For the first time, Philadelphia will have its own Michelin Guide, spotlighting high-end restaurants and affordable dining through the Bib Gourmand designation. This initiative, driven by the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, introduces a level of recognition that can significantly boost local eateries. Michelin inspectors have begun their evaluations, with results to be disclosed later. Notable chef Mike Solomonov anticipates the positive impact of this recognition, while international director Gwendal Poullennec visits to assess several renowned restaurants in the city, marking a significant milestone in Philadelphia's culinary landscape.
We are so excited to see the impact this recognition has on our peers and the community at large.
The process of how Michelin selects a restaurant is shrouded in mystery, but the gist is that anonymous inspectors are assigned to visit.
Michelin inspectors are already in the field, and the full 2025 restaurant selections will be revealed 'at a later date'.
International director of the Michelin Guides, Gwendal Poullennec, will be in town starting Monday.
