Brandenburg enchants: Falkensee's new Michelin star restaurant Sawito!

This year's Michelin stars for Germany were awarded in Frankfurt am Main on Tuesday evening, and the gastronomy scene in Brandenburg and Berlin can look forward to some exciting news. Particularly outstanding is the award for the restaurant “Sawito” in Falkensee, which is now a new one-star restaurant in the Michelin Guide. This award marks a further step in the culinary development of the Brandenburg region, which can now count a total of three restaurants with Michelin stars. Existing one-star restaurants such as the “Kochzimmer in der Gaststätte zur Ratswaage” in Potsdam and the “Alte Überfahrt” in Werder (Havel) are keeping their stars, as rbb24 reports.

But there is also interesting news to report in Berlin. The restaurant “Loumi” in Berlin-Kreuzberg celebrates its first star. Chef Karl-Louis Kömmler, a self-taught chef, delights guests with a creative mix of Japanese-Asian and French cuisine. Berlin now has 17 one-star restaurants and is well on its way to further establishing itself as a culinary stronghold. Nothing has changed in the two-star restaurant category either: four addresses remain at this level: “Coda Dessert Dining”, “Facil”, “Horváth” and “Tim Raue”. The news that the “Lorenz Adlon Dining Room” has lost one of its two stars was quite surprising, while the only three-star restaurant in the region, the “Rutz” on Chausseestrasse, continues to proudly wear its award.

New stars and lasting awards

In addition to the stars, the gastronomy in Brandenburg also has a green achievement to report: The restaurant “Wilde Klosterküche” in Neuzelle received a Green Star for sustainable cuisine for the first time. This shows that the importance of sustainability in gastronomy is also being called out and that chefs are thinking about their ingredients and their origin. In a country where 341 restaurants have already been awarded at least one Michelin star, we see a clear trend towards regionality and sustainability, confirms moz.de.

Overall, it is an exciting time for the gastronomy scene in Berlin and Brandenburg. The development of Michelin stars illustrates the constant rise of restaurants in the region - not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively. It remains to be seen how restaurants in the region develop and what the culinary future holds. What is it called? The best cuisine is the one that not only fills the guest but also touches the heart.

The view of Germany

In Germany, the latest reviews show that a total of twelve restaurants have been awarded three stars. The cuisine in cities like Hamburg and Munich remains strong, with two of the highest starred restaurants each. In Berlin, as already mentioned, we now have 17 one-star restaurants, which is an increase compared to 2024. This shows that the culinary arts in our capital are very popular and are constantly evolving. This is in line with the aim of presenting both traditional and innovative dishes, as can be found in the article on guide.michelin.com.

With this breath of fresh air in gastronomy, lovers of fine cuisine can look forward to many culinary highlights. To health and bon appetit!
