Service unfriendly at times, insincere at others; no conversation when the question of a bottle of wine was asked … sourdough bread and whipped brown butter was nice. Grainy filled dumpling in the soup. Duck Skin wasn’t crispy and under seasoned with the thick, egg tasting pancakes. Overcooked, slightly shrivelled breast with vinegary pac Choi. Then a small bowl of fried rice. What happened to the glorious bird that was presented to us at the start of the meal. The most satisfying mouthfuls came from the umami broth and a palette cleansing sorbet with citrus’.

I‘ve actually sympathized with going to the Orania Restaurant for at least a couple of years. I guess the trigger was one of the very first articles I‘ve read about the „Peking/Kreuzberg Duck Menu“ and the (intrinsic) stopper probably was the restaurant being a „hotel restaurant“. I‘ve to admit, I gave the place a first check by visiting the Bar for some drinks after a stroll with a friend on Oranienstreet the other day. And guess what, our Bar experience was amazing!
So the Orania Restaurant became my very first choice for this year’s birthday dinner, to finally go for the „mysterious“ Kreuzberg Duck (X-Bergs answer to the Peking Duck)! Not sure if there’s a word cut here and therefore giving the executive summary first: w/o question… one of the top 5 culinary experiences in Berlin for me over the past 21years I‘d the pleasure of living & enjoying many-many wonderful & inspirational culinary events here.
No way of mentioning even some of them here w/o dissing/missing others. As well I‘d the opportunity to run some wonderful & mystic places as part of an awesome team myself.
Ok. Let’s cut the marketing blabla. Listen folks, as a trained chef, a foodie & service lover by DNA as well as someone who fully gets, reads & understands the challenges of the moment, this experience was simply „Extraordinary“!
The four course Kreuzberg Duck menu has been one of the top notch culinary & value4money experiences in Berlin EVER! On top of that the food was accompanied by an out of ordinary level of service. I‘d guess, that over the 4 courses we‘d had a minimum of 10 different service & chef people at the table. Might sound stressful, but believe me, it was a pure pleasure to get to know every single one of them, especially because of their so much away from average commitment & positive energy which came with each & everyone!
Folks, hands on my heart, I paid the full bill and this feedback is 100% personal, not paid at all and simply based on my beliefs to „give back“!
Before ending, my wife’s favorite part of a menu is the dessert (-> yeahhh, she’s a true sweetheart 😍) and even here, these crazy folks not only send their „TV style Pattissière“ to our table, but she also dropped some freaking amazing, no chi-chi & simply really tasty desserts.
Ok. I get it. It’s seems far too much for an unpaid review, but hej, how much crap, average, overrated and simply „not ever come back shit“ have you been going through!?
So I thought, I‘d might want to allow myself to get really carried away for once 😉!
Again, very personal, very much of a Monday evening and very-very slightly infused by birthday emotions.
Simply fueled by a very special experience, which I believe needs to be shared! N-joy folks!

We had a hugely enjoyable evening here on a Saturday night. The space is beautiful and relaxing, with a lively buzz. We had the 4 course Xberg duck menu which was very good. An European take on Peking duck, with a Japanese twist. Not traditional but surprisingly delicious nonetheless. Service was great, our waiter worked his socks off all night with utmost professionalism. I enjoyed watching the theatre of the bar staff even though I'm not a cocktail drinker. The dessert was out of this world. To top it all off, the live jazz was excellent. Thank you Orania Berlin for a memorable evening.

When your point of life changes to the attitude to make yourself feel good and to find nice things to appreciate, like good food and a nice atmosphere, then this place is something you don't want to miss. Nicely designed, very high quality bar and outstanding food. You get what you pay for, but this is exactly what you can expect.

Very great place!
They really deserve the Michelin plate.
They have a real nice atmosphere, and generally a very beautiful place.
The food is very good, I had the duck menu.
It started of with a nice duck wonton soup, then the crispy duck skin with pancakes, then the grilled breast, and then duck fired rice.
All in general a very good experience.
