Hamburg's top chef impresses Michelin with unforgettable quail!

The “Guide Michelin” sets sail for culinary discoveries and recently announced the “6 unforgettable dishes of 2025” from German restaurants.

The dish is refined with young spinach scented with fresh mint and a delicately melting eggplant compote. “The visit from the anonymous testers initially stressed me out, but now I’m much more relaxed,” said the master chef in a social media post after receiving the award. Stowasser, who was born in Freising, discovered his passion for cooking early on during his student internship and has since had an impressive career.
