As plans for the Circuit Breaker’s Phase 1 of safe re-opening have just been announced, we now know that it’s unlikely for restaurants and other dining establishments to reopen anytime soon. The F&B industry heavily relies on a constant revenue stream – and supporting the businesses you love, including well-established Michelin-star restaurants, is the best way to help them stay open.
These restaurants rely heavily on fresh, seasonal ingredients that have a limited shelf life. Many cure, brine or age components for their dishes in-house, which also have to be consumed at an exact time. After all, it is this commitment to quality that got these restaurants their Michelin stars in the first place.
These Michelin stars are awarded to restaurants with exceptional service, ambience and cuisine – though don’t take our word (or a French tyre company’s) for it. Get delivery or takeaway from one of these Michelin-starred restaurants and see how these feted establishments can work wonders, even when silverware and fine china are swapped for to-go boxes.
We’ve also covered the one-Michelin-star Burnt Ends and Alma by Juan Amador previously, who are now serving the perennial takeaway favourite, burgers, as part of their circuit breaker menus.

Serving up modern French cuisine at an industrial-chic 26 seater, chef Christophe Lerouy boasts an impressive resume. His early career includes apprenticeships at Michelin-starred establishments Le Pavilon Ledoyen and Le Grand Vefour. After travelling the world, he settled in Singapore, eventually taking up the role of Chef de Cuisine at Alma by Juan Amador, where he helped earn its Michelin star. Just last year, Lerouy’s own restaurant also received the accolade. During the circuit breaker period, his takeaway and delivery menu centres around the flammkuchen (something like a flatbread topped with cheese and meat of French-German origin). His menu features recipes inspired by his mother’s take on his hometown specialty – as well as a litany of classic French morsels and mains to accompany the hearty flatbread.

Chef Aitor Jeronimo Orive’s family roots are tied to Basque Country, though the man himself has worked in kitchens all over the world. He’s come into his own at Basque Kitchen by Aitor, earning his Michelin star last year and cementing himself in Singapore’s culinary scene. For takeaway and delivery, you can get, what else, but food heavily inspired by the region’s rich culinary heritage. From a platter of pintxos (Basque-style tapas), to a selection of meats done in the style of the area (think low-and-slow until falling off the bone), Basque Kitchen by Aitor offers up a selection of homely delights that’ll do well for any home delivery soiree. Don’t forget a slice of their burnt Basque cheesecake that has been making its rounds on social media.

Chef Malcolm Lee led the restaurant to becoming the first Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant in 2016. Describing his restaurant’s cuisine as contemporary yet authentic, he adds shrewd twists to time-honoured dishes to make them his own – take his signature buah keluak fried rice for example, which uses the earthy, intensely-flavoured nut to create a luxuriantly off-beat take on fried rice that just works. Of course, you can expect a slew of other Peranakan favourites like chap chye, beef rendang or babi pongteh. Just remember to get some of their classic kueh as well to last you the next couple of days.

Headed by chef Sebastien Lepinoy, Les Amis has been serving haute French cuisine, accompanied with a stunning wine list, since 1994. It finally received its third Michelin star in 2019. Amid Singapore’s circuit breaker measures, it has pivoted to serve its signature cold, umami-rich angel hair pasta adorned with kombu, caviar and black truffle. Expect other classic fare like the decadent French onion soup topped with broiled gruyere and sourdough, as well as sharing meat platters of chicken or lamb.

Singapore’s only other three-star Michelin establishment, Odette, also serves haute French fare brought to you by the renowned chef Julien Royer. Like Les Amis, the restaurant has reimagined its elegant menu for the home, curating a mix of signature and seasonal dishes that manage to bring the feted flair of Odette to the home. Expect delights including blue lobster and kinki bouillabaisse, confit leg of pigeon and milk-fed axuria lamb. You could even opt to get Odette for breakfast: start your day off with a selection of freshly-baked pastries, accompanied by some of the finest spreads from Europe including the delightfully creamy Beillevaire butter. Do note that this requires a pre-order the day before.
