See Germany's Newest Three-Star: schanz. restaurant.

Located in Piesport on the Moselle river, schanz.restaurant. made the leap from two to three stars in the Michelin Guide Germany 2022, with inspectors praising the 'world class' French-Mediterranean inspired menu, recognising owner and chef Thomas Schanz's talent for creating dishes 'rich in finesse, personality, and expression'.

_{Thomas Schanz}

42-year-old Schanz opened his eponymous restaurant next to his parents' hotel in 2011, receiving his first star the following year, and the second in 2015. The son of fourth-generation winemakers and hoteliers, from an area famous for its Reisling wines, has become known for his fresh cuisine that's big on flavour and product quality, served with wines from his parents’ vineyard.

Schanz was named 'Climber of the Year' by Gault&Millau in 2016, later being crowned 'Chef of the Year' in 2021, when editor-in-chief Christoph Wirtz noted that the chef works without “sponsors and a big PR wind machine” and instead convinces “through meticulous work and a contemporary, complex style based on classic French product cuisine”.
