Expensive Taste: A Michelin-Starred Trip Through Germany

Ranked 4th globally with 327 Michelin-starred restaurants in 2024, Germany stands among the culinary powerhouses, following France (623), Italy (392), and Japan (377).

Munich and Berlin lead the way with 28 stars each, featuring iconic establishments like Berlin’s sustainable 'Rutz' (3 stars and a Green Star) and Munich's 'JAN' (3 stars).

Beyond the urban centers, smaller hubs like Baiersbronn — home to two three-star restaurants — highlight that fine dining thrives across the country. While rising costs challenge the global restaurant industry, Germany’s focus on regional diversity and sustainability ensures its place as a key player in the world of haute cuisine."
