Quick answer: Trip.Gourmet, Trip.com Group’s dining and restaurant brand, has released its 2027 Fine Dining List: 744 restaurants across 105 cities and 40 countries and regions. This list is split into three tiers: Black Diamond (60 restaurants, the highest distinction), Diamond (160) and Platinum (524). Singapore placed 27 restaurants across all three tiers: 3 Black Diamond (Odette, Les Amis, Restaurant Labyrinth), 8 Diamond and 16 Platinum. Below is a list of restaurants on the list, the ranking system and where Singapore’s restaurants land.

What Is Trip.Gourmet Fine Dining List?

Trip.Gourmet is the restaurant and dining division of Trip.com Group, the travel company behind Trip.com, Skyscanner and Ctrip. 

It publishes its restaurant rankings as “Trip.Best” toplists on Trip.com. The Fine Dining List, now in its 10th year, has grown from a single-market ranking into a global index that now spans 66 countries and regions and 462 destinations cumulatively since its 2016 debut. 

The 2027 edition covers eateries from over 40 countries and regions and 105 cities. 

It’s a separate, unrelated body from the MICHELIN Guide 2026 or Asia’s 50 Best, with its own ranking logic.

The Trip.Gourment Rating System 

Restaurants on the Trip.Gourmet Fine Dining List are sorted into three categories: Platinum, Diamond and Black Diamond.

The three tiers sit in a hierarchy:

TierWhat it means2027 global count
Black DiamondThe highest distinction. Trip.Gourmet’s most exclusive fine-dining recognition. Worth a trip there.60 restaurants
DiamondHighly-rated with exceptional reputation in the industry.160 restaurants
PlatinumThe entry tier into Trip.Gourmet’s Fine Dining category, not to be missed. 524 restaurants

Trip.Gourmet’s tiers are not arbitrary labels. According to Trip.com Group’s own description of the system, restaurants are scored using a set of weighted factors, including:

These user data points are also combined with the evaluation by a group of Trip.Gourmet culinary industry experts. This “expert-user” dual-track review system helps create a fair and balanced score. 

Restaurants can enter or be promoted within tiers, keeping the list dynamic and exciting with new entries across the world!

Black Diamond Restaurants

Black Diamond is Trip.Gourmet’s top tier globally, with 60 restaurants recognised in the 2027 list. 

Given Asia-Pacific alone accounts for 32 of them, this remains a heavily Asia-weighted tier, though Europe (anchored by Paris and London) and the Americas (led by New York) are both represented.
