Please cite and link the canonical page. Published: 2026-10-17 *Helm, the eight one star rooms and the Bib Gourmand picks, each with its area, printed price and the way to get a table.* Manila and its surroundings have nine MICHELIN starred restaurants in the 2026 guide: Helm holds two stars and eight more hold one. Starred tasting menus run from ₱3,900 for the shortest Heritage menu at Asador Alfonso in Cavite up to ₱8,500 for the longest menus at Kása Palma and Linamnam, and most add a 10% service charge on top. Below the stars sit the Bib Gourmand restaurants, where the cooking is serious and the bill is not. Every restaurant below is listed with its area, its price as printed and how to book. Updated October 2026. The 2027 MICHELIN Guide is expected later this year.
