Acclaimed Israeli chef Gal Ben-Moshe from Berlin’s Prism restaurant has been awarded a coveted Michelin star for the fourth year in a row.
Born in Israel in 1985, Chef Gal Ben Moshe came from a very food-centric family where his parents made great efforts to expose him to as much international food as possible. Chef Gal started cooking at the age of 15, mentored by his grandmother.
Chef Gal’s resumé reads like a dream, initially in London with acclaimed chefs Gordon Ramsay and Claude Bosi and then having stints at legendary kitchens including the three Michelin star Alinea in Chicago under the great Grant Achatz. and then Jason Atherton’s Maze in London.
Chef Gal eventually made his way to Berlin in 2012 and opened GLASS. At GLASS, Chef Gal was awarded 16 points in the Gault & Millau and was also nominated for the Berlin Master Chef Award.
In 2022, Chef Gal took over the kitchen of Pastel located in the Tel Aviv Museum where he has won numerous accolades.
In 2023 Chef Gal opened the acclaimed Pink Room in the Hilton Berlin, a restaurant that fuses Levantine cuisine with Japanese influences.
Notwithstanding all of his other endeavours, it was Chef Gal’s opening of Prism in Berlin in 2018 that has put Chef Gal firmly on the global culinary map. His cooking is indisputably contemporary and creative, but still taps into what he calls ‘a historically neglected kitchen’, namely thousands of years of Eastern Arabic cooking from Lebanon, Syria and Israel.
