Filipino cuisine, and the many local chefs that bring it to life, have always been worthy of attention. And it’s this Filipino culinary excellence that once again took the spotlight with the recent unveiling of the Michelin Guide Philippines 2027. If the inaugural edition last year featured 108 establishments, the second edition extended the list to 127 locations across Manila, its surrounding areas, and Cebu.
While there was no new restaurant to receive two stars, Helm by Chef Josh Boutwood retained its recognition from last year. Also, there are plenty of new additions to this year’s list, including one new restaurant to receive one star, that being FLOW in Makati, which specializes in Peruvian and Filipino cuisine, as well as a handful of special awards for select chefs.
Below, check out the Michelin Guide Philippines 2027 awardees so that you can plan your next food trip.
