German cuisine is much more than currywurst and schweinhaxe. That fact is plain after the Michelin guide announced the country's latest roster of starred restaurants. A total of 274 German restaurants received the prestigious Michelin star for 2023, including 34 for the first time.

The new Michelin-starred restaurants in Germany include innovative eateries like Bonvivant in Berlin with its exclusively vegetarian and vegan cuisine, and the mural farmhouse - FINE DINE in Munich which was honoured with the Green Star for its inspiring sustainable practices.

Another notable one-star newcomer is the Sahila - The Restaurant in Cologne, where Julia Komp skillfully puts her many exciting culinary impressions into practice after a trip around the world. The gastronomic scene in Münster (Westphalia) is also of a high standard with two new One-MICHELIN Star restaurants, BOK Restaurant Brust oder Keule and Spitzner.

These new Michelin-starred restaurants showcase the diversity and innovation of Germany's gastronomy scene.

"Germany's Michelin-starred restaurants offer visitors an unparalleled culinary experience," said Anja Brokjans, Director of the German National Tourist Office Canada. "The diverse regional cuisines, innovative culinary concepts, and stunning locations make Germany an ideal destination for food lovers and travellers looking for a unique experience."

Germany's Michelin-starred restaurants are located throughout the country, from the cosmopolitan cities of Berlin and Munich to the picturesque towns of the Rhine Valley and Bavarian Alps. They offer visitors a chance to explore the nation's diverse regional cuisines, from the hearty meat dishes of Bavaria to the fresh seafood of the North Sea coast.

Germany's Michelin-starred restaurants also provide a chance to experience the country's rich cultural heritage, from the elegant Art Nouveau interiors of Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer in Berlin to the historic wine cellar of Schloss Berg in the Northern Black Forest.
