Quezon City isn’t just the City of Film now; it’s also stepping into the spotlight for its culinary scene. On November 5, the Quezon City government announced a food crawl challenge, encouraging eager diners to eat at restaurants in the city featured in the inaugural Michelin Guide Philippines.
The challenge requires participants to visit at least three Quezon City restaurants featured in the Guide and create a photo collage or reel of their time there. Five participants who visit at least three restaurants will get the chance to win QCinema merchandise, while two winners who visit at least five restaurants will receive two QCinephile Badges, which will act as their exclusive pass to the upcoming QCinema International Film Festival from November 14 to 23. The badges grant the two winners 10 screening credits and two exclusive merchandise sets.
Participants must also include the hashtags #MichelinQC, #QCinema2025, and #QCMoreToExplore in their posts, and they must tag QC Tourism & Promotions and QCinema.
The Quezon City restaurants included in the Michelin Guide Philippines are:
• Deo Gracias, 12 11th Jamboree, Diliman, Quezon City
• Esmeralda Kitchen, 43 Mayon St, Santa Mesa Heights, Quezon City
• Fong Wei Wu, Banawe Street, Samat, Quezon City

The latter three of which were awarded the prestigious Bib Gourmand, which honors restaurants that offer meals at reasonable prices.
The deadline to take part in the challenge is November 12.
