If you like to dine out in the Tampa area, you’ll be excited to know about all the restaurant’s that made Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat in Florida and the six in Tampa.
You can see the complete list of restaurants in the entire Tampa Bay area here, but we are going to focus on the six restaurants located in Tampa.
If you’ve lived in Tampa for any amount of time, you’ve likely been to Wright’s Gourmet House. Their deli sandwiches are superb. I recently ate a birthday cake that was a Wright’s Gourmet House specialty and it was, quite possibly, the best cake I’ve ever eaten. Strawberry cake with vanilla frosting. To die for. I also love their holiday Chocolate Peppermint cake. A holiday must.
Oxford Exchange landed on the list and it’s easy to understand why. First class food and an atmosphere like no other. Whether you are dining in the actual restaurant, at the coffee or tea bar, or at the champagne bar, you will enjoy sophistication and elegant food.
I have not been to Rice & Spice, but after we spoke about it on-air, we received numerous texts about the food quality and relaxed family atmosphere. It’s off Sheldon Road near Westchase and I can’t wait to check it out. Another spot on the list that I have not been to is a sushi restaurant on Dale Mabry, Izakaya Tori. I’ve heard great things. The sushi looks amazingly fresh. It’s where the old Joto’s used to be. By the way, Joto’s is the first place I ever tried sushi. I think I was 20 when I tried it for the first time. My kids started eating sushi when they were two years old. (Of course, they only eat cooked rolls.)
Another spot that made the list, Olivia. You know how I feel about Olivia. And who doesn’t love Daily Eats?!
