ORA is a wine bar and restaurant in the former Oranien pharmacy in the heart of Kreuzberg. Nadine & Tom Michelberger and Alan Micks took over the esteemed restaurant in 2020 and followed their vision of a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar. At Ora, head chef Alan Micks creates a regularly changing menu designed to be shared, consisting of dishes that are seasonal, unpretentious, and European. Micks cultivated strong relationships with outstanding producers and suppliers around Berlin. Today, there is a bounty of produce going into the menu from small farms, foragers, and local hunters. More and more ingredients come from the Michelberger farm in Spreewald. From 5 pm, the bar offers spontaneous visitors a distinct selection of light snacks and small dishes to share for an aperitif or to linger with a selected glass of wine from its extensive and constantly growing wine list. If you love what you do, and know why you do it, there is always a place for you. If you take pride in your skills and talents, care about the details, and get on well with those around you, we’d love to hear from you.

About us
The Michelberger Hotel & Restaurant is a metropolitan oasis of recreation, togetherness and pleasure in the heart of Berlin. Founded and directed by Nadine and Tom Michelberger.

Grown out of Berlin's cultural landscape, the Michelberger is constantly evolving with the people and stories that this hotel life writes.

In this place, with the people who work with us and who visit us. This is how we shape the present and create a desirable future for ourselves. - By hosting, by enabling experiences, by serving people! " - Nadine and Tom Michelberger
