2025 Michelin One Star Restaurants: The Complete List

Mod by Sven Nöthel holds a Michelin star earned in both 2024 and 2025, placing it among a small group of fine-dining addresses in the Ruhr region operating at that recognition level. Located in Duisburg-Walsum at Grafschafter Str. 197A, the restaurant works in modern cuisine and draws a 4.9 Google rating from 243 reviews — a consistency score that few starred kitchens sustain.

L'Empreinte holds a Michelin star in Buxy, a quiet Burgundian village in the Côte Chalonnaise where fine dining typically means driving to Beaune or Lyon. Chef Jérôme Laurent's modern cuisine earns a 4.7 from 338 Google reviews, placing it among the most consistently rated restaurants in the subregion. At €€€ pricing, it occupies a realistic bracket for serious cooking outside the region's major cities.

Werneckhof Sigi Schelling holds a Michelin star and a place on the 2026 La Liste ranking in Munich's Schwabing district, serving French contemporary cuisine at Werneckstraße 11. The restaurant has appeared consecutively on Opinionated About Dining's European Classical list since 2023, signalling consistent peer recognition across multiple independent ranking systems. For Munich's fine-dining circuit, it occupies a specific bracket: classically grounded French cooking with the credentials to match.

Sawito earned its first Michelin star in 2025, a meaningful signal for a farm-to-table restaurant operating outside the major German dining centres in Falkensee, just west of Berlin. Chef Juan Ventureyra's kitchen works within a produce-led framework that the Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 had already flagged as serious. At the €€€ price point, it sits below the city-centre fine dining tier while competing on ingredient discipline.

Pearl by Paul Proffitt holds a Michelin star and a Star Wine List White Star recognition in Kruså, a small Danish town on the German border where destination dining is rare. The restaurant represents a strand of modern cuisine that has taken root outside Denmark's major cities, placing it alongside a broader provincial fine-dining pattern emerging across Scandinavia. For travellers already crossing into southern Jutland, it earns a serious detour.

Dôme holds a Michelin star and the top position on Star Wine List's Antwerp ranking, operating as a classically anchored French kitchen with a wine program weighted toward Burgundy, France, and Germany. The format runs lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, closed Monday and Sunday, with a 610-selection list drawing from a cellar of 5,000 bottles.

A Michelin-starred table in the heart of Bonnieux, JU - Maison de Cuisine puts Provençal terroir at the centre of a daily carte blanche menu shaped by Algerian-influenced spice and an unusually vegetable-forward approach. Chef Julien Allano's stone-walled room draws an international clientele to a village the gastronomic world has firmly rediscovered. Rated Remarkable by We're Smart.

A Michelin-starred Italian contemporary restaurant in Benissa's Marina Alta, Casa Bernardi brings northern Italian technique to the Alicante coast. Chef Ferdinando Bernardi, originally from Rimini, structures his kitchen around two tasting menus built on locally sourced Alicante produce, al dente pasta craft, and a terrace with sea views above the residential hillside.

A Michelin-starred table in the village of Biot, Les Terraillers occupies a former potter's studio where the original kiln now serves as the lounge. Chef Michaël Fulci trained under Alain Ducasse and Roger Vergé before channelling that lineage into a market-driven Mediterranean menu built around Menton lemons, courgette flowers, Vaucluse black truffle, and Alba white truffle. Google reviewers rate it 4.7 from 586 reviews.

Among Prague's Michelin-starred addresses, La Dégustation Bohème Bourgeoise occupies a specific position: a Czech-French tasting counter where seasonality and native ingredients drive a set menu format that has earned consistent international recognition, including a Michelin star and a Star Wine List top ranking. The vaulted dining room on Haštalská, with its open kitchen and curated wine programme, draws a clientele that returns for the discipline of the format as much as the food itself.

A Michelin-starred Tuscan restaurant in Geneva's Eaux-Vives neighbourhood, Tosca holds a distinct position among the city's Italian dining options: focused, ingredient-led cooking from Chef Ivan Baretti, a wine list of 2,300 references with particular depth in Tuscany, and a room dressed in frescoes and velvet that signals a deliberate commitment to the traditions it serves.

Stephans Stuben by Marco Langer earned its first Michelin star in 2025, placing this creative kitchen on Bahnhofstraße among Germany's most closely watched provincial dining rooms.

Solstice by Kenny Atkinson is a 14-seat tasting counter on Newcastle's Quayside, operating Wednesday through Saturday with a no-choice menu of up to 19 courses priced at £175 per head. Holding a Michelin star since 2024 and scoring 83 points in La Liste's 2026 ranking, it sits above its sibling House of Tides in ambition and price, with locally sourced seafood and Northumberland produce forming the backbone of a technically precise menu.

A Michelin-starred address in the Bois de Boulogne, La Grande Cascade operates from a Second Empire pavilion that has anchored the western edge of Parisian fine dining for well over a century. Under Chef Gilles Dudognon, the kitchen holds to classic cuisine with the discipline that earned consecutive Michelin stars in 2024 and 2025. Few restaurants in Paris combine this depth of architectural heritage with a sustained record of formal recognition.

A Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in Nara's Imamikadocho district, Okada holds consecutive one-star recognition for 2024 and 2025 under the direction of chef Alexis Voisenet.

Rogan & Co holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining Top 120 ranking, operating out of a cottage beside the Cartmel stream with head chef Liam Fitzpatrick cooking from Simon Rogan's Our Farm supply chain. The format is shorter and more relaxed than L'Enclume, with lunch and dinner service Wednesday through Saturday at ££££ pricing.

A Michelin-starred family restaurant in Roero that has anchored its identity in Piedmontese tradition since 1956, Il Centro in Priocca draws serious diners for its agnolotti del plin, finanziera stew, and a seasonal fritto misto that books out months in advance.

Smoked Room at The Palm Jumeirah holds a Michelin star and a top-45 ranking in the World's 50 Best MENA list for 2024, placing it among Dubai's most critically recognised contemporary tables.

Lei Garden (Yuexiu) holds a Michelin star and Black Pearl Diamond alongside a La Liste score of 79 points, placing it in the upper tier of Guangzhou's Cantonese dining scene. The ¥¥ price point makes it notably accessible relative to its award set, and Google ratings reflect a steady following rather than hype-driven discovery. For serious Cantonese cooking at a mid-range price, few addresses in Tianhe carry equivalent formal recognition.

MiZAR earned its first Michelin star in 2025, confirming Chef Deni Srdoč's creative kitchen as one of Würzburg's most serious dining addresses. Occupying a compact space on Katzengasse 7, the restaurant sits at the intersection of Franconian produce and contemporary European technique. For a city better known for its Silvaner than its fine dining, MiZAR represents a meaningful shift in ambition.

A Michelin-starred address on Gijón's marina breakwater, Auga holds a one-star rating (2024) and a €€€ price point that positions it at the upper end of the city's dining scene.

The Macau outpost of Umberto Bombana's celebrated Italian fine-dining group, 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana sits inside Galaxy Macau and holds a Black Pearl Diamond (2025) alongside La Liste recognition at 85 points (2026).

Few restaurants in the Dolomites carry the same biographical weight as Malga Panna, a one-Michelin-starred address in Moena that traces its roots to a working alpine farmstead converted in the 1950s. Operating at the €€€ tier with two tasting menus and an à la carte selection, it positions Trentino tradition against Mediterranean technique in a glass-walled dining room with views across Val di Fassa.

Holding a Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025, ROTER HAHN by Maximilian Schmidt operates from a medieval lane in Regensburg's UNESCO-listed old town.

For Regensburg, this address represents the upper tier of the local scene.

A Michelin-starred address on the rural edge of Llanes, El Retiro operates inside a three-generation family property that spans an informal bistro and a dedicated tasting menu room.

't Stoveke holds a Michelin star in Strombeek-Bever, a quiet Flemish commune just north of Brussels, where it brings modern cuisine to a setting far removed from the capital's restaurant theatre. With a 4.7 Google rating across 351 reviews, it occupies the €€€ price tier — a considered step below Belgium's most expensive tasting-menu tables, and a reliable entry point into the country's serious dining circuit.

A Michelin-starred former shop unit on a quiet Salisbury Place side street, Condita operates six tables and a fully surprise menu that changes with the seasons. Since opening in 2018, it has built a reputation for technically considered cooking that draws on Scottish produce, foraging, and occasional Asian inflections. The wine list goes deep on a small selection of producers rather than wide across regions.

A Michelin-starred restaurant with rooms in Lancashire's Ribble Valley, Northcote has anchored serious northern dining for over four decades. Under Lisa Goodwin-Allen's kitchen leadership and Craig Bancroft's front-of-house stewardship, the cooking draws on local, biodynamic and organic produce to deliver modern British food with genuine regional identity. La Liste ranked it 87 points in 2026, placing it comfortably among the country's most consistent destination restaurants outside London.

YŌSO holds a Michelin star (2024) for its omakase kaiseki counter in Alcântara, where a ten-seat sushi bar and a single tasting menu built around Portuguese coastal fish define the format.

A Michelin-starred French restaurant in Wandsworth that has held a consistently high standard for over two decades, Chez Bruce sits at the more accessible end of London's serious cooking tier.

ZweiSinn Meiers | Fine Dining holds a Michelin star — retained through both 2024 and 2025 — placing it firmly within Nuremberg's small tier of destination-grade restaurants. Chef Stefan Meier works in the creative format, where the kitchen's ambitions reach beyond regional convention. For a milestone dinner in a city more often associated with market bratwurst than white-tablecloth cooking, it represents one of the most considered choices on the local map.

Bar Amour holds a Michelin star for the second consecutive year in 2025, placing it among Oslo's recognised creative dining addresses at the €€€ tier. Located on Waldemar Thranes gate in the Bislett neighbourhood, it operates as a counterpoint to the city's higher-priced tasting-menu circuit, with a 4.7 Google rating across early reviews signalling consistent execution. For Oslo's one-star bracket, it represents an accessible entry point to the city's ambitious cooking without the four-course price commitment of peers like Kontrast or Maaemo.

In the 16th‑century Hôtel de Talmay, Loiseau des Ducs in Dijon refines Burgundian classics—think hay‑smoked œuf en meurette and herb‑laced escargots—with a Michelin‑starred polish and a Burgundy‑driven wine program.

A Michelin-starred room in Porto San Giorgio's old town, Retroscena operates at the quieter, more considered end of Italy's Adriatic creative dining circuit. Chef Richard Abou Zaki works a compact menu shaped by acidity-forward technique and a culinary background rooted in Modena, producing food that earns its place among the Marche coast's most serious kitchens. Ranked 350th in Opinionated About Dining's 2025 European list, it rewards the detour.

Perched above the glittering coastline, Villa Salone invites discerning travelers into a world where time slows and flavors deepen. Candlelit salons, limestone terraces, and sweeping sea vistas set the stage for a tasting journey that marries Mediterranean luminosity with haute technique. Each course is orchestrated with quiet confidence—rare shellfish bathed in citrus oils, garden herbs clipped moments before service, sauces polished to silk—while a cellar of European classics and cult discoveries is curated to whisper of seasons and terroir. Service is poised yet warm, a choreography that anticipates without intruding. For those who live for singular meals, Villa Salone feels less like dinner and more like possession of a perfect evening—an elegant hush, a lingering finish, and the thrill of having discovered the address everyone hopes to keep secret.

Michelin one-star Caruso's sits within Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, serving a seafood-forward, Italian-leaning tasting menu with direct Pacific views. Chef Massimo Falsini builds each course around hyper-local ingredients — Santa Barbara uni, onsite-garden produce, and coastal California seafood. Reserve at least a week ahead; patio tables facing the ocean book fastest.

A Michelin-starred address on Boulevard d'Ypres, Barge places organic, producer-led cooking at the centre of a considered dining ritual. Chef Grégoire Gillard, formerly right hand to Sang Hoon Degeimbre at L'Air du Temps, composes menus around local seasonal vegetables, with sommelier partner Barbara shaping a cellar that matches the kitchen's discipline. Ranked 562nd in Opinionated About Dining's 2025 European list, it occupies a specific and serious tier within Brussels fine dining.

Le Restaurant des Rois holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining Classical in Europe ranking inside La Réserve de Beaulieu, one of the Côte d'Azur's most storied palace hotels.

The kitchen operates lunch and dinner daily, placing it in a small tier of formal dining rooms on this stretch of coast.

Google reviewers give it a perfect five-star average across one hundred ratings.

A Michelin-starred institution on Avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lasserre has anchored the 8th arrondissement's grand dining tradition for over 80 years.

A Michelin-starred French contemporary address in Taichung's Taiping District, L'Atelier par Yao operates Tuesday through Saturday evenings from a two-floor room of concrete walls, dark green drapes, and handmade local pottery.

Holding a Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025, Burg Nideggen - Brockel Schlimbach brings modern cuisine to a medieval town in the Eifel region, operating at a price tier that signals serious culinary intent well outside Germany's main gastronomic centres. With a Google rating of 4.4 across nearly 400 reviews, it sits in a category where critical recognition and local loyalty rarely contradict each other.

A Michelin-starred kaiseki counter on East 10th Street, Tsukimi has climbed from Opinionated About Dining's Highly Recommended list in 2023 to a top-205 North America ranking by 2025. Chef Takinori Akayama's seasonal progression reads as disciplined and precise, shaped by a moon-viewing aesthetic that extends from the menu structure to the ceramics lining the walls.

Umu holds a Michelin star and ranks among Europe's top 300 restaurants, serving Kyoto-influenced kaiseki in a discreet Mayfair townhouse on Bruton Place.

Co-headed by Arne Riehn and David Hartwig under the Andreas Caminada lineage, the simultaneously served tasting menu is structured for the table, making it one of Bangkok's more considered venues for a milestone meal.

A Michelin-starred fixture on Piazza Solferino, Vintage 1997 has held its ground for nearly three decades by committing to Piedmontese ingredient purity over trend-chasing.

Inside the Publicis Drugstore on the Champs-Élysées, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon holds a Michelin star and a consistent place in Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe rankings, placing it among Paris's most credentialed counter-dining addresses. Chefs Eric Bouchenoire and Thierry Karakachian run a format built on the Robuchon atelier model: open kitchen, counter seating, and a French menu structured around technical precision rather than theatrical flourish.

A Michelin-starred fixture on a quiet Kensington side street, Kitchen W8 has held its place in London's modern British dining conversation by doing something harder than spectacle: being reliably good. Chef Mark Kempson's cooking draws on classical French structure with Mediterranean inflections, served in a room that feels genuinely neighbourhood without sacrificing kitchen ambition. Ranked 302nd in Opinionated About Dining's 2024 European list, it earns its place in the upper tier of London's mid-formal dining category.

Occupying a 19th-century mansion above the Loire with panoramic views of the Île de Nantes, L'Atlantide 1874 holds a Michelin star under Jean-Yves Guého, whose training at Alsace's Auberge de l'Ill and stints in New Orleans and Hong Kong inform a modern French menu where fish drives the agenda. The Loire wine list and guestrooms with river views complete a serious overnight proposition.

Le Vivier holds a Michelin star in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, a Provençal antique-trade town better known for its Sunday markets than its dining ambition. Chef Romain Gandolphe works a short-window service across four days a week, with a terrace positioned directly above the River Sorgue. The wine list draws on regional appellations, and the dining room keeps a contemporary register that separates it from the town's more rustic options.

Inside a period palazzo steps from one of Modena's oldest churches, L'Erba del Re holds a Michelin star and nine tables. The menu architecture is its defining quality: four distinct paths through Emilian tradition and contemporary creative cooking, from tortellini in capon broth to the chef's latest tasting courses, making it one of the city's most considered mid-to-fine dining options.

Behind wrought-iron railings on Rue de Forbin, Belle de Mars delivers Mediterranean-inflected modern cuisine at a price point that makes it one of the more accessible serious tables in Marseille.

On Zwolle's Nieuwe Markt, Brass Boer Thuis holds a Michelin star while deliberately keeping the mood relaxed and convivial. The kitchen, guided by Jonnie and Thérèse Boer, draws on local Overijssel produce and a wood fire to build dishes that are original without being theatrical. It occupies a distinct position in Zwolle's dining scene: star-level technique served at a pace that feels closer to a long dinner with friends than a formal tasting.

La Société holds a Michelin star and a 2026 La Liste placement of 78 points, operating at the top of Cologne's modern cuisine tier on Kyffhäuserstraße in the Belgisches Viertel.

Récif holds a Michelin star (2024) inside Les Roches Rouges Hotel on Saint-Raphaël's Corniche d'Or, where the red Estérel cliffs meet the Mediterranean.

At the €€€€ price tier, it sits among the Côte d'Azur's most considered fine-dining addresses.

Seoul's first restaurant to earn both a Michelin star and a perfect five-radish score from We're Smart, Légume operates entirely within a 100% plant-based kitchen on Gangnam-daero. Chef Siwoo Sung brings a seasonal, produce-led approach to Korean vegetable traditions, producing a menu that positions vegan fine dining as a serious culinary category rather than a dietary compromise.

Set within Castel Fragsburg, five kilometres above Merano through forest roads, Prezioso holds one Michelin star (2025) and a La Liste score of 90 points (2026). Chef Egon Heiss runs a single tasting menu built almost entirely from ingredients grown in the castle's kitchen garden or sourced from nearby mountain valleys, with Alpine char, trout, wild game, and Val di Funes lamb appearing as recurring anchors.

Awarded a Michelin star in 2024, Le Relais de la Poste has occupied the same address in La Wantzenau since 1789, though its refurbished dining room and contemporary menu bear little resemblance to that founding era. The kitchen leans into Alsatian produce through a modern lens, pairing crispy scallops and squab pigeon preparations with a wine cellar that draws consistent praise. Service is polished and the conservatory opens onto a garden patio.

Tucked within Soho’s storied streets, Kettner’s Kamota offers a hushed, luminous refuge where Kyoto-bred precision meets London’s glittering energy. An intimate chef’s counter and a scattering of velvet-clad tables set the stage for an omakase-driven journey—sashimi that tastes of tide and moonlight, binchotan-kissed morsels, and seasonal compositions that balance restraint with quiet drama. Crystal stemware, the soft hush of hand-thrown ceramics, and a curated sake and rare whisky list heighten each course, while the service—attentive, almost telepathic—moves with unhurried grace. For travelers who collect singular moments, Kettner’s Kamota offers a rarefied dinner that lingers like a secret shared in confidence.

A Michelin-starred table in the Provençal village of Gémenos, La Magdeleine - Mathias Dandine earns its 2025 star through a Mediterranean lens shaped by olive oil traditions, seasonal produce, and the agricultural rhythms of the Bouches-du-Rhône.

Inside the Ritz Paris on Place Vendôme, Espadon holds a Michelin star under chef Eugénie Béziat and a White Star recognition from Star Wine List.

A Google rating of 4.2 across 57 reviews suggests a focused, selective clientele rather than high-volume throughput.

A Michelin-starred restaurant in Selva di Val Gardena where Mediterranean technique meets Alpine setting.

The wine list, organised by grape variety, spans Italy's most respected labels alongside international selections at the €€€€ price tier.

A Michelin Plate-recognised address on Rue Corneille, Racines brings a Breton culinary sensibility to the south of France.

Open for lunch Tuesday through Friday and dinner Tuesday through Saturday.

Vern's earned a Michelin star and a Resy Best of the Hit List nod in 2025, placing it among the most closely watched contemporary American tables in Charleston.

For a city that built its reputation on coastal abundance, Vern's argues that structure and restraint can be just as defining.

Mavrommatis has held a Michelin star continuously since at least 2024, making it the only Greek restaurant in Paris operating at this recognition tier. Located on Rue Daubenton in the 5th arrondissement, it sits at the €€€€ price point and carries an EP Club Remarkable designation. The 825-review Google average of 4.5 reflects sustained diner approval across a long operational history.

Elsa earned its first Michelin star in 2025, a recognition that validates the restaurant's commitment to Mediterranean cooking rooted in open-flame technique and minimal intervention. Positioned at the top of Monaco's price tier alongside a small cluster of starred peers, it represents the principality's growing confidence in ingredient-led cuisine over classical French formalism. Book well in advance; the dining room's profile has risen sharply since the Michelin Plate award in 2024.

Bon Bon holds a Michelin star and sits at the highest point in the Algarve, trading coastal panoramas for a view across inland hills that already sets it apart from the region's seafront dining circuit. Chef José Lopes anchors his menus in Algarve produce and recipes, then layers in traces of his grandmother's Indian heritage, producing a modern Portuguese table that draws on both the land and the sea below it.

Oxte holds a Michelin star on Rue Troyon in Paris's 17th arrondissement, where chef Enrique Casarrubias fuses Mexican technique with French seasonal produce. The compact dining room runs tight sittings across lunch and dinner, five days a week. Seasonal moles, recado negro, and a celebrated avocado-mezcal-lime dessert define a menu that moves between two culinary traditions without compromise.

La Palme d'Or occupies a storied position on the Croisette inside Hôtel Martinez, where the dining room's cinema-era décor sets the stage for a menu that places Provence and the Mediterranean at the centre.

Open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 PM, reservations are advised well in advance.

Behind a striking blue façade on Rue de Saint-Simon in the 7th arrondissement, Gaya par Pierre Gagnaire holds a Michelin star for seafood-forward modern cuisine that trades formality for precision. The menu orbits the ocean — carpaccio, cured roe, langoustines — while the room reads as a chic brasserie rather than a grand dining room. For 7th-arrondissement dining at €€€ pricing, it occupies a distinct niche between neighbourhood bistro and full haute-cuisine theatre.

Set within the Byblos Art Hotel in Corrubbio di Negarine, Amistà holds a Michelin star (2024) for contemporary Italian cooking that draws on Veneto tradition while moving clearly forward. Two tasting menus and an à la carte option serve four evenings a week, backed by a wine list of over 1,500 labels. The setting — a historic villa layered with modern art — frames the experience as much as the kitchen does.
