The Michelin Guide, known worldwide as the ultimate authority in dining excellence, has officially landed in the Philippines.

About The Michelin Guide

Originating in central France in the 1920s, the Michelin Guide began as a humble travel booklet by the Michelin tire company to help motorists find exceptional food and lodging. Today, it has become the most trusted benchmark for restaurant quality, celebrating the mastery, creativity, and consistency of chefs and their craft.

Every year, Michelin Guide Restaurant Inspectors visit restaurants around the world in complete anonymity and evaluate them based on these key criteria:

• Quality of products

• Mastery of flavour and cooking techniques

• The personality of the chef represented in the dining experience

• Harmony of flavours 

• Consistency between inspectors’ visits

• 
  

Their reviews reflect the highest standards of global dining, and each distinction represents a different level of mastery:
