasting menus at lunch and dinner, featuring well-crafted European dishes strewn with Asian accents. The menus change every three months to keep pace with premium seasonal produce. The venison course is especially impressive depicted by spot-on cooking, juicy meat, fine texture and robust flavour. Whisky lovers should check out the cellar rich in rarities.

Closing After Retaining a Michelin Star

• Alma by Juan Amador announced it will close on Aug 15, 2025, despite retaining its one Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Singapore 2025. This underscores that earning a Michelin star does not guarantee long-term viability in Singapore’s competitive F&B scene. (Sources: CNA, 8days)

Leadership Change and Asian-Influenced Revamp

• In 2023, executive chef and GM Yew Eng Tong took over and steered Alma toward a menu that blends modern European cooking with Asian accents, a shift from its earlier French-centric concept. This evolution helped keep the restaurant at the Michelin level even as market pressures persisted. (Sources: Straits Times, 8days)

Longstanding Michelin Presence in a Hotel Setting (Opened 2015)

• Alma opened in 2015 in Goodwood Park Hotel and has been a Michelin-starred venue since 2016, marking it as a long-running fine-dining star housed within a historic hotel setting. (Sources: Straits Times, CNA/8days)
