★ 47 days to go
Where Philadelphia stands: three one-star restaurants: Her Place Supper Club, Friday Saturday Sunday and Provenance. Philly's first guide, last year, gave three stars and ten Bib Gourmands, and left Kalaya and Vetri Cucina on the recommended list.

Marc Vetri's tasting menu, for 25 years one of the best Italian restaurants in America. Being only recommended last year was the guide's biggest Philly snub.

Philly expected a star for its omakase counter; it got a Bib Gourmand for the izakaya instead. If the inspectors get a counter seat this year, that changes.

Michelin names its new stars on Monday, December 14, 2026. We'll email you that night with who got one in Philadelphia, and how your picks did.
This also opens a free Chef Amazing account: keep the places you love, the lists friends send you and your next trip. Your address is never shared or sold. Picks for Philadelphia are counted without an account.
How Chef picks
Only restaurants without a star today. Then what we read: what the critics wrote this year (the New York Times, the Washington Post, Chicago magazine, the Globe, the Inquirer), James Beard lists, which places Michelin itself added to the guide this year, the critics' read Chef Amazing keeps on each place, and how members who've been rate it. Strong, Good and Long shot are Chef's words for the odds, not math: nobody outside Michelin knows what the inspectors ate.
