All you need to know about classification

If you live and breathe Bavarian cuisine, you should be rewarded for it. With the classification „Highly Commended Bavarian Cuisine“ we’re placing the spotlight on regional cuisine. Each area of Bavaria has its own typical ingredients, dishes and preparation techniques. These dominate the image of the region and are as important for making locals feel at home as they are to interested tourists. The aim of the „Highly Commended Bavarian Cuisine“ scheme is to utilise these strengths in a targeted way and enable people to experience the wealth of regional cuisine.

Guests are also becoming more demanding in terms of their requirements and wishes. They want a clear overview based on reliable criteria to help them choose the business that offers the best food and atmosphere.

More about our evaluation criteria

As a proprietor, you can use the opportunity afforded by the „Highly Commended Bavarian Cuisine“ seal to showcase your business in a clear and positive way. Your involvement also means that the new quality seal will become a symbol for a high-quality authentic food culture that is typical of the region.

Prerequisites for participation
The classification is aimed at gastronomes throughout Bavaria who promote and want to develop Bavarian pub and food culture and who place importance on culinary tradition. Classification is voluntary. Each business decides whether or not it wants to take part in the process and can withdraw at any time. The transparency of the criteria means that each business will be able to ascertain how it is likely it is to be classified in a particular category.
Who carries out the classification?
In order to guarantee complete neutrality, DEHOGA Bayern e.V. and the Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry have commissioned Bayern Tourist GmbH (BTG) to act as the classification company for the Highly Commended Bavarian Cuisine seal. The BTG already manages the German hotel and G-classification scheme for Bavaria, as well as the Bayerische Wirtebrief and ServiceQualität Deutschland certification in Bavaria. Additional information about the BTG can be obtained from www.btg-service.de.
What does it cost?
Costs for three years of valid classification are €468.00 for members of DEHOGA Bayern, €585.00 for non-members of DEHOGA Bayern plus the legally applicable VAT
How is compliance with conditions monitored?
DEHOGA Bayern and the Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry work together to specify the evaluation criteria and conditions under which classification is granted and also monitor the scheme in their role as classification awarder. All businesses that wish to be classified and have registered will be inspected at their premises.
