Top 4 Must-Eat Places in Tampa, Florida

Do you want to know what the biggest surprise of visiting Tampa was? The restaurants! They aren’t just your normal type, but institutions jam-packed with history, culture, and truly unique food fare, and here I’m going to list four must-eat places in Tampa, Florida.

Must Eat Places In Tampa, Florida

Columbia Restaurant

Apparently, a visit to Tampa doesn’t really count until you visit Columbia Restaurant. For one thing, it’s the oldest restaurant in Florida, which opened its doors in 1905 by a Cuban immigrant as a tiny salon.

Today the restaurant is so popular you can end up waiting for quite some time, even though it has over 1500 seats.

What are they best known for? The Cuban Sandwich was created in Tampa. The 1905 salad and homemade Sangria are just a few of the items.

Ulele Restaurant

Ulele Restaurant has been around for a few years now. Also owned by the same family as the Columbia Restaurant. It is inside the old water pump, in an area that once was fully abandoned. Working along with the Tampa Mayor to build up this area, which is now also the Water Works Park and an area that is just delightful directly on the water.

What makes this restaurant stand out is that they focus on food that the Native Indians would have eaten when the area was first discovered over 500 years ago. Plus, a great brewery.

Élevage Restaurant

Interestingly enough, Elevage Restaurant is owned by the same family that owns Bern’s Steakhouse, which is considered one of the best steakhouses in the country with the largest wine collection in the world. Just to get here, you will need to make a reservation three months in advance.

However, the Élevage, holds the same standards as Bern’s, but with more hip, great wine, and cocktail selection, with an incredibly creative menu from a chef that has been the James Beard Best Chef South Semi-Finalist – twice.

Oxford Exchange Restaurant

Oxford Exchange Restaurant is amazing. Located in the old stables of the Plant Hotel. There are several rooms for dining areas, a book store, and a novelty store.

The food is mainly organic and locally grown. This place is best known for breakfast and lunch. The portions are huge, innovative, and delicious.
