The air in Frankfurt was alive with tension last night, June 17, 2025, as the Michelin Guide Germany unveiled its latest roster. For Berlin we saw three highly exciting newcomers earn their very first stars, yet a few heavy hitters slipped or disappeared altogether, keeping the total cap unchanged.
On the bright side: Matthias, tucked into the leafy streets of Prenzlauer Bergs Kollwitzkiez, leveled up under chef Silvio Pfeuffer, just shy of its first anniversary since opening last fall. Then there’s Pars at Savignyplatz, where Florian Sperlhöfer - the new chef from Michelin‑coveted Rutz (***) - has recalibrated the kitchen’s focus toward elegant, vegetable‑forward cuisine, now finally rewarded. And Loumi in Kreuzberg, born in chef Karl-Louis flat before morphing into a restaurant in 2023, has made big waves on the fine‑dining scene and, after turning heads for months, has now earned that glowing star.
But Berlin’s ascension comes with caveats. The city bid farewell to Ernst, thanks to its shuttering, while Lorenz Adlon was cut back from two stars to one, and Faelt was stripped of its lone star. This waym Michelin’s net count for Berlin didn't budge.
Still, the ripple of youthful energy is undeniable. These three new stars, each young, dynamic, and unmistakably Berlin, signal a vibrancy in the city’s culinary DNA that's palpable. And on the more casual end of the spectrum, Remi, Mastan, and Ma-Mi nabbed Bib Gourmands, a nod to their reliably exceptional cooking with great value for money.
As Berlin holds steady in numbers, its story is constantly being rewritten in tone and flavor. The city remains unbowed, and perhaps more exciting than ever. Here the full list of all the Michlelin Stars and Bib Gourmands for Berlin:
