If you are looking for great seafood and excellent seaview, this is the place to come. The restaurant is full almost all the time and reserving a table in advance is highly recommended. The variety of seafood dishes are impressive and delicious. We have been here multiple times and the service remains efficient and friendly.

It’s not a tourist trap, believe me. I live here, but look like tourist🥹.. just surprised to find out this wonderful restaurant, located on the beach, and if you’ll sit on the deck terrace at the evening, you will enjoy the only one view - the sea 🌊 accomplished with tasty meal. As you can see, we ordered a seafood plates to share with aperol cocktails, it was delicious. The staff are very kind. (Yes, it’s not cheap. But nothing cheap in this country..).

We had a great experience in Manta Ray. The food was tasty, the service was nice and the view was incredible. We made reservation in advance and it was around sunset time and with the amazing food and wine, it turned into an unforgettable memory. All the seafoods were very fresh and nicely cooked. The starters were rich in option and flavor. I definitely suggest this place for a nice seafood experience in the city.

This is one of my favorite breakfast places in Tel Aviv. A wonderful morning starts by sitting outside and looking at the sea. Then breakfast comes with lots of different small plates and fantastic breads. Then coffee comes and it is wonderful. Be sure to call and reserve a seat because this place is usually booked solid. Tell them you want to sit outside if the weather is good.

Excellent restaurant on Alma beach and in walking distance from most of the larger hotels. The staff are friendly and the food it very tasty. We were able to get in for dinner without a reservation as long as we were able to eat and pay within 1.5 hours - no problem for us.
