Michelin Guide Manila 2026: The Starred and Bib Gourmand Restaurants
The inaugural MICHELIN Guide Manila and Environs 2026 list by star and Bib Gourmand, with Plateful pages for matched restaurants and cited sources.
Quick answer: The inaugural MICHELIN Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu 2026 was announced on October 30, 2025. In Manila and its environs it lists one two-star restaurant, Helm, eight one-star restaurants, and 19 Bib Gourmand restaurants. Plateful has records for 11 of those 28, and each one is linked below. Helm is the only two-star restaurant in the guide.
The guide covers 108 establishments across Manila and Cebu. Those include 74 MICHELIN Selected restaurants, and Cebu has six of the 25 Bib Gourmand picks. The distinctions below are as the guide publishes them, with the area the guide gives for each restaurant. Plateful's price bands are its own indicators, not Michelin's ratings.

Where the 28 venues sit
By the guide's own area labels, Makati has 15 of the 28 venues: six starred and nine Bib Gourmand. Taguig has six, including Gallery by Chele, the one-star that also holds the Green Star. Quezon City has three Bib Gourmand picks, and Manila, Cavite, and Parañaque have one or two each. Three of the linked Plateful pages are BGC branches, which sit in Taguig.
How to use this list
- Check the guide before you book. Distinctions change with each edition, so the guide's own page is the final word.
- A missing link is not a judgment. No link means Plateful has no record for that restaurant in the data checked on October 9, 2026.
- Areas follow the guide. Lampara is listed as Makati by the guide and as Poblacion by Plateful, and both are in Makati. The BGC records for Bolero, COCHI, and Em Hà Nội sit in Taguig, which is where the guide places them.
- Plan by area. Most of the linked Plateful pages sit in Makati. Asador Alfonso in Cavite and Linamnam in Parañaque are farther out.
- Read the price band as Plateful's view. Plateful's ₱ to ₱₱₱₱ scale is its own, and it does not show the Michelin rating or a menu price.
What to check before you go
- Hours and reservations. Plateful's hours data is not yet verified for every record. Confirm opening hours and whether a booking is needed with the restaurant.
- Menu. Tasting menus and set menus can change between editions. Check the current menu and the likely total for your group before you go.
- Branch. Some restaurants have more than one branch. Confirm the address against the guide and the Plateful page.
