Fodor's Expert Review OCD

The name (an acronym for obsessive-compulsive disorder) refers to the meticulous care chef Raz Rahav and his team pour into each elaborate dish in this nine-course adventure tasting menu. A first of its kind for Tel Aviv, OCD offers two nightly seatings with no menu to choose from, and the dishes change monthly based on seasonal offerings. Exquisitely concocted selections like steamed drum fish over barley in a shrimp stock with vanilla and shiso leaves, though seemingly overwhelming, taste great and make conversation pieces for what feels like an intimate dinner party. Guests are invited to join the chefs and photograph the creative action. Advance reservations are required, and guests can inform the restaurant of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking.
