MICHELIN is presenting the new edition of the MICHELIN Guide Germany during a ceremony held in Hamburg. Once again this year, German gastronomy is demonstrating remarkable growth – despite times of economic hardship. With culinary diversity and undiminished high levels, the 2024 restaurant selection makes you want to go out to dine. There are some impressive figures: of the 340 restaurants awarded Stars, one is distinguished with three Stars, three are new entries in the two Star category, and 32 restaurants are awarded one Star.
“It’s thanks to these passionate professionnals’ tenacity, inventiveness, and tireless energy that gastronomy throughout the country as a whole demonstrates a consistently high level.” commented Gwendal Poullennec, the International Director of the MICHELIN Guides, “Alongside the tremendous quality standards, you can clearly see a constantly increasing awareness by restaurant owners for the need to guide their establishments in a sustainable direction. In many restaurants, the focus is placed on regionality, seasonality and respect for produce. This commitment is deservedly recognized in the MICHELIN Guide with the Green Star.”

The Mentor Chef award went to Sven Elverfeld of the long-time three Stars restaurant Aqua in Wolfsburg. Since 2000, as the in-house chef, he has shared his valuable experience with a great number of chefs, passed on a wealth of know-how, and consequently rendered a great service to up-and-coming young gastronomic talent. The award is presented in partnership with the Swiss watchmaker Blancpain.
The Sommelier award was presented to Stéphane Gass of the legendary three Star restaurant Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn. With his solid knowledge of wines, the Alsatian native, head sommelier at Finkbeiner’s since 1991, is the guarantor of the appropriate accompaniment to the classic, modern menus from Torsten Michel's kitchen team. The Sommelier award is presented in partnership with the French champagne house Perrier-Jouët.
