Every type of food and every sort of atmosphere is offered on the local menu. Here in Tampa Bay, you don't have to go far to find the original flavor of Florida.

Tampa Bay's food and restaurant scene tells a distinctive story of its people, its past and its location. Even the trendy, nationally recognized chefs pay homage to the style of cooking Tampa Bay's immigrants brought to this area by building fresh, inventive dishes with traditional ingredients.Cuisine culture in Tampa is common knowledge among the locals. Start the day with Cuban bread and cafe con leche at any number of quaint breakfast spots. For lunch, select from a wide range of fine dining to funky seafood restaurants that seem to be opening at an unprecedented pace. Then finish the evening at an outdoor cafe with a steaming cup of Cuban coffee, a smooth nightcap, a fine cigar or a sumptuous dessert while watching the stars.
