 The location of this restaurant is what makes it so unique, but its fare does a good job at keeping the standard the scenery demands.
Manata Ray is only a couple of meters (or feet) away from the sea on Alma beach. Not surprisingly, its veranda overlooking the sea is packed almost every day. The menu naturally offers a selection of fish and seafood, which is usually very pleasant. But one of the nicest things about Manta Ray is the mezze (small plates of Appetizers). For NIS 13 each you can choose between 15 different kinds of mezze: aubergine with labeneh cheese, sardines, tahini, salmon tartar and many other nibbles accompanied by homemade Balkan bread. It is absolutely delicious!
The prices of the main courses aren't very moderate and no business lunch is available, but the atmosphere and view are priceless. They serve a very nice breakfast from 9:00-12:00, NIS 25-60, including eggs and bacon, french toast and more. The service is very friendly and efficient.
It's lovely to book a place for around sunset and eat some mezze with a glass of wine or Ouzo.

As someone who enjoy good food and fine wines while at the same time appreciating quality service I was so upset to see how this restaurant has just become full of itself. I was particularly quite unimpressed when my wife was turned away at 4
The Restaurants I go to in Israel are about food, and quality service. I don’t know how on earth this place is going to remain the institution it once was. I recommend firing all of your staff for a start and then taking one good look in the mirror to remember who you are and what you do (it’s called the service industry because you are supposed to be providing it as such). If you ...
