The best restaurants in the Michelin Guide 2025 – all German Michelin-starred restaurants

A record year for top German gastronomy. At this year’s Michelin Awards in Frankfurt, it became clear once again: despite all the challenges, the standard remains high – and the variety continues to grow.

The process itself provided additional talking points this year: First, Manager-Magazin published the initial results, followed shortly afterwards by Der Spiegel, and later Stern.de. While Stern.de stuck to its pre-publication for a long time, the other two quickly retracted and deleted the articles in order to comply with the embargo period during the announcement.

A total of 341 restaurants in Germany will be awarded at least one Michelin star in 2025. There have never been more. Strong proof of the consistently high quality, but also of the unwavering ambition of the many teams who deliver top performance day after day.

Twelve restaurants are now at the top of the German gourmet world. Two new establishments were accepted into the exclusive circle of three-star restaurants – a rarity that was last achieved in 2008.

In Hamburg, the Haerlin is making history under head chef Christoph Rüffer. He won over the Michelin inspectors with precise compositions, perfect products and impressive balance. The award is the result of years of consistent work at the highest level – in my view a long-deserved upgrade – and an important signal for Hamburg as a culinary destination. In this context, the other new stars for Hamburg are also pleasing: a star for the GLORIE, the à la carte restaurant in the 100/200, another star for the Koer – and also long deserved and overdue, the star for Marcel Görke’s Heimatjuwel.

Munich can also celebrate: Tohru in der Schreiberei receives its third star. Head chef Tohru Nakamura combines Japanese inspiration with classic French cuisine – sensitive, individual, precise. After his double success last year, he has now taken the next step to the top.

Once again, the Michelin Guide 2025 shows that Germany’s kitchens are not only cooking at the highest level – they are also constantly developing, refining, risking and winning.

The overview of the new stars for 2025

• 341 Restaurants mit mindestens einem Stern 
• 12 Restaurants mit drei Sternen (2 neu)
• 47 Restaurants mit zwei Sternen (5 neu)
• 282 Restaurants mit einem Stern (30 neu)
• 80 Grüne Sterne für nachhaltige Gastronomie (14 neu)

There has also been encouraging movement in the two-star league. A total of 47 restaurants in Germany now have two stars, and five new establishments were added to this category this year.

New awards were presented:

• Oswalds Gourmetstube in Teisnach (Bavaria)
• Gotthardt’s by Yannick Noack in Koblenz
• Intense in Wachenheim an der Weinstraße (Rhineland-Palatinate)
• Pietsch in Wernigerode (Saxony-Anhalt)
• Atama by Martin Stopp in Sankt Ingbert (Saarland)

A fine example of the diversity of top German cuisine – even away from the big cities. 33 restaurants had to give up stars this year. The reasons for this vary: closures, conceptual realignments or declining quality. Around two dozen anonymous Michelin inspectors are on the road in Germany to award the ratings according to a globally standardized system. The focus is always on the same criteria: The quality of the products, the signature style of the cuisine, the price/performance ratio – and, above all, consistent quality over a long period of time.

With twelve three-star restaurants, including two new additions, the extraordinary density of performance at the top is confirmed. Hamburg and Munich are exemplary for the development: Christoph Rüffer lifts the Haerlin to the three-star Olympus, while Kevin Fehling impressively confirms his exceptional position with The Table. In Munich, Tohru Nakamura follows suit with Tohru in the Schreiberei, flanked by Jan Hartwig, who confidently maintains the class of top international cuisine with JAN.

The dynamism is also evident in the two-star category: 47 addresses now carry this award and five new establishments have been added. It is remarkable how much smaller towns and regions are also contributing to the diversity – from Teisnach to Wernigerode, from Wachenheim to Koblenz.

The one-star restaurant scene continues to grow: 30 new establishments were recognized for the first time in 2025, including exciting concepts with their own unique character – from Berlin to Hamburg to Dresden.

German gastronomy is also setting a clear example when it comes to sustainability: With 80 Green Stars, including 14 new additions, responsible enjoyment is increasingly becoming an integral part of top gastronomy.

All in all: more variety, more quality, more responsibility. Germany’s kitchens keep moving – and delivering, year after year.
