9 Philippine restaurants bag much-coveted Michelin Star rating
Helm, a restaurant by Chef Josh Boutwood, has been awarded two Michelin stars, making it the only Philippine establishment to receive this distinction in the inaugural Michelin Guide Philippines.
Boutwood expressed his disbelief and excitement, calling it a remarkable achievement for his team.
In addition to Helm's two stars, eight other Philippine restaurants were honored with one Michelin star each.
These one-star restaurants include Asador Alfonso, Celera, Gallery by Chele, Hapag, Inato, Kasa Palma, Linamnam, and Toyo Eatery.
Michelin inspectors anonymously visited establishments in Cebu and Manila to curate the first-ever Philippine guide.
A total of 108 establishments were evaluated, resulting in a list of 74 selected restaurants, 25 Bib Gourmand recipients, eight one-Michelin-starred restaurants, and Helm as the sole two-Michelin-starred restaurant.
