Tampa Restaurants

Tampa’s Gulf Coast location makes it a prime place to please the palate with grilled tuna, seasoned shrimp, broiled scallops and other tastes of the sea. Pull up a seat and enjoy open air dining at the Tampa Riverwalk, at Clearwater Beach or along Tampa Bay. While its heart might lean toward the ocean, Tampa does not disappoint in its offerings of land-based dishes like tender filet mignon, saucy BBQ, flame-grilled chicken, veal Marsala, and vegetarian selections. Cafes and beachfront bars feature Bahamian, Jamaican, and Italian with a Floridian twist. Don’t forget the frosty drinks. Check out the jazz clubs, microbreweries, pubs, and other nightlife of historic Ybor City. This lively area, once home to cigar manufacturing, features an eclectic array of Cuban, Cajun, and Latin American restaurants too.
