Dining

Bring your appetite for fun and food while exploring the rich array of Tampa Bay’s dining spots. One night you can be seated for a white tablecloth experience. The next watch the sunset while dining and dancing from the deck of a ship or beachside bistro.

Savor the flavors of Ybor City’s eclectic array of ethnic eateries that go far beyond the traditional Cuban and Spanish delights. Go Greek, nibble sushi or sample South American to good old Southern dishes. Feel like a local when you take a seat at any Boliche Boulevard restaurant in West Tampa.

There’s lots of great seafood to try, but this is also an area with a taste for steak. Tampa’s own world-famous Bern’s and many of the nation’s best places for beef are here to exceed your expectations. Indulge your sweet tooth with servings of tangy Key lime pie, sweet guava pastries and flavorful flan. They all make Tampa Bay worth the weight.

For a really good night sip a favorite coffee concoction, get a good laugh at a comedy club or applaud a community or professional theatrical group. But don’t call it a night call until you’ve made a few moves on a local dance floor. Spice up the night with salsa dancing, put your best boot forward and move to country music, or enjoy non-stop hip-hop in late-night clubs.
