Heads up, Philippine gourmands!
The Philippines will now join the ranks of the world’s most celebrated culinary guide as the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Manila and Environs & Cebu is set to happen on Oct. 30, 2025, at the Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts.
For the first time, the MICHELIN Guide will unveil its official restaurant selection for Manila, its nearby provinces, and Cebu — highlighting the country’s rich culinary identity, diverse traditions, and exceptional talents.
The exclusive one-night ceremony will feature the official reveal of the MICHELIN Guide Selected Restaurants, Bib Gourmand list, MICHELIN Stars, and MICHELIN GUIDE Special Awards, accompanied by a welcome reception, the highly anticipated awards presentation, and a celebratory cocktail reception curated by renowned international and local chefs.
