There is a new two-star restaurant in Rhineland-Palatinate: In the Michelin Guide for 2023 presented on Tuesday, the “L.A. Jordan” in the Hotel Ketschauer Hof in Deidesheim with chef de cuisine Daniel Schimkowitsch rose from one to two stars. The “Purs” in Andernach and the “Steinheuers Restaurant Zur Alten Post” in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler also have two stars.
As three-star restaurants in Rhineland-Palatinate, the “schanz.restaurant.” in Piesport and the “Waldhotel Sonnora” in Dreis – both in the district of Bernkastel-Wittlich.
The restaurants “Verbene” in Koblenz, “Borst” in Maßweiler, “Bagatelle” in Trier and “Intense” in Wachenheim an der Weinstrasse were newly honored with their first Michelin star. There are now 21 one-star restaurants nationwide.
Five restaurants in Rhineland-Palatinate, on the other hand, lost their stars, including “Yoso” in Koblenz and “Zur Krone” in Neupotz. In Saarland, a restaurant lost its star.
“Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau” in Perl in the Merzig-Wadern district also has three stars in Saarland. Bau was honored this year for the special performance of the restaurant teams: as a “mentor chef”, who “imparts valuable know-how to many young chefs and thus makes a valuable contribution to the promotion of young people in gastronomy,” it said.
For him, good service means “a warm and friendly atmosphere” – competent but never lecturing, emphasized Bau. At the same time he appealed to all chefs: “We have had to fight for guests for many years, now we have to fight for staff.” We must now stick together and fight together for fair working conditions and wages.
In Saarland, the three two-star restaurants “Esplanade” and “Gästehaus Klaus Erfort” in Saarbrücken and the “Louis Restaurant” in Saarlouis are also on the list.
Behind the “Guide Michelin” is the French tire manufacturer of the same name. The restaurant guide awards its stars for excellent restaurants. Nationwide, 334 restaurants received one or more stars this time. This is a new record.
“Despite an economically difficult time and a shortage of skilled workers, the choice of restaurants for 2023 once again confirms the diverse range and the consistently high level of German gastronomy,” said Michelin.
