German rankings: Few changes in May

In May 2026, the restaurant rankings for Germany are once again led by a trio. The JAN restaurant in Munich retains the top spot it has held since February 2025. It shares this position with the Rutz in Berlin and the Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn, both of which drew level with the JAN in January 2026. All three restaurants have 119.4 points in the rankings.

The update takes into account 114 changes recorded in April 2026. These primarily consist of new reviews from the Schlemmer-Atlas, as well as updates in Gusto, Feinschmecker and the Michelin Guide. As, with a few exceptions, none of these affect top restaurants, the top of the rankings remains unchanged. Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau in Perl-Nennig remains in fourth place. Schanz in Piesport retains fifth place. It is followed by the restaurants Sonnora in Dreis and Bareiss in Baiersbronn, which are level on points and remain in sixth place. ES:SENZ in Grassau and Haerlin continue to occupy eighth place. Tohru in the Schreiberei in Munich rounds off the top 10 in tenth place, unchanged from last month.

There are no changes in the rankings within the top 50 compared to the previous month. Following an upgrade in Feinschmecker, Zeik in Hamburg has climbed to 63rd place, achieving a new personal best in the rankings. It is followed in 65th place by The Cloud by Käfer in Munich. As the restaurant is now being reviewed in several guides for the first time, it has made a huge leap in the rankings: from 471st place, it has entered the top 100 for the first time.

Details on the calculation method and how many ranking points the restaurant guide reviews yield can be found here. A total of 4,379 restaurants are currently included in the ranking, unchanged from the previous month. Compared to the start of March, 18 restaurants have received a higher score or have been newly included in the ranking. The Cloud by Käfer in Munich has accumulated the most points within a month. Three restaurants have received a lower score than in the previous month. Inclusion in the ranking is automatic and free of charge as soon as a restaurant is reviewed in one of the major restaurant guides and achieves at least 35 ranking points. The restaurant that has accumulated the most points over the past twelve months is also The Cloud by Käfer in Munich, ahead of La Vie by Thomas Bühner in Düsseldorf and Rausch in Frankfurt am Main.
