Guide
Schlemmer Atlas (Busche Verlag) — one of the longest-standing German-language restaurant guides, covering Germany, Austria, Switzerland and South Tyrol. Restaurants are rated on a 1-5 Kochloeffel (cooking spoon) scale in half increments (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5). The guide also confers the GreenSpoon sustainability seal (GreenSpoon-Siegel) for responsible and future-oriented restaurant operations. Anonymous inspector evaluation, no crowdsourced ratings.
