Overview
- TUI released a 2026 Schnitzel ranking for Germany, Austria and Switzerland in May, assessing 212 restaurants with data on Google popularity, price, meat type and an AI photo score.
- Vienna’s Figlmüller Bäckerstraße ranks first overall with a score of 84.68, while Berlin’s Schnitzelei Mitte leads the Germany list with 77.07 ahead of Ottenthal.
- TUI analyzed 147 German venues and found Berlin especially strong, with several city restaurants landing in the national top 20.
- Prices diverge sharply across borders, with an average of €25.92 per plate in Germany versus €50.08 in Switzerland, which helped keep Swiss entries out of the DACH top 20 despite solid quality scores.
- Reporters note there were no tastings and that ChatGPT judged photos for browning, crust, size and presentation without independent checks, so the results have clear limits.
