Tampa

Located in the Sunshine State and close to the Gulf, Tampa is full of fresh and locally grown ingredients! Although not as well known as Orlando or Miami, Tampa makes up one-third of Florida’s Bay Area.

Despite the city going through a time of growth and renewal, it may have one of the most creative food scenes. Where once it mainly consisted of chain food restaurants to choose from, there are now independently owned gems sourcing local produce keeping Florida cooking alive. Combining its Native American roots and southern charm, Tampa’s food scene – past, present, and future will not let you down. Not only is the seafood memorable but we have hand picked some of our favorite Farm-to-Table restaurants for you to try.
