Fodor's Expert Review OCD

There is no Michelin guide for Israel yet but, if there was, OCD would likely be on the list. 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 16- to 20-course adventure tasting menu. A first of its kind for Tel Aviv, OCD offers two nightly seatings with dishes changing monthly based on seasonal offerings. Guests are seated communal-style around the bar in front of the open kitchen, with an unobstructed view of all the action. And while Rahav may still not have turned 30, maturity and sophistication of his cooking suggests otherwise. The dishes make conversation pieces for what feels like an intimate dinner party for those lucky enough to bag a coveted seat at his highly sought-after table. Make sure you book at least four weeks in advance and inform the restaurant of any dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, kosher, in addition to any intolerances or allergies) at the time of booking as no changes will be made on the night.
