Bavaria shines with almost 100 Michelin stars for its excellent gastronomy.
One restaurant has achieved particularly impressive development.
Munich – Almost 100 stars for outstanding gastronomy have been awarded to Bavaria: The renowned Michelin Guide has recognized a large number of restaurants in the state for their outstanding achievements.
“Edip Sigl from the ES:SENZ restaurant in Grassau, Upper Bavaria, has achieved a truly outstanding development,” was the praise from the inspectors on Tuesday, March 26, in Frankfurt for the only new three-star restaurant in Germany.
With its “creative cuisine rich in contrast and at the same time harmoniously implemented”, the restaurant has reached the pinnacle of international gastronomy with two stars after just two years.
Great praise for Bavarian cuisine – Michelin awards go to the Free State
Two of the three new two-star restaurants nationwide can also be found in Bavaria: The “KOMU” in Munich, under the leadership of chef Christoph Kunz, made it into the second highest league with its innovative menus shortly after its inclusion in the gourmet guide achieved and can look forward to the award as “opening of the year”.
The team at “PUR” from Berchtesgaden under chef Ulrich Heimann also achieved a second star with a “fantastic tasting menu full of taste balance”.

Of the 32 new one-star restaurants nationwide, the “Residenz Heinz Winkler” restaurant in Aschau im Chiemgau particularly stands out.
“Here, a new kitchen team is bringing a real classic of the German gastronomy scene back into the star league - under the leadership of two well-known chefs: Stefan Barnhusen and Daniel Pape,” said those responsible.
After the death of haute cuisine legend Heinz Winkler last year, the house was stripped of its two stars.

Many Michelin stars nationwide – additional awards for sustainable restaurateurs
The “Schwingshackl ESSKULTUR” by Erich and Katharina Schwingshackl, which moved from Bad Tölz to Lake Starnberg, also received a new star.
In total, the gourmet experts awarded 340 hotels with at least one star.
79 of them are in Bavaria, including two three-star, 14 two-star and 63 one-star restaurants.
The second three-star restaurant in Bavaria is Jan Hartwig's “JAN” in the state capital.

In addition to the stars for culinary achievements, some restaurateurs were recognized for their sustainability efforts.
A total of 77 Green Stars were awarded nationwide in this year's selection by the renowned restaurant guide.
A large number of them, namely 29, are located in Bavaria, with many of these restaurants being in the southern regions of the state - from Aying in the Munich district to Waging am See in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein.
The testers emphasized that resource conservation and respectful handling of food do not limit enjoyment.
They cited, among other things, the use of seasonal, regional and local (organic) products as well as meat from species-appropriate animal husbandry as exemplary reasons for awarding the Green Star.
This also includes “nose to tail” processing, in which as many parts of a slaughtered animal as possible are processed “from snout to tail”, avoiding long transport routes and avoiding waste.
