In the new Restaurant and Inn Guide 2026, Falstaff presents the best restaurants in Germany - from Hamburg and Cologne to Berlin and Munich.

When was the last time you had a good meal? So really good! Just like at home with mom or in the local inn with its down-to-earth cuisine. At the Italian restaurant with the world's best home-made pasta, at the Japanese sushi master or in a chic gourmet restaurant that takes you on a culinary journey through a world of flavors. Do you still remember?

In the new Falstaff Restaurant & Inn Guide, we have summarized these memories and offer you a selection of the good, very good, best and very best restaurants in Germany. Many of them are classics, others are bold newcomers to the culinary scene, which is constantly on the move like no other. After all, hunger and appetite are not a chicanery of nature, but rather a template for the art of cooking, which lives out skill and creativity with technical precision and inspiration, creating something new, changing, modernizing or simply preserving. Try it out and create new, beautiful memories with the help of our guide.
