We have compiled a list of the top restaurants in Tel Aviv based on our tourists personal favorites. Knowing where and what to eat when visiting a new country is so important. When celebrating something important, date night or even just for some supper, the vibes and the quality of a restaurant is so very important. Read more below!
OCD TLV
The first of the top restaurants in Tel Aviv that we recommend is OCD. Rather than just dinner, this is an entire sensory experience. OCD requires advanced booking because it is a set menu and the restaurant only holds 19 people per dinner serving. Menus cannot be altered on the spot and therefore they require you to state your dietary restrictions whilst making reservations. They are wonderful at accommodating food restrictions with advanced notice, and we recommend OCD to those with allergies or specific dietary requirements. We recommend booking at least two months in advance, if not earlier.
