Did you know that the Cuban sandwich was invented in Tampa? Yet more is to come. Greg Baker, Jeannie Pierola, Chris Ponte, and Ferrell Alvarez are just a few of Tampa's culinary luminaries. Fabio Vivani, the Bravo TV show Top Chef star, hails from the city, as does James Beard Award-winning chef Art Smith.
 
As a result, if you're planning a trip to Tampa, set aside some time to try at least some of the restaurants listed here in Downtown Tampa. No matter what you're in the mood for, you'll come away from this restaurant satisfied and happy!
 
Columbia Café
 
With a history dating back to 1905, the Columbia Café is widely regarded as one of the country's oldest restaurants. This is one of the most beautiful restaurants on the waterfront in downtown Tampa.
 
211
 
To start the day right, head over to 211 in the Hilton to enjoy some of Downtown Tampa's best breakfast and lunch.
 
The Bavarian Pretzel with Beer Cheese Fondue, Ybor Cuban, Turkey Club, and Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich are some of the most popular menu options.
 
Ulele
 
When it comes to Tampa restaurants, Ulele stands out as one of the most recognizable. Its seasonal menu is based on the indigenous peoples of Florida, incorporating local and fresh ingredients in new and exciting flavor fusions.
 
Oxford Exchange
 
The Oxford Exchange, better known as OE, is a bookstore, boutique, coffee shop, tea bar, champagne bar, and restaurant all in one place. A table in the conservatory, which features vine-draped walls and a fountain in the center, is an excellent choice if you're looking for peace during your OE meal.
 
220 East
 
220 East has been a staple in downtown Tampa's dining scene for ten years. Fried Green Tomatoes, Bavarian Pretzel, Fish and Chips or Tacos, Homemade Quiche, Shrimp Scampi or Smothered Steak, Asian Chicken Salad, and Fried Brie are other must-try dishes.
 
Eddy and Sam’s
 
Eddy and Sam's are the best places to get authentic New York pizza prepared with imported New York water.
 
Farmacy Vegan Kitchen + Bakery
 
You can get the best vegan food in Tampa by dining at Farmacy Vegan Kitchen + Bakery. Even the Farmacy Burger and Philly Cheesesteaks, as well as the Avocado BLT Wrap and Feisty Lasagna and Mushroom and Lentil Stroganoff on the menu, are entirely plant-based.
 
Taco Bus
 
Taco Bus, the first food truck, started the street food craze before anyone else. Tampa's Taco Bus is now one of the city's most popular Mexican restaurants, with lorries and brick-and-mortar locations across Florida.
 
Boat Run Oyster Company
 
Boat Run Oyster Company is one of the best seafood restaurants in Downtown Tampa, serving up fresh oysters and other seafood favorites. Fresh oysters from various locations are served raw on the menu, including Cedar Key, FL; Plymouth, MA; New Brunswick, CA; Halibut Cove, AK; and Mood Canal, WA.
 
American Social
 
American Social's most extensive bar and restaurant is located at the north end of Harbor Island. Over 15,000 square feet of waterfront property, this restaurant features an intimate dining area, a VIP bar, a patio area for private events, four full-service bars, and a raw bar. It also includes an indoor and outdoor VIP bar.
 
On Swann
 
Swann Avenue is the name of the street where On Swann is located. There is an open kitchen in the restaurant where dishes are prepared for sharing or building your own coursed meal.
