Brick Corner wins Michelin Bib Gourmand

Brick Corner, a modern Indian resto-bar in Bonifacio Global City, won a Bib Gourmand in Michelin’s first Philippines guide for 2026. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin published the Bib Gourmand list on October 29, 2025, as part of the inaugural Michelin Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu 2026. The full guide was unveiled on October 30, 2025, at Manila Marriott Hotel in Newport World Resorts. (guide.michelin.com) (michelin.com) The Bib Gourmand is Michelin’s label for restaurants serving notably good food at moderate prices. In the Philippines debut, Michelin named 25 Bib Gourmand restaurants, with 19 in Manila and environs and six in Cebu. (guide.michelin.com) (manilatimes.net) Brick Corner is in Forbes Town, a dining strip in Taguig’s Bonifacio Global City, and multiple local reports described it as the only Indian restaurant in the Philippines to make the 2026 Bib Gourmand list. (businessmirror.com.ph) (manilastandard.net) That matters because Michelin’s first Philippines edition put 108 establishments into its debut selection: one with two stars, eight with one star, 25 Bib Gourmand picks, and 74 Michelin Selected restaurants. (michelin.com) (rappler.com) The guide’s footprint was concentrated in Metro Manila, which Rappler counted at 88 recognized restaurants, with two in Cavite and 18 in Cebu. That gave diners a map of where Michelin saw the country’s strongest restaurant clusters in its first pass. (rappler.com) For Brick Corner, the Bib Gourmand places it in Michelin’s value tier rather than the star system, but still inside the guide’s global recommendation network. Michelin says Bib Gourmand restaurants are chosen for food quality and value, not tasting-menu luxury. (guide.michelin.com) The result is a specific kind of visibility: a BGC restaurant serving Indian food now sits on the same inaugural Michelin Philippines list that food tourists, hotel concierges, and guidebook readers will use to plan meals.
