Germany’s cuisine: A Reflection of gastronomic heaven

The German National Tourist Office India (GNTO India) reports that Germany’s culinary scene has achieved new heights, with 340 Michelin-starred restaurants. This achievement strengthens Germany’s reputation as a gastronomic destination for Indian guests seeking unique and diverse culinary experiences. Germany’s diverse culinary offerings meet this demand with classic cuisine, new twists, and novel fusions.

Additionally, 77 establishments have earned a Green Star for their commitment to sustainability. The Michelin Green Star was introduced in 2020 to encourage restaurant owners to conserve resources and treat food with respect. This includes using seasonal and local products, as well as meat from animals raised in their natural environment.

“Germany’s culinary scene is a reflection of our rich cultural heritage and traditions. From the hearty meat dishes of Bavaria to the fresh seafood of the North, every region offers a unique gastronomic experience. We invite Indian travelers to come and savour the flavours of Germany, including our exciting vegan and vegetarian options” said Romit Theophilus, Director of Marketing & Sales Office of GNTO India.

With this impressive achievement, Germany boasts the fourth highest number of Michelin stars, following France, Japan and Italy. Notably, vegan and vegetarian options are increasingly popular in Germany, with many restaurants now offering plant-based versions of classic dishes.
