Alongside the established chefs, a highly motivated generation of young chefs has made German gastronomy among the best in the world. The country now offers a wide choice of styles of cuisine and gastronomic concepts – a real advantage for gourmets!” comments Michael Ellis, international director in charge of the Michelin Guides.

In this new selection, the restaurant Atelier in the Bayerischer Hotel in Munich has been awarded three stars by the Michelin Guide inspectors. Michael Ellis continues: “In just three years, Chef Jan Hartwig has given his cuisine a very personal signature. The dishes he offers stand out with their deep and complex flavours, their intelligent compositions combined with remarkable technical skills“. In total, the Michelin Guide Germany 2018 has 11 three-star restaurants.

Four new restaurants obtained two stars this year: Keilings Restaurant in Bad Bentheim in Lower Saxony, Schwarzenstein – Nils Henkel in Geisenheim in the Rheingau region, the restaurant Le Cerf hosted by the “Wald & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe” in Öhringen-Friedrichsruhe, in Baden-Württemberg, and Courtier in Wangels, a small town in Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany.

Of these, two offer exclusively vegetarian cuisine: Seven Swans in Frankfurt / Main, an establishment already awarded one star in the previous edition which decided to change the concept to focus on vegetarian food, and Cookies Cream a restaurant in Berlin.
