The Complete List: Michelin Guide Philippines

The arrival of Michelin in the Philippines is more than a milestone—it’s a celebration of the creativity, skill, and passion of Filipino restaurants and chefs. As Philippine restaurants stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world, our dining tables are recognized as destinations worth traveling for. For Filipino food lovers, this is indeed a magical moment to savor, and one that certainly signifies the country’s culinary rise on the global gastronomic stage.

Earlier this evening, the Philippine culinary scene shimmered as it welcomed the debut of the Michelin Guide for Manila and Environs, and Cebu. The grand ballroom of the Marriott Hotel at Resorts World Manila, where the awarding ceremony took place, was alive with camaraderie and celebration as chefs, restaurateurs, lifestyle personalities, and members of the local and international media gathered to witness the Philippines take its rightful place on the world’s culinary map.

Department of Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco noted, “We are revealing that our greatest treasure is our people: their creativity, warmth, and generosity of spirit. In the Philippines, food and hospitality are our way of life; the Filipino table has always been a place of welcome and belonging, for flavors tell the story of who we are, rooted in indigenous traditions, enriched by the produce from our islands and shaped by centuries of cultural exchange.”

She continued, “The arrival of the Michelin Guide affirms that excellence thrives across our islands.”

As International Director of The Michelin Guide, Gwendal Poullennec, said in his opening remarks, inspectors selected over 100 restaurants in Manila and Cebu across their distinctions.

Following the award ceremony, guests were treated to a cocktail reception where chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, and from the newly recognized Filipino Michelin establishments, showcased their craft in bite-sized perfection. Among them were Tim Flores and Genie Kwon of Kasama in Chicago, Vicky Cheng of Wing and VEA in Hong Kong, Guillaume Galliot of Caprice in Hong Kong, and Darren Teoh of Dewakan in Malaysia. Their presence at the occasion brought a genuine sense of shared passion as chefs gathered not just to impress, but to connect over a universal love of food.
