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.

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
