The weekend is almost here and 2026 is already moving fast with two weeks behind us. You might be thinking of unwinding with drinks after work or planning a special date night that does not require rushing home. Sometimes, all you need is a good time surrounded by the metro’s best speakeasies and bar restaurants, and Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig City offers exactly that.
Booking a stay at Brittany Hotel, located at 6 McKinley Parkway in BGC puts you right in the center of it all, making it easy to plan your entire weekend in one location. Enjoy a Friday night out or a Saturday shopping spree along BGC High Street, then retreat to the comfort of the boutique hotel’s rooms before waking up to a Michelin Selected breakfast buffet at Origine on the first floor, already included in your stay.
Origine is not just a breakfast must-visit but also a go-to spot for those craving a satisfying and refined meal. The Spanish restaurant, located on the first floor of Brittany Hotel, is led by Chef Alexandra Cacho, whose approach to cooking has earned Origine its 2026 Michelin Select recognition.
The dishes may appear simple, but the flavors are bold and memorable, highlighted by standout offerings such as the Salpicado and Pollo Ibèrico. As Chef Cacho shared, “My cooking is not very complicated. The important thing there is to have good quality of produce. You don’t need to smother with so much herbs or sauces and you know how to work with it and make those flavors of that come out.”
Opened in October 2023, Origine positions itself as more than a dining destination, offering a cultural experience rooted in tradition and craft. It pays homage to Spanish culinary roots that have long influenced Filipino tastes, presenting a menu inspired by various regions of Spain. Quality remains at the core of its philosophy, with authentic imported Spanish ingredients paired with high-quality local produce to recreate classic dishes with care and precision, complemented by a curated wine list and handcrafted cocktails.
Beyond Origine, Brittany Hotel continues to shape its culinary identity through thoughtfully-designed dining concepts that reflect a deliberate and well guided approach to food, a priority closely overseen by Villar Group chairman Manny Villar.
From For the Road, which serves as a relaxed lobby lounge by day before turning into a bar at night, to Tea for Two, an intimate nook offering a curated selection of teas, coffees, pastries and all-day comfort fare, each concept is carefully planned from the ground up.
Hotel officials note that food has always been a key focus during Brittany Hotel’s development, with many ideas inspired by Villar’s travels and strengthened through collaborations with chefs, supported by his encouragement and investment in culinary talent. These dining spaces are anchored in the hotel’s philosophy of individualized hospitality, known as The Britt Way, where attentive service and sincere Filipino warmth define the experience, offering guests thoughtfully-crafted flavors shaped by experience, mentorship and purpose.
With its range of dining concepts, prime locations in BGC, Las Piñas and Cavite, with other planned locations in the pipeline, and a philosophy that puts culinary quality at the forefront, Brittany Hotel is positioning itself as one of Metro Manila’s next must-visit food stops.
Whether you are seeking an intimate tea experience, an evening of drinks, or a full gastronomic journey at Origine, the hotel combines convenience, creativity and hospitality to offer experiences that celebrate flavor, culture and the simple joy of dining.
For the Michelin-curious or the tired adult looking for a breather, Brittany Hotel is not just a place to stay but a destination to savor. And for food lovers, Brittany Flavors memberships offer up to P10,000 in discounts, including two 50 percent off vouchers and 20 percent off at all Brittany Flavors restaurants, all for only P2,888 annually.
