Germany thrilled: record number of Michelin stars revealed in 2025!
What's going on in Germany's gastronomic scene? A look at the current edition of the MICHELIN Guide 2025 reveals it: Germany has secured a place at the top culinary level with a record number of 341 restaurants with Michelin stars. The celebratory launch of the gourmet guide recently took place in Frankfurt am Main, where the country's best chefs gathered to accept their awards. Deutschlandfunk culture reports that a total of 12 restaurants received the highest honor of three stars, including the newly awarded top restaurants Haerlin in Hamburg and Tohru in the Schreiberei in Munich.
The MICHELIN Guide has continually set standards throughout its long history, which dates back more than 100 years. It all started to motivate drivers to travel and to increase sales of tires belonging to the Michelin company. Today, the award of Michelin stars is a sign of quality that is recognized worldwide. It is particularly pleasing that the trend towards plant-based cuisine and the use of regional and seasonal products is progressing in Germany.

Overall, the new MICHELIN Guide awarded the following stars:
- 12 Restaurants mit 3 Sternen (2 neu)
- 47 Restaurants mit 2 Sternen (5 neu)
- 282 Restaurants mit 1 Stern (30 neu)
In addition, 80 Green Stars were awarded for sustainable gastronomy, 14 of which are newcomers. Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide, praised the high quality and creativity of German cuisine. A conscious and sustainable diet is increasingly being promoted, which not only inspires connoisseurs but also environmental lovers.
