Michelin-stars 2025: hope Neu-Ulm and Ulm for new awards?

Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland - The tension increases in Ulm and Neu-Ulm, because today, on June 17, 2025, the Michelin-star ceremony expected with great anticipation takes place. The event will be held in Frankfurt am Main, more precisely in the Palmengarten Society House, and followed by many people via live broadcast on YouTube and Facebook. Insiders are excited to see whether the region is being considered with new stars. In particular, the "Stephans Stuben" restaurant in Neu-Ulm is a hot candidate for the coveted award. In view of the rumors and high expectations, the gourmet temple could soon see its first star.

Ulm can already look forward to two star restaurants: "Seestern", the gourmet restaurant of the hotel "Lago", has held this award for many years and has attracted connoisseurs from all over the region. The “BI: BRODD” restaurant in comparison has also successfully established itself in the star sky. In the wider area, "Dining room in the Upper Swabian Hof" in Schwendi and "Hochzwei" in Langenau can also look forward to their stars. The observations of the Michelin inspectors run all year round and provide information about the high level of German gastronomy. Gwendal Pullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guide, repeatedly emphasizes how remarkable the culinary offer in Germany is. The inspectors assess restaurants anonymously according to fixed criteria that range from the quality of the dishes to service.

new trends and awards

In 2025, the Michelin guide already presented numerous new restaurants in Germany. These include, for example, “Le Canard” in Hamburg with modern-French cuisine and “Das Obers” in Munich, which is characterized by Austrian influences. The variety of newcomers ranges from creative dishes to parts to regional delicacies to innovative concepts that enliven the catering scene. In total, 36 new restaurants were already presented in the first months of this year, which are highlighted on the guides' website, which gives the German restaurant landscape a fresh wind.

The annual event is not only a platform for the awarding of stars, but also offers the option of distinguishing environmentally conscious gastronomy through green stars and good price-performance ratio through BIB Gourmand. Anyone who thinks that the star celebrations are only for the big cities is wrong. Local heroes and emerging chefs also have the chance to make a name for themselves and maybe soon appear on the radar as star candidates.

Local hopes for Michelin-stars

Regional gastronomy lives from the exchange and the quality of the dishes. The anticipation in Ulm and Neu-Ulm is particularly large because the culinary masterpieces prepared in recent times are attached great importance. In particular, the "Stephan Stuben" has made a name for itself, and the chances are good that the inspectors will find it again here. The region's gastronomic minds are optimistic and ready for the challenge of inspiring the Michelin guests.

How the star history for domestic gastronomy will develop remains to be seen. What is certain is that in Ulm and Neu-Ulm there is a lot of look at the current announcement of Michelin. One thing is certain - the passion for good food and the art of preparation remain, and the region can be proud of its culinary diversity. We keep our ears and eyes open and are excited to see which new shiny stars let us become gastronomy.
