Save the date, foodies! The MICHELIN Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu 2027 restaurant selection is set to be revealed at the MICHELIN Guide Restaurant Ceremony on Thursday, 29 October 2026 at the Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, the MICHELIN Guide returns to the Philippines for a second year, continuing to shine a spotlight on the country’s rich culinary heritage, warm hospitality, and dynamic new generation of talent.
This year’s ceremony also carries added historical significance, falling within the year the global gastronomy community commemorates the 100th anniversary of the MICHELIN Star. Since the introduction of the MICHELIN Star rating system in 1926, the MICHELIN Guide has continued to honor culinary mastery and recognize restaurants that deliver outstanding dining experiences.
The ceremony is also an opportunity to spotlight what each distinction represents. The MICHELIN Star, awarded as One MICHELIN Star, Two MICHELIN Stars, or Three MICHELIN Stars, recognizes the very best of culinary excellence. Bib Gourmand highlights restaurants offering good quality, good value cooking and is widely regarded as one of the MICHELIN Guide’s most popular distinctions among local diners across Asia. MICHELIN Selected restaurants are establishments that meet the Guide’s rigorous standards and are worthy of a visit.
Every establishment included in the selection is independently assessed by anonymous MICHELIN Guide Inspectors, according to the five universal criteria:
- The quality of the ingredients
- The mastery of cooking techniques
- The harmony of flavors
- The personality of the cuisine
- The consistency both over time and across the menu
The MICHELIN Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu 2027 ceremony will bring together restaurateurs, industry leaders, official partners, and media for an exclusive invitation-only evening celebrating culinary excellence. Guests will also enjoy a curated food and beverage experience prepared by a selection of MICHELIN Guide award-winning international and local chefs.
To allow wider access to this occasion, the MICHELIN Guide Restaurant Ceremony Manila and Environs & Cebu 2027 will be live-streamed via the MICHELIN Guide Asia YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@
