Tampa, Florida
Hillsborough County · 2,830 restaurants
Tampa's food identity is built on a rich Cuban and Spanish heritage — the city literally invented the Cuban sandwich in the historic cigar factories of Ybor City. Today, over 2,600 restaurants span the trendy gastropubs of Seminole Heights, the waterfront dining of Harbour Island, the buzzing SoHo strip, and the rapidly evolving restaurants of the Water Street district. Tampa's food scene is experiencing a golden age, with James Beard nominations and national recognition becoming commonplace.
