Brick Corner landed a Bib Gourmand in Michelin’s 2026 Philippines guide, putting a Taguig Indian restaurant into the guide’s first Philippine class. (guide.michelin.com) The Michelin Guide published its inaugural Bib Gourmand selection for Manila and Environs and Cebu on October 29, 2025, naming 25 restaurants in total. Brick Corner was one of 19 Bib Gourmand picks in Manila and Environs. (guide.michelin.com) On Michelin’s listing, Brick Corner is at 151 Forbeswood Heights, Forbestown Road, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, and is categorized as Indian and Asian cuisine at a mid-range price point. (guide.michelin.com) Bib Gourmand is Michelin’s label for restaurants judged to offer good quality cooking at moderate prices, separate from Michelin Stars. In the Philippines debut, that value tier sat alongside one two-star restaurant, eight one-star restaurants and 74 Michelin Selected addresses.

They also pointed diners to naan baked in a tandoor for its chewy texture and smoky aroma.

The restaurant said the recognition came 16 months after opening. (businessmirror.com.ph) The Michelin launch itself was a first for the country. Michelin said the 2026 guide for Manila and Environs and Cebu was unveiled on October 30, 2025, at Manila Marriott Hotel in Newport World Resorts. (guide.michelin.com) That makes Brick Corner’s Bib Gourmand less a one-day promotion than part of Michelin’s first formal map of Philippine dining. In that first map, a North Indian dining room in Bonifacio Global City made the value list. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2)
