Michelin-stars 2025: New record for Berlin's kitchen treasures!

On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the Michelin stars for the best restaurants in Germany will take place in Frankfurt am Main. The Michelin guide has been a benchmark for culinary excellence for over 60 years. Last year, Germany was 340 restaurants with Michelin stars and ten of them belonged to the highest category with three stars.

in Berlin has only secured the "Rutz" restaurant under the direction of Marco Müller a place in the top division of the gastronomy. With his cuisine, he reached the three coveted stars on Chausseestrasse. However, this could change this year, since outstanding new restaurants also revitalize the competition in other cities.

growth in top gastronomy

The Michelin Guide 2025 recorded a historical record, because now 12 restaurants are awarding three Michelin stars. This includes the new top restaurants "Restaurant Haerlin" in Hamburg and "Tohru in the writing" in Munich. This leads to a total of 341 restaurants with at least one star in 2025, which represents an increase from one compared to the previous year.

In addition, there are 47 restaurants with two stars, five of which are new, and 282 restaurants that were awarded a star, including 30 new ones. The green star for sustainable gastronomy is also becoming increasingly popular, with 80 restaurants that have received this award. In contrast, 33 kitchens lost one or more stars, which can be attributed to closures or quality deteriorations.

influence of the Guide Michelin

The story of the Michelin Guide goes back to 1900 when the book was designed as a practical guide for drivers. The evaluation of restaurants began from the 1920s, and the Michelin star was introduced in 1926. Anonymous testers assess the quality of the kitchen, the freshness of the ingredients, the craft, the taste and the price-performance ratio of the rated local.

With the introduction of special awards such as the green star and the BIB Gourmand for good price-performance ratio, the Guide Michelin has further diversified and the catering landscape in Germany has been shaped by the sustainability. Frankfurt, as a place of the star ceremony, offers a remarkable culinary diversity that ranges from apple wine stations to international top restaurants.

The awarding of the Michelin stars will be broadcast live on YouTube on Tuesday evening, and the gastronomy world is eagerly awaiting the new top performance in German cuisine.
