Says Michael Ellis, international director of the MICHELIN guides: "In just three years, Chef Jan HARTWIG has given his cuisine a very personal signature. The dishes he offers stand out with their deep and complex flavours, their intelligent compositions combined with remarkable technical skills." Germany currently has 11 three Michelin-starred restaurants spread throughout the country.
Four new restaurants also obtained two Michelin stars this year: Keilings Restaurant in Bad Bentheim in Lower Saxony, Schwarzenstein - Nils Henkel in the Rheingau region, Le Cerf in Baden-Württemberg, and Courtier in Wangels, a small town in Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany.
"In addition to the established chefs, a highly motivated generation of young chefs has made German gastronomy among the best in the world. The country now offers a wide choice of cuisine styles and gastronomic concepts, a real asset for gourmets!" says Ellis.
