GermanyDaniel Schimkowitsch, a chef born in Fürstenfeldbruck but based in Munich, has been awarded a third Michelin star by the Guide Michelin at an event in Frankfurt for the year 2026. This recognition places him among the world's 159 top chefs with the highest Michelin rating. Schimkowitsch, who previously worked under renowned three-star chef Christian Jürgens and earned his first Michelin star in 2014 at his restaurant 'L.A. Jordan' in Deidesheim, now operates with a focus on classical French cuisine blended with Mediterranean and Japanese influences. The article highlights his dedication to local ingredients, such as foraging old fruit trees around Deidesheim, and describes his kitchen as vibrant yet focused on essential culinary values. Meanwhile, the closure of Sven Elverfeld’s three-star restaurant 'Aqua' in Wolfsburg marks a significant loss in Germany’s elite gastronomy scene.
