As part of the Estrel Congress & Entertainment Center, the hotel offers an infrastructure that sets new standards — for business travelers, event organizers, and food lovers alike. The gastronomy at the Estrel stands for quality, variety, and first‑class service — whether for a business lunch, dinner, or large‑scale event catering.
Peter Griebel – Culinary Director with Vision at the Estrel Berlin
As Culinary Director of the Estrel Berlin, Peter Griebel oversees the gastronomic leadership of one of Europe’s largest hotel and event complexes. With decades of experience, international expertise, and uncompromising standards of quality and precision, he shapes the culinary identity of the house in a significant way. Whether for state banquets, major events, or exclusive catering, Griebel stands for perfection — on the plate and at the table. His motto: “Impossible is not an option.” And this mindset is reflected in every detail of his work. A particular focus for Peter Griebel is selecting his products and partners. He prioritizes quality, sustainability, and personal relationships — values he shares with Beba Ziegler, owner of the Berlin fish manufactory Balmi Lachs. For decades, Balmi Lachs has stood for hand‑selected premium fish, traditional smoking techniques, and uncompromising freshness. “Salmon, love, and passion,” as Beba Ziegler describes her craft — qualities evident in every product. The collaboration between Peter Griebel and Beba Ziegler is defined by mutual respect and culinary enthusiasm. Griebel is especially fond of the Balmi No.1 Gold Edition, praising its depth of flavor, artisanal processing, and unmistakable soul — an exceptional product in an exceptional hotel. Together, Peter Griebel and Beba Ziegler stand for a culinary philosophy that meets the highest standards while expressing values — responsible, rooted in the region, and driven by true passion for craftsmanship. We are particularly proud of our partnership with the Estrel Berlin and a producer as outstanding as Balmi Lachs. Together, we set benchmarks in quality, regionality, and culinary diversity — a collaboration that unites excellence and authenticity at the highest level.
