Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Philippines has officially been named a 2026 MICHELIN Selected restaurant, placing it among an elite group of global dining destinations recognized for exceptional culinary craft. But according to insiders close to the chef, this isn’t just another accolade — it’s a milestone that Ramsay himself is calling “a moment to remember forever.”
The MICHELIN Selected distinction is more than a badge of excellence. It’s a sign that the restaurant has demonstrated consistency, innovation, and a mastery of flavor that meets the world’s most respected dining standards. For a venue operating outside the chef’s home base, the recognition makes the achievement even more impressive.
What truly elevates this moment, however, is what it represents: Ramsay’s expanding global presence and his mission to bring elevated, world-class dining to Southeast Asia. Insiders reveal that the Philippines location has been one of Ramsay’s most closely watched international projects — a restaurant he has personally invested time, attention, and creative energy into since its launch.
From its meticulously curated menu to its sleek, London-inspired ambiance, every detail reflects Ramsay’s signature commitment to both quality and experience. And this year, the MICHELIN Guide has made that official.
Ramsay’s reaction to the news has been nothing short of emotional. He praised his Manila team for their dedication, discipline, and “unrelenting drive to push boundaries,” calling the recognition “a testament to what passion, hard work, and great food can achieve — no matter where you are in the world.”
Industry watchers believe this honor may be foreshadowing an even bigger chapter for the chef’s brand in Asia. With the Philippines restaurant now on the MICHELIN radar, speculation has begun about future stars, new openings, and an expanding culinary footprint across the region.
For now, one thing is certain:
Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Philippines has officially joined the ranks of world-class dining — and the world is taking notice.
