Orania restaurant is an incredible place in Berlin Kreuzberg, it is an unlikely place that we would think that we are going to eat the best Peking duck ever. 

Yes indeed, we have eaten our best Peking duck ever, better than in Hong-Kong, better than in Shanghai, better the in Singapore and yet better than in Paris or New York 

Our friends would ask who the Chinese chef is behind the making of this XBerg duck as they called it at Orania restaurant, and we would say there is no Chinese chef, but a talented German chef named Philipp Vogel 

The XBerg Duck’s menu comes in four sequences; the first course is the mushroom dashi and shitake dim-sum, it was fabulous in terms of savors, smoothness and the dim-sum was perfectly cooked. The second course was the famous crispy duck skin served with pancake, cucumber, and Hoisin sauce. The duck skin was simply succulent. The third course was the grilled duck’s breast served with Pak Choi and marinated eggplant in a Sichuan’s pepper jus. The final course was the fried rice with drumstick meat, egg yolk, broccoli, and water chestnut. 

Our experience at Orania restaurant was a bliss because the place becomes a living room, and the bar that turns into a concert hall and the evening we were there, there was a music concert with Mike Russell’s Funky Soul Kitchen. 

The only faux pas of Orania restaurant is its wine list which is outrageously priced that was the reason we did not order any wine for our dinner. 

The service was professional, kind, and helpful in their way to explain how they came up with the great idea of serving a Peking duck in an international restaurant. 

Orania is also a hotel where you can book a room and enjoy the Kreuzberg neighborhood. This place is on our list as one of the best places if not the best place to eat a Peking duck.
