The Michelin Guide upgraded five restaurants in Germany to two-star status and awarded 26 more their first star. The number of three-star establishments was unchanged at nine, the second highest in Europe after France.
The new two-star venues included three on the coast: Sterneck in the Badhotel Sternhagen in the North Sea resort of Cuxhaven; La Belle Epoque in Luebeck-Travemuende on the Baltic; and Restaurant Faehrhaus on the North Sea island of Sylt.
The other two were the Villa Rothschild Kempinski in Koenigstein, near Frankfurt, and the Park Restaurant at Brenner’s Park Hotel in Baden Baden.
The 26 gourmet establishments awarded one new star, bringing the total to 205, included Nagaya, a Japanese restaurant in Dusseldorf, and Maurice, in a hotel near Dresden’s Frauenkirche. Two more were in Munich, two in Cologne and one in Berlin. Fourteen restaurants lost a star or closed.
Under the Michelin system, one star means a very good place in its category, two means excellent and worth a detour, and three stars means among the very best restaurants and worth a special journey.
