Atlanta Filipino restaurant Estrellita keeps Michelin Bib Gourmand for a fourth year, plans South Downtown move

By Kislap Editorial ·

Estrellita, the Filipino restaurant in Atlanta's Grant Park, has kept its Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction for a fourth year, and Atlanta News First's ATL Live reported it plans to move next year to a larger historic space in South Downtown near Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Estrellita, the Filipino restaurant at 580 Woodward Ave. SE in Atlanta's Grant Park, has received its fourth Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction, Atlanta News First's ATL Live reported on 29 October.

Discover Atlanta's list of Atlanta award winners in the MICHELIN Guide American South 2026 names Estrellita (Filipino), with Walter Cortado, among the city's Bib Gourmand recipients. Discover Atlanta said the MICHELIN Guide Atlanta, in its fourth year and second as part of the American South selection, recognised 64 restaurants.

According to Discover Atlanta, a Bib Gourmand recognises restaurants serving delicious food at a great value. It is a separate distinction from a MICHELIN Star, with affordability considered alongside cooking quality.

Recognition so far

  • Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026
  • Best Taste at the 2026 Grand Tasting Midtown by Taste of Atlanta, for ube ensaymada paired with ube affogato made with house-made ube ice cream and espresso

Longaniza on the shelves

Executive Chef and Co-Founder Walter Cortado and Executive Sous Chef Chef C appeared on ATL Live with Filipino dishes. The segment included a tasting of dishes made with house-made longaniza, a Filipino sausage made with Duroc pork, and samples of the restaurant's new dessert special.

ATL Live reported that Estrellita's longaniza is available at Duluth City Farmers Market, Grant Park Market, Candler Park Market and 11 stores in Florida.

A bigger space next year

The restaurant plans to move next year to South Downtown near Mercedes-Benz Stadium, to a historic space described as nearly three times larger with a full bar, according to ATL Live.

Estrellita is not the only Filipino name in this year's Atlanta selection: Discover Atlanta's list of MICHELIN Recommended restaurants includes Kamayan ATL (Filipino), with Mia Oriño, on Buford Highway in Doraville.
