Michelin-Gala: Hessen celebrates 18 star restaurants this year!

In Hessen there was again reason for joy for gourmets: a total of 18 restaurants were awarded in the new "Guide Michelin". The famous restaurant guide was presented in Frankfurt on June 17 and will be released at the end of July. The “Lafleur” restaurant in Frankfurt stands out under the Hessian star kitchens, which continues to be one of the leaders with two stars. The elegant establishment was able to defend its strong rating and offers a classic and vegan menu, which makes it particularly versatile. The newly awarded "Sommerfeld" in Frankfurt also causes a stir, as it was included in the ranks of the one-star restaurants after taking the place of the "wine sink" closed in 2024. The Michelin guide is published by the French tire manufacturer Michelin, who not only focuses on the best restaurants, but also enjoyable experiences.

It is really impressive that Hessen has no three-star restaurant. This remains a small drawback, but you shouldn't underestimate the variety: the "Guide Michelin" lists a total of 341 restaurants in Germany with at least one star, which is a new high. Among the 341 restaurants in Germany, 12 are also awarded three stars. In Hesse, the "Gustav" is one of the two-star restaurants, which, together with "Lafleur", stands for upscale cuisine. The industry remains dynamic, because the "Gustav" was previously awarded two stars and is considered a pioneer for sustainable kitchen culture, which brought him the green star for sustainability.

The list of the one-star restaurants in Hesse is just as diverse and goes far beyond Frankfurt. For example, the “Christian & Friends Keykitche” can be found in Fulda, which was able to defend his Michelin star for the fourth time in a row. The "Björnsox" in Dermbach (Thuringia) also holds its star and was also awarded a green star that stands for sustainable culinary art. A total of 18 restaurants in Hesse made it into the Michelin leader, many of them surprise with creative kitchens and extraordinary dishes.

The new sustainability assessment of restaurants is also becoming more and more observed. A total of seven companies were awarded the green star in Hesse, the focus on regional products and sustainable practices. In addition to the "Gustav" and "Seven Swans", this also includes the "Marburg dining room" and the "Hohenhaus Grill" in Herleshausen. This shows that enjoyment can go hand in hand.

The high standards and strict criteria of the "Guide Michelin" ensure that the selection of excellent restaurants in Hesse not only stands for the culinary experience, but also rewardes the diversity and quality of the gastronomic scene. The Hessian chefs and their teams also show this year that they have a good knack for outstanding cuisine. Further exciting developments in the catering trade are certainly to be expected again next year.
