The choice of SalzburgerLand as the venue for the event is a testament to the outstanding reputation of Salzburg’s cuisine, as well as the region’s long-standing commitment to the return of the Michelin Guide. SalzburgerLand is home to not only exceptional restaurateurs but also the highest concentration of organic farmers in Europe, who produce high-quality food. For many chefs, this local, seasonal bounty serves as the foundation for their creative dishes, helping to establish SalzburgerLand as a sought-after gourmet destination.

The Michelin Guide represents the highest quality and recognizes the culinary excellence that SalzburgerLand embodies – making it even more visible,” emphasizes Leo Bauernberger, Managing Director of SalzburgerLand Tourismus GmbH. “Culinary enthusiasts around the world follow the recommendations of the international ‘gourmet bible’; for 80 percent of them, regional specialties and a high-quality culinary experience are essential for their travel plans. Alpine cuisine in SalzburgerLand stands for regionality, seasonality, and the strengthening of local economic cycles. I am therefore particularly pleased that restaurants from every region – from the city of Salzburg to Tennengau, Pongau, Pinzgau, and Lungau – have been awarded Michelin stars.
