Star cuisine in MV: These seven restaurants inspire gourmets!

Star cuisine in MV: These seven restaurants inspire gourmets!

Dierhagen, Deutschland - In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the star kitchen has now shrunk around a star again. As the SVZ this year, the region has seven restaurants with a Michelin-Stern. A loss that does not remain unnoticed: The "Baltic Sea Lounge" in Dierhagen has lost its coveted star and lends itself out of the elite stars of gastronomy in Germany.

This is pleased, however, those who were able to defend their star. These include:

• "Friedrich Franz" in Heiligendamm/Bad Doberan,
• "Old School - Classroom" in the Feldberger Lake Landscape,
• "I know a house on the lake" in Krakow am See,
• "Freustil" in Binz,
• "Kulmeck by Tom Wickboldt" in Heringsdorf,
• "The O’Toom" in Heringsdorf,
• "Gourmet-Restaurant of the butt" in Rostock-high dune.

national trends and regional award

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania does not remain alone in the negative trend of the star restaurants. At the nationwide level, twelve restaurants were awarded three stars, and the distribution of the other stars also shows a similar picture: 47 restaurants can look forward to two stars, while 282 were recognized with a star. As Spiegel.de , the star kitchen remains an important topic in the restaurateur scene.

The "Old School - Classroom", which was again awarded a "green star", is particularly noteworthy. This is awarded for resource -saving gastronomy and rewardes the use of seasonal and regional products, species -appropriate animal husbandry and waste prevention. It is a sign of the time that more and more restaurateurs are relying on sustainable practices. A total of 80 restaurants were awarded a “green star” in Germany.

A look at the development

How the SWP last year had a few one-star restaurants last year. It is striking that the region now has another decline compared to 2024. Despite the acceptance, the gastronomy in the region remains very popular, even if the number of stars decreases.

The Michelin rating has a long tradition - from the first award of the stars in Germany in 1966 to the present day. The test by the Michelin testers remains the yardstick for many restaurants and an opportunity to position themselves in their respective markets.

For the time of culinary change, it remains to be hoped that the catering scene in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will succeed in holding on to the star cuisine and, if necessary, even to be linked to the successful 8-star number in the future.
