Who Deserves a MICHELIN Star? The MICHELIN Guide is Finally Coming to Philly
Over the years Philly’s food scene has become a major player not only in the region, the nation, but on a global scale. Racking up 70 James Beard Awards, now Philly has a chance to make a name in the MICHELIN Guide.
In a recent announcement the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau in partnership with MICHELIN Guide announced that Philly along with Boston will finally be included in the MICHELIN Guide.
The official list of 2025 restaurants have not yet been revealed but this move has the culinary world buzzing.
“We are thrilled for Boston and Philadelphia to join The MICHELIN Guide Northeast Cities as both are premier destinations for gourmets to experience a rich diversity of cuisine and culinary history,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of The MICHELIN Guide. “The local passion, talent, and camaraderie in both Boston and Philadelphia are evident in their restaurant communities and the anonymous Inspectors look forward to spotlighting their unique experiences in both cities.”
The MICHELIN Guide’s anonymous Inspectors are already in the field, making dining reservations and scouting for culinary gems throughout the cities. The full 2025 restaurant selections will be revealed at a later date during the annual MICHELIN Guide Northeast Cities Ceremony.
“In recent years, Philadelphia has become as renowned for its chef-driven food scene as it is for the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and its passionate sports fans,” said Gregg Caren, President and CEO of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Our chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality professionals have been steadily building our city into an internationally acclaimed foodie destination. This announcement that The MICHELIN Guide will be exploring the Philadelphia region to experience our restaurants is an acknowledgement of years of hard work, collaboration, and extraordinary culinary innovation.”
