2025 Michelin One Star Restaurants: The Complete List — Page 29

Le Prince Noir is the most technically original restaurant in the greater Bordeaux area: a Michelin-starred, OAD Top 215 address where Vivien Durand reinterprets French culinary conventions with genuine conviction. The atmosphere is deliberately unconventional; rock music, architectural drama, bridge views; and the cooking is worth the trip across the Garonne. Book well in advance.

A Michelin-starred Relais and Châteaux restaurant in a converted Périgord tobacco barn, Le Vieux Logis is the strongest fine dining case in the Dordogne. Chef Vincent Arnould holds the Meilleur Ouvrier de France title and the kitchen's vegetable-forward cooking outpaces the region's traditional fat-heavy defaults. Book at least three to four weeks ahead; dinner slots fill fast and hotel guests get priority.

Angelo Sabatelli is the strongest fine dining case for stopping in Putignano rather than passing through. The €€€ modern creative menu draws on Apulian seasonal produce, served in an intimate 16th-century vaulted stone room with one of the most serious wine cellars in the region; around 3,000 labels. Book for Saturday dinner or Sunday lunch; Tuesday to Thursday is the easiest window.

Craft Omakase has held a Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025, making it Austin's clearest case for serious omakase dining. At $$$$ per head, it competes with comparable programs in New York and San Francisco. Booking is hard; plan four to six weeks out, prioritise Friday or Saturday early seatings, and consider a return visit to get the full value of the format.

Handwerk holds a Michelin star for consecutive years since 2022 and, making it the clearest fine-dining choice in Hanover. At the €€€ tier, it offers starred modern cuisine at a more accessible price point than Jante or Votum. Book four to six weeks out; weekend tables fill fast.

Auberge du Cep holds a Michelin star in the heart of Fleurie and over-delivers at the €€€ price point, making it the strongest case for a special-occasion dinner in the Beaujolais crus. The kitchen under Aurélien Merot stays tightly regional, and the wine list matches the food with real intent. Book four to six weeks out minimum; and prioritise lunch for the best value.
