Hi, Sweetie

Christian Hümbs

High tea at Orania

Since Kreuzberg is known as the best place to get high in Berlin we would like to invite you to a harmless English high tea. The high tea is taken in the English tea tradition between 5 and 7 pm. You drink tea and eat a colorful mixture of sweet and salty snacks. We, however, postpone the high tea until lunchtime. Your host will probably also let you have a glass or two of sparkling wine.

After all, we are talking about Philipp Vogel, the chef and hotel director of the Hotel Orania. His Peking duck is as legendary as his qualities as a generous restaurateur.

As an accompanist or guest chef for this high eat, he has enlisted the help of none other than Christian Hümbs. At 41 years of age, he is already a legend in the industry, after all, he has managed to shine a spotlight on pâtissiers and pâtissières who were almost invisible until then. His dessert variations with vegetables were a real “game-changer” in Germany’s gourmet kitchens.

By the way, the postponement of the high tea to lunchtime is due to the fact that our closing gala will also take place on this Sunday. Everyone wants to be there, and our team needs the time to count the votes for the “audience award”.

Xenia at the Oukan

Youngstars-Titelbild-Philosophie-Architektur-Saal

Oukan

Temple tradition at the Oukan

Xenia Glassen is one of the most successful Instagrammers in the capital under girleats.bln. Her reach is impressive, since it is the world’s toughest currency. In our opinion she is very convincing due to the level of care she takes to keep her account up to date. She will therefore get her own little series as part of eat! berlin.

This evening, we’re heading to the Oukan on Ackerstraße in Mitte. The restaurant draws its inspiration from the Japanese Buddhist temple cuisine known as Shōjin Ryōri. Although the emphasis is on sustainability and health, Berlin-Brandenburg is certainly the focus of the seasonality and regionality themes. Of course, chef Martin Müller has transferred all the dishes into the 21st century in consultation with monks. It’s also important to note that the restaurant’s space is amazing.

The five-course menu is accompanied with wine, but if someone prefers, they can also choose the intriguing tea accompaniment.

Xenia at the Ember

Soft Opening Ember

Kochen auf offenem Feuer

Xenia Glassen is one of the most successful Instagrammers in the capital under girleats.bln. She did not only impress us with her reach, which is the hardest currency in this world, but convinced us much more with the quality with which she maintains her account. Around 12,000 food lovers follow her posts. Her passion belongs mainly to fine-dining and casual fine-dining gastronomy. Fits us! That’s why she’s getting her own little series as part of eat! berlin.

On this evening Xenia Glassen takes us to Marzahn to a vacant archive. There you will meet Tobias Beck. He studied the art of cooking on open fire in Argentina. Francis Mallmann, who became world famous with his episode on the Netflix series “Chef’s table”, was his teacher. After that, he cooked at the wellknown restaurant NOMA in Copenhagen and at Restaurant Ernst in Berlin. We are quite sure that we will continue to hear a lot from Tobias Beck in the future. So, his concept “Ember” is not a classic restaurant, it is more an adventurous journey through the city. Outstanding evenings are hosted always at different locations. The events are always sold out immediately after their release. Chapeau!

Without a doubt, Xenia has created an evening for us in our festival program that would not have existed otherwise. We are overjoyed!

To Friendship!

Josef Viehhauser

Josef Viehhauser and Sigi Danler

Many friendships were born in the kitchen, but only a few are as lasting as those between star chef and visionary Josef Viehhauser, star chef and now Berliner-by-choice Sigi Danler, and the unique chef Jörg Wörther. The latter was honored for his life achievements at eat! berlin 2020 and unfortunately passed away in the same year. We dedicate this evening to him. Wörther was Austria’s most decorated chef for decades and was long considered a contender for the 3rd star. In 1990, he was named Chef of the Decade by Gault&Millau. Wörther came from the school of Josef Viehhauser, as did Michael Hoffmann, Johann Lafer, Kolja Kleeberg, Heiko Nieder and many others. The Austrian, who lives in Hamburg, is definitely one of Germany’s greatest teachers. His restaurant Le canard was rated with 19 of 20 points at the Gault&Millau. He was considered an absolute pioneer of the Novelle Cuisine. Another pupil is Sigi Danler, who was awarded a star in the Algarve for over 10 years. Previously, he worked in Eckarts Witzigmann’s Aubergine in Munich, among other places, and was at “Le Canard” for over 10 years, 6 of them as head chef. He opened the Pauly Saal in Berlin and led it to blossom; today he is the kitchen director of the Einstein Unter den Linden. Viehhauser’s pupil quickly developed into a friend, a friendship that suits the theme of our evening.

The renowned winemaker Willi Bründlmayer from the namesake vineyard in Langenlois, Lower Austria, is our first winemaker guest at eat! berlin. He will most likely explain what connects him to Josef Viehhauser and Sigi Danler during the course of the evening since we are very curious. In any case, the Kamptal wines are well-known around the world, and the Bründlmayer winery is a true legend.

There would be no better place for this special event than the restaurant SodaZitron in Prenzlauer Berg, after all, it was also opened by four friends. One of them is chef Harald Höllrigl and the other is chef, sommelier, and eat! berlin festival curator Bernhard Moser.
So, grab your best friend, and off you go to Prenzlauer Berg.
