Shower of MICHELIN Stars for Austria: Outstanding Culinary Achievements Honoured at the MICHELIN Guide Ceremony
On 21 January 2025, outstanding culinary achievements were recognised at The MICHELIN Guide Ceremony in Salzburg. The return of the MICHELIN Guide, as well as the ceremony, was initiated and jointly organised by Austria Tourism and the provincial tourism associations. Visitors and locals can now choose with confidence a restaurant for their next outstanding culinary experience.
The long awaited MICHELIN Guide Austria edition has been launched.
82 MICHELIN Stars, 33 Green Stars and 43 Bib Gourmands were awarded across all nine provinces in Austria.
The MICHELIN Guide’s restaurant selection not only spotlights the country’s culinary diversity but also underscores the great importance it places on gastronomy and the international orientation of Austria as a culinary and tourism destination. Restaurants in all Austrian provinces were tested, underpinning regional diversity as the key to Austria's culinary prominence.
The MICHELIN Guide rates restaurants according to five criteria that are the same worldwide: quality of the ingredients, mastery of the cooking techniques, originality of the cuisine, and consistency both through time and the menu as a whole. The restaurant evaluation is done by full-time inspectors who conduct their tests in complete anonymity and according to clearly defined and objective criteria. In the future, Austrian restaurants will be tested once a year.
