March update: 69 restaurants achieve new top scores in the rankings

The JAN restaurant in Munich confirms its first place in the restaurant rankings for Germany in March. It has been the best restaurant in Germany since February 2025, the second month in a row. Jan Hartwig achieved an unchanged 140.1 points in the ranking, which is 0.3 more than the restaurant in second place, Rutz in Berlin, which had led the ranking since January 2024. The Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn remains in third place. The update takes into account new ratings that were recorded in January 2025.

Aqua in Wolfsburg and Sonnora in Dreis are tied in fourth place. Victor's Fine Dining by Christian Bau in Perl-Nennig and the Schanz in Piesport in sixth place also confirm their rankings from the previous month. The Bareiss in Baiersbronn remains in eighth place. The ES:SENZ in Grassau continues its rise in the restaurant rankings. It had already achieved a new record in the previous month with twelfth place and has now climbed to ninth place. This puts the restaurant in the top 10 of the ranking for the first time. As a result, The Table Kevin Fehling in Hamburg has dropped one place and is now in tenth place.

In the Top20, Lafleur in Frankfurt am Main improved to 17th place, achieving a new record. The Louis in Saarlouis has also improved by one place, achieving a new record of 28th place. The Esplanade in Saarbrücken is in the top 30 for the first time, now in 29th place. The Tantris in Munich also improved on the previous year, moving up from 16th to 14th place and sharing this position with the Berlin restaurant Tim Raue , as both achieved the same number of points. The latter continues to improve and is now in 18th place - its best score since May 2023. Söl'ring Hof on Sylt is also back in the top 20, moving up from 21st to 19th place.

In the Top50, the Hamburg 100/200 achieved a new record in 42nd place. This also applies to Lakeside in Hamburg, which now occupies 44th place. In the Top100, the following restaurants are better placed than ever before: VOTUM in Hanover (57th place), STORSTAD in Regensburg (66th place), Gourmetrestaurant Nico Burkhardt in Schorndorf (70th place), Seestern in Ulm (72nd place), the gourmet restaurant PUR in Berchtesgaden (75th place), Zeik in Hamburg (80th place), Schwitzer's Gourmet-Restaurant in Waldbronn (84th place) and Sparkling Bistro in Munich (95th place).

Compared to the beginning of January, 250 restaurants received a higher score or were newly included in the ranking. Felix in Hamburg collected the most points in one month. 119 restaurants received fewer points than at the beginning of February.
