Celebrity Chef Phillip Vogel

With its now almost legendary X-Berg Duck, Orania.Restaurant has made a name for itself in recent years even beyond the capital’s borders. Orania owes this success to its managing director and executive chef, Philipp Vogel. A native of Cologne, he is passionate about his profession, which has taken him from Michelin-starred kitchens in Shanghai, London, and Vienna to Berlin, ultimately transforming him from a Michelin-starred chef into a hotelier with the role of culinary director. Anyone who knows Philipp knows that behind his success lie not only passion but, above all, creativity and a great deal of hard work. The 43-year-old Cologne native is always on the lookout for a new challenge. This could be an appearance on the hit show Kitchen Impossible, a guest chef event in Switzerland, or a collaboration with a baked potato stand at the Viktualienmarkt. The main thing for Philipp: experiencing new things and, through that, creating something new.
