Michelin 2025: Germany shines with a record star!

On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the mostly expected Michelin stars for Germany were awarded in Frankfurt. This year there was a new record: a total of 341 restaurants received at least one star - this is one restaurant more than in the previous year. The two new top restaurants that were able to achieve the award of three stars are particularly noteworthy. These newcomers are the "Restaurant Haerlin" in Hamburg under the direction of chef Christoph Rüffer and the "Tohru in the writing" in Munich, led by Tohru Nakamura. Your extraordinary culinary concepts convince at all levels and set new standards in the catering trade.

The awarding of the stars is an important event for the gastronomy and attracts a lot of attention. Other culinary awards were also awarded on this special day. The Cocktail Award went to Michele Heinrich from Yaldy in Frankfurt, while Marie-Helen Krebs from Ikigai received the sommelier Award in Elmau Castle. The mentor boss award was awarded to Claus-Peter Lumpp from Bareiss in Baiersbronn, while Luis Hendsch was recognized by Pietsch in Wernigerode as Young Chef of the Year. Finally, Daniela Oos from the wine and table house in Trittenheim received the service award.

A look at the new awards

In addition, 47 restaurants were awarded two stars, including five new additions such as the "Oswalds Gourmestube" in Teisnach and "Gotthardt’s by Yannick Noack" in Koblenz. 282 restaurants can also look forward to a star, with 30 new promoters being in the star league. The 80 restaurants that have received the green star for environmentally conscious gastronomy can be particularly proud. Of the 15 restaurants that received the BIB Gourmand for a good price-performance ratio, some new facilities may also be welcomed.

This year's award impressively shows that German gastronomy is in constant change, shaped by creativity and courage to new. How the developments go on remains exciting and we can look forward to the next few years.
