2016 has been quite the year for most of us and I’m sure I’m not alone in welcoming December with open arms. A brand new year beckons and what better way to celebrate than going all out this festive season. Two words: Treat. Yourself.
With a slew of Michelin-starred and Celebrity Chef restaurants, I can’t think of a better place to shell out for a dining experience to remember than at Resorts World Sentosa.
Here are 4 Michelin-starred restaurants at Resorts World Sentosa featuring special festive menus this year:
1. Joël Robuchon Restaurant (Three Michelin Stars)
Imagine celebrating at the only three Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore – now that would be a December to remember. The famous Joël Robuchon Restaurant needs no introduction, guaranteed to wow you and your loved ones with French haute cuisine.

Make a reservation at CURATE for set dinners created by four Michelin chefs or perhaps have an Italian dining experience like no other with Fratelli‘s Christmas and New Year offerings. I have yet to meet someone who can say no to Japanese cuisine and Syun will be right up your street, with gourmet specials conceptualized by Celebrity Chef Hal Yamashita.

Reserving a table at Feng Shui Inn for you and your loved ones would mean a celebration of the most luxurious ingredients of the West, used in Cantonese style cuisine.
