Brick Corner wins Michelin Bib Gourmand

Brick Corner in Bonifacio Global City has landed a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu 2026, giving the Indian resto-bar a place in Michelin’s first Philippines guide. (guide.michelin.com) (businessmirror.com.ph) The Michelin Guide published its Bib Gourmand list on October 29, 2025 and included 25 restaurants across Manila and Environs and Cebu. Brick Corner appears on Michelin’s Philippines Bib Gourmand roster and in the guide’s full 2026 selection. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) Bib Gourmand is Michelin’s category for restaurants that serve “good quality, good value cooking,” distinct from the star ratings. Michelin’s Philippines launch produced 1 two-star restaurant, 8 one-star restaurants, 25 Bib Gourmands and 74 Michelin Selected addresses, for 108 establishments in total. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) For Brick Corner, the award puts an Indian restaurant into a guide that had never before covered the Philippines. The restaurant said it was the only Indian cuisine honoree in the 2026 Bib Gourmand selection. (businessmirror.com.ph) (manilastandard.net) The timing is tight. Brick Corner opened on June 10, 2024 in Forbes Town, and reports on its Michelin recognition said the Bib Gourmand arrived about 16 months later. (manilatimes.net) (businessmirror.com.ph) Michelin announced in February 2025 that it was expanding to Manila and Environs and Cebu for an inaugural 2026 edition, with inspectors already in the field before the first list was unveiled that October. That made Brick Corner part of the first class of restaurants ever recognized by Michelin in the country. (manilatimes.net) (guide.michelin.com) The result is less about a single service night than about where Brick Corner now sits in the market: a value-focused Michelin category, in a first-ever national guide, with Indian food represented on the list. That is why the Bib Gourmand matters more than a routine restaurant mention or a local best-of roundup.
