The inaugural MICHELIN Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu, announced on 30 October 2025, lists 18 restaurants in and around Cebu: 6 Bib Gourmands (MICHELIN's definition: good quality, good value cooking) and 12 Selected restaurants (good cooking). None in Cebu holds a star. Five are outside Cebu City itself: DIP, COCO and Enye in Lapu-Lapu, Kamakura in Mandaue and Lantaw in Compostela. Below, each pick sits next to its Google and TripAdvisor scores, with a link to its own guide entry.
