Michelin-starred chef Gal ben Moshe cooks his story at the Parzival restaurant in Prague's Old Town.

For six years, Gal ben Moshe cooked under a Michelin star at his own restaurant Prism in Berlin. Now he is opening a restaurant called Parzival in Prague, where he tells his personal story through flavors and aromas. Parzival is a fusion fine dining experiential restaurant that he describes as a deeply personal place where he shares all his gastronomic experiences and narrates them through food.

From every kitchen and culture, he takes what speaks to him and combines them in surprising ways. Each of the six courses tells a story, and throughout the evening, guests will taste six experiences and memories from Galo. The menu is fixed and will change six times a year based on the availability of fresh seasonal ingredients.

Good food deserves good wine

Guests can choose wine pairings for the menu, either classic or a conceptual version with wines from the Levant region. All wines are selected by the renowned sommelier Jacqueline Lorenz, who is also no stranger to Michelin. She is the only sommelier named by name in the guide. Such a strong impression can be left by her selection.

Guests will enjoy their meal in the intimate and cozy space of the restaurant, where the staff will fully attend to them and guide them through the evening and the story of each course.

“I don’t want Parzival to be perceived as luxury in the sense that guests will expect rare ingredients. It shouldn’t be overly ostentatious fine dining that boasts truffles and lobsters. I think that era of fine dining is thankfully over. Parzival is my personal statement, and its value lies in the experience. I believe that gastronomically diverse Prague will accept it with open taste buds,” explains what Parzival is and isn’t, its chef Gal ben Moshe.

The Israeli chef is one of the most prominent figures in contemporary gastronomy. He gained experience in London with Jason Atherton and Marcus Wareing and at the legendary Chicago Alinea with Grant Achatz. In 2012, he moved to Berlin, where he first established the restaurant Glass and subsequently Prism, which received a Michelin star in 2020 and maintained it until its closure in 2025. His cuisine combines authentic flavors of the Levant with modern techniques and an emphasis on freshness.
