Celera
1 Michelin star
Celera earned a Michelin star in 2026, placing it among a small group of Makati restaurants that have reshaped the city's fine dining conversation.

Hapag
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
The kitchen works through crowd-beloved dishes reframed with technical precision, earning a place on the Opinionated About Dining Asia list in both 2024 and 2025. Tuesday through Saturday, 6–10pm only.
Helm
1 Michelin star
Helm brings Makati’s tasting-menu ambitions into sharper focus: a chef’s table format in Ayala Triangle Gardens with Michelin 1 Star recognition in 2026, La Liste’s 93-point score, and Tatler Best 20 Restaurants Philippines placement. The draw is not scale but concentration, placing international technique against Manila’s increasingly serious fine-dining conversation.
Inatô
1 Michelin star
Inatô holds a 2026 Michelin star at The Alley at Karrivin in Makati, operating from an eight-seat marble counter that faces an open kitchen. The format is counter-only omakase, grounded in Filipino grilling culture and seasonal produce, with local and international ingredients reframed through Filipino technique. Advance reservations are strongly advised given the limited capacity.
Kása Palma
1 Michelin star
Kása Palma holds a Michelin one-star distinction under chef Aaron Isip, operating from a side street in Makati's dense residential-commercial grid.
