Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Manila
Are they worth going to? Is the food really that good?
I've been watching the series "The Bear," and it makes me feel like food is a way of communicating with love and passion?
Are Michelin stars mostly just a marketing "scam"? I want to taste the best of the best.
Many people said that places with stars are worth visiting because the food is of a high standard, and Toyo and Gallery by Chele were the ones mentioned. Some also advised trying a Bib Gourmand, one level down, if the price is a concern. On the other hand, some said that Michelin is a scam in any country, just expensive for the sake of it.
No, they're really good. It depends on your taste, of course, but Michelin is a worldwide standard of quality, so a one-star restaurant in Manila is as good as a one-star restaurant in Paris. Try Toyo or Gallery by Chele.
Quick guide: No stars, just on the list: decent places anyone can enjoy if that cuisine is to your taste. There are two tracks: - Just on the list: they all fall in here, think of it as the baseline list - Bib Gourmand - same as above but good value for money (meaning not too expensive for food of this level) One star: obviously means they cook well, but know that it's usually not a regular restaurant, it's a set menu rather than ordering à la carte. Go prepared. Two stars: only one place in the Philippines Three stars: none in the Philippines
It's the tastiest Indian restaurant in Manila. I think it got a Michelin star too.
Maybe my palate is just less refined. I pay a ton for a Michelin meal and walk out thinking 'Where's the Beef?' I'm happy with a neighborhood place that serves the kind of food you'd feed your own kids. I don't care about the atmosphere as long as it's clean. I'm an Anthony Bourdain person, not a Gordon Ramsay person.
