Restaurant review
Orania, Berlin
"Philipp Vogel has created a clear trademark for himself with this menu. Even if his interpretation of the original Peking duck may deviate here and there, it still offered plenty of authentic flair and strong, intense flavour, which was definitely worth the visit. The service is relaxed, attentive and very cordial, so there is nothing to complain about here either. If it wasn't so hackneyed, one would have to say: Duck good - all good. Never mind, I'll do it anyway." (Published in July 2025)
