Philadelphia is officially joining the ranks of world-class dining destinations. For the first time, the Michelin Guide will evaluate and award stars to restaurants in Philly — a major moment for both high-end establishments and hidden gems across the city.
Thanks to the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Michelin inspectors are already in the field, visiting restaurants across town. From James Beard award-winners like Kalaya and Her Place Supper Club, to long-standing neighborhood favorites, every detail counts. Expect the full Michelin Guide selection by late fall.
This prestigious recognition isn't just about stars — it’s a catalyst for tourism, economic growth, and a major draw for culinary talent. As seen in other U.S. cities like Atlanta and Texas, restaurants that make the cut often experience a 20–30% boost in business and increased visibility nationwide.
For buyers and investors, the rise in Philly’s culinary profile adds even more value to the city’s lifestyle. From historic neighborhoods to luxury high-rises near award-worthy restaurants, there’s never been a better time to explore real estate in this growing market.
