Metiz: Philippine Star
Metiz in the Philippines, from Chef Stephan Duhesme, picked up a Michelin star and runs a 45–55 minute ‘Movements’ tasting menu starting at ₱3,200+, featuring Filipino fermentation like Ensaladang Gulay with 13 vegetables and Isda at Kanin smoked fish (x.com). The menu’s tight runtime and local techniques were praised as ideal for busy diners seeking authentic, elevated Filipino flavors (x.com).
Metiz appears in the MICHELIN Guide Philippines 2026 as a MICHELIN-selected (Guide) restaurant rather than among the nine establishments awarded Michelin stars in the inaugural list. (guide.michelin.com)) The kitchen is housed at Karrivin Plaza, Ground Floor, Building A, 2316 Chino Roces Avenue Extension in Makati, and the MICHELIN entry lists the venue’s price band (₱₱₱) and notes that the restaurant manages its own bookings. (guide.michelin.com)) Metiz closed for renovations in April 2025 and reopened with refreshed interiors and a reworked tasting format in August 2025, with co-owner and collaborator Arlo Gregorio continuing alongside Chef Stephan Duhesme. (media.tatlerasia.com)) Stephan Duhesme is half-French, half-Filipino, trained and worked at places including Purple Yam and Gallery Vask before opening Metiz in 2019, and previously operated Tria NeoBistro in Bogotá as part of his international résumé. (manilafoodfestival.com)) Metiz’s relaunch and menu evolution have been profiled in regional outlets including Tatler Asia and Philstar Life, which highlighted the restaurant’s emphasis on regional Filipino techniques and a redesigned dining flow. (tatlerasia.com)) The MICHELIN Guide’s Philippines debut recognized 108 establishments across Manila and environs plus Cebu — nine starred restaurants, one Green Star, 25 Bib Gourmands and 74 Michelin Selected entries — situating Metiz within the guide’s inaugural ecosystem rather than among the small group of newly starred venues.
