Prism

"This restaurant located in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district draws diners in with a chic, minimalist decor and exciting cuisine. In his Levantine-inspired creations, owner Gal Ben Moshe gives a nod to his Israeli roots as well as to modern European standards. Made from excellent ingredients, his interesting dishes are replete with contrasts in flavour. Beyond the fantastic gastronomic diversity on display, what really impresses here is the sense of a highly personal touch that you won't find anywhere else. To complete the picture, first-rate wines as recommended by Jacqueline Lorenz, a much-lauded sommelier and the extremely friendly lady of the house. Among the 530 wines, there are fine wines from Israel, Syria and Lebanon to be found. All wines are also available by the glass." - Michelin Inspector

"Gal Ben Moshe’s brand new venture picks up where his former restaurant, the celebrated Glass, left off. The concept is still European-meets-Levantine fine dining, but the game has been raised yet further with a more seductive—dark-toned walls, leather chairs, and low-key lighting—which allows space for the food to shine. As before, guests can choose from six, seven, or eight courses, including a wine-matching option for each; expect a series of immaculately presented taste explosions that include foie gras frozen in nitrous oxide, dukkah pulpo foul with chickpeas, and lamb served with eggplant and sour cherries. We recommend you save room for dessert."

"The menu at Prism is upscale Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food - think squash-bundled crab on wild rice or white fish with dates and labneh. There’s also an over-200-bottle wine list with options from Syria, Lebanon, and Israel, all of which are available by the glass and a surprising number of which cost around $12. There are plenty of places in the city for special occasions but Prism is the best and offers the most value for your money whether you choose the six, seven, or eight-course meal or the Prism Social, where you can share the full eight-course menu between two people." - Barbara Woolsey
