Shtsupak is a Tel Aviv seafood restaurant on Ben Yehuda Street, close to the promenade. The kitchen focuses on fresh fish and seafood prepared in a Mediterranean style, with an approach that keeps the ingredients at the center of each dish.

The meal follows a traditional, generous format. Main courses come with a selection of salads, fresh bread, matias and ikra, creating a table suited to sharing as well as individual orders. Fish and seafood make up the core of the menu, alongside vegetarian dishes, gluten-free choices and options suitable for children. The cooking is straightforward and carefully focused on quality produce rather than elaborate presentation.
A wine list centred on Israeli wines adds another layer to the meal, with a full bar providing further drinks options. The overall character is food-led and welcoming, with a sense of continuity between familiar dishes and more contemporary additions. The restaurant also offers takeaway, including prepared fish suitable for finishing at home, as well as delivery.

The restaurant can also host small and medium-sized private occasions, including birthdays and small company events, with menus and drinks arranged for the occasion. For travellers making a coastal stop after time in Jerusalem, the location provides an easy Tel Aviv setting close to the promenade.
Advance planning is part of the restaurant's usual service, particularly for evening dining and weekends, although seating can also depend on availability at the time of arrival.
