Manta Ray, Seafood restaurant on Alma Beach, Tel Aviv, Israel
Manta Ray is a seafood restaurant on Alma Beach in Tel Aviv offering large windows and an outdoor terrace with direct Mediterranean views. The menu features grilled fish, shrimp, and various regional seafood prepared and served by experienced staff.
The restaurant opened before Tel Aviv's modern culinary movement began, helping establish seafood dining as central to the city. Over many years it built a steady reputation as a trusted place for traditional Mediterranean fish cooking.
The restaurant reflects the connection between Mediterranean cooking and local Israeli ingredients, where guests find traditional mezze platters and fresh fish from regional waters. This food style is part of daily eating habits in Tel Aviv, where seafood has always held an important place in the community.
The beachfront location means visitors see sand near the dining area and sometimes feel sea breezes, particularly during warm months. Planning a visit on a quieter weekday offers easier access and better views of the water.
The menu includes shrimp with grilled pineapple in lemongrass paste and local fish with fennel and grapefruit, flavor combinations rarely found elsewhere. These unusual taste mixes show how the restaurant connects local catches with more exotic notes.
