Germany has become a hotbed for Michelin rated restaurants.

Car fans will know Volkswagen's Autostadt attraction in Wolfsburg. In the middle, the Aqua restaurant awaits diners with its acclaimed food. Three-star chef Sven Elverfeld is the innovator at the helm.

Thomas Bühner at La Vie in Osnabrück likewise conjures up short lived works of art on a plate. What really interests him is coaxing unique sensations and the very best in taste from a product. Just recently he was awarded his third Michelin star.

Then, near Cologne, there's the pretty town of Bergisch Gladbach, where you can dine at two Michelin restaurants in a single day. Acclaimed chefs Nils Henkel and Joachim Wissler have joined forces. A limousine service brings guests from one maestro's restaurant to the other.
