Leipzig (dpa / sn) - In Saxony, a restaurant has been added to the guild of gourmet temples with a Michelin star.
"Frieda" in Leipzig received a star in the edition of the hotel and restaurant guide presented in Frankfurt on Friday.
There are now a total of eight restaurants in Saxony with at least one Michelin star, including the “Caroussel”, the “bean & beluga” and the “Elements” in Dresden, but also the “Jewel” in Kirschau in East Saxony, the “Atelier Sanssouci” in Radebeul and the «Stadtpfeiffer» in Leipzig.
King of the top Saxon chefs, however, remains Peter Maria Schnurr from the “Falco” in Leipzig, which is the only restaurant in Saxony to be awarded two stars.
The Michelin Guide lists a total of 310 gourmet restaurants in Germany.
Strongholds for gourmets are megacities such as Berlin, Hamburg and Munich.
The Michelin Guide goes on sale on March 10th.
The first Michelin stars in Germany were awarded in 1966.
Since then, there has been a lot of excitement in the industry about who gets one of the stars, which are awarded for one year, who keeps the coveted award and who even loses it.
