THE Philippines has officially joined the global fine dining map as the inaugural Michelin Guide Philippines 2026 recognized 108 establishments nationwide, marking the country’s first-ever inclusion in the prestigious culinary list.
The announcement was made during the Michelin Guide Ceremony held Thursday night, October 30, 2025, at the Marriott Manila Hotel, gathering top chefs, restaurateurs, media, and culinary leaders from around the world.
Leading the honorees is Helm, which earned the distinction of being the sole two-Michelin-star restaurant in the Philippines.
Eight restaurants—Asador Alfonso, Celera, Gallery by Chele, Hapag, Inato, Kasa Palma, Linamnam, and Toyo Eatery—were awarded one Michelin star for their exceptional cooking and distinctive culinary identity.
The Bib Gourmand category recognized 25 restaurants that serve exceptionally good food at reasonable prices, including Cebu’s CUR8, Abaseria Deli & Café, and The Pig & Palm.
Meanwhile, 74 establishments were named under the Michelin Selected category for offering quality food and a noteworthy dining experience.
Selections for the guide are made independently by Michelin inspectors, who evaluate restaurants based on five criteria: quality of ingredients, mastery of techniques, harmony of flavors, the chef’s personality expressed through the cuisine, and consistency.
The Michelin Guide entered the Philippines in February 2025 to prepare for its 2026 edition, beginning with a list of six hotels before expanding its recommendations to 20 nationwide.
