Gal Ben Moshe

22nd – 26th August

At Michelin-starred ‘prism’ in Charlottenburg, Tel Aviv-born Gal Ben Moshe, and his sommelier wife Jacqueline Lorenz, have created a very special home for contemporary Levantine fine dining in the city.

Inspired by the historic flavours of the region, menus at ‘prism’ are anchored in the imaginative use of live fire, adding a delicate smoky touch to almost every dish. Seafood also plays a key part, a reflection of Gal’s childhood in Tel Aviv, and his first job at one the city’s most celebrated seafood restaurants (he would rise before dawn to prepare the day’s catch, straight from the boats).

Gal’s week with us features stunning creations like ‘Chawanmushi, King Crab, Fava Beans, Arak Beurre Blanc’; and ‘Squid, Yogurt, Campfire Potato, ‘Nduja, Squid Ink’, alongside more familiar combinations like ‘Challah and Olive Oil Butter’ and ‘Lamb, Sour Cherries, Grilled Onions, Freekeh’.

Drawing on his background in European fine dining (Gal cut his teeth at Maze*, Marcus* and Hibiscus**, in London) and an enduring connection to his homeland, Gal’s imaginative menus may not be culturally traditional, but they are all the more epic for it. Get ready to be blown away.
