OCD TLV

OCD was one of the best restaurants we’ve ever eaten at!!!
The food was delicious, diverse and special!
The service was flawless, we really loved that the cooker is serving the dishes, felt very personal.
We will definitely come again!

We made reservations in March for dinner in August and it was well with the effort and the wait. Dinner was exquisite, service divine. The most special restaurant in Israel, to be sure. The plane ticket is easier to get than the reservation, so plan far in advance.

It was really great!
‏We parked in a nearby parking lot two minutes walk from the restaurant. The restaurant itself seats about 20 diners and reservations must be made in advance.
‏The seating is at the bar and in the middle there is the kitchen with all the cooks and you can see their work really beautifully. By the way, you can see that they work clean and tidy.
‏After you sit down, the dishes start flowing. In my opinion, every 10 minutes or less a portion comes out. Small portions at first, then larger portions and desserts of course. With every dish comes an explanation about it. The dishes themselves are very special, many of them consist of a single raw material but in a variety of forms, textures and flavors.
‏We also talked to a few cooks who seem to be waiting for questions and making their time especially for you.
‏Overall, the restaurant is very special, they change the menu every few months. After reservation, you can ask for sutibale menu for you food preferences.
‏expensive but matches what you get so no complaints.
‏We will definitely come back, it was fun, tasty and very interesting.

We enjoyed our experience at OCD. Loved the creative concept with the open kitchen and the seating around it, with the chefs serving and explaining the food. There were in the order of 20 different dishes which was plenty, but it felt at times like the restaurant is trying to be too inventive with the dishes. All the dishes were very unique, telling a story about sustainability and centered around fermented food, but weren’t always very tasty. Securing a reservation was a hassle (6 months in advance!) - never seen something like that even in 3-star Michelin restaurants.

OCD is definitely the BEST restaurant in Israel. They tell a story that begins a week before the actual arrival.
Superb service, Michelin level dishes and good atmosphere. The quick visit in the kitchen (e.g. food laboratory) was awesome and explains the special taste the dishes have. Thanks, team OCD. You got my 5⭐️

All in all, great service, high end food. Although not all of the dishes are extremely delicious, they more tell a story and send a message (about sustainability and new way of thinking about food)
One star goes off since we all got the famous Parker House roll half baked, with actual raw dough. When we asked if this was intended we were apologized and that’s it. Obviously these stuff happen, but I expected from a restaurant at this level to react differently in terms of service.

This was a very interesting and fun experience. Literally food for thought. Most of the dishes were interesting and deep both texture and flavors wise. The service was overall superb, with the cooks also being the ones serving the food.

The olive oil jam is the invention of the century.

Can’t wait to come again!
