Dade City, Florida

Pasco County · 105 restaurants

Dade City is the county seat of Pasco County, and its restored downtown courthouse square — lined with antique shops and locally owned restaurants — reflects a small-town character built on citrus and cattle farming going back over a century. The annual Kumquat Festival celebrates the small citrus fruit still grown in the surrounding hills, and the city's 102 restaurants serve a mostly rural, agricultural community along with a growing number of day-trippers drawn by the historic downtown's antiquing scene. Dade City's hilly terrain, unusual for Florida, sets it apart from the flatter landscape found closer to Tampa.
