Loud

The impact of a meteorite is loud – just like the bold self-confidence that’s taken hold of Austrian cuisine. What began as a spectacle sparked real reactions: the Michelin stars lit up timelines, made headlines, and stirred curiosity far beyond Austria. And while the meteorite was added in post, its momentum was very real. Behind all that noise lies something grounded: Not spice from space, but the fire in the hearts of Austria’s chefs, rooted in family traditions, local ingredients and a deep respect for the land.

When soup lifts off the plate, you know something’s landed. Because when excellence arrives, it doesn’t whisper – it splashes. A Michelin star doesn’t just impress guests. It creates moments. It shifts the mood. Everyone feels that kind of impact in Austria’s restaurants: from the kitchen to the dining room – and far beyond the plate.

Here

We aimed for the stars – and found our roots instead. Because the future of food is grounded. In soil, in people, in communities. Behind every Green Star is a commitment: to local sourcing, short supply chains, and fair collaboration with regional producers. It’s not just about taste – it’s about trust. The sparkle may come from above, but the real magic grows from below.

Vibe

This isn’t just about stars, plates, or praise. It’s about the Lebensgefühl. Austria is full of culinary originals – from famous classics to under-the-radar regional gems. The dishes, ingredients, makers, places, and rituals aren’t copied – they’re deeply Austrian. You can taste it, smell it, hear it – in the clatter of the kitchen and the quiet of the countryside. What grows here comes with character. And what’s served here comes with soul.
