All Tampa girls know it’s a classic but if you’re visiting the area you have to try Grillsmith. It’s upscale quality with the most delicious food. The oak barrel salmon and a fresh cocktail made my night!

My addiction! Sweet Buns is filled with Asian pastries that are both savory and sweet. You get to walk around choosing what you want then wind up at their beautiful case of mousse cakes. I would sell me soul for it daily

If you're craving Mexican this spot is perfect for you! Their margaritas are insane especially when it's paired with quesabirria tacos. I was in love and can't wait to go back

Take a quick trip to Japan and try ramen at Otsuka. I live for the Spicy Tonkotsu with a side of gyoza but the Tonkotsu Black Garlic Lover is my go to recently. Some of the best flavor in the city!

All honesty, I believe almond croissants are the top pastry ever, and if I want high-quality ones, I am heading straight to Sucré. If you want a drink, go straight to the signature drinks. I love the Lavender Matcha Latter but there's something there...

Trip's is the small town energy go to with an incredible taste profile. You'll find the best grits in Tampa (add crab meat I promise) and their chicken and waffles are heaven. The parking is difficult but all worth it in the end

The beignets… I think about them daily. Shelly's is the perfect breakfast spot. I love their chicken and pancakes but wow the beignets.

If you want a Michelin star experience Rocca is where you need to be. Their pastas are staple but they also make mozzarella right in front of you and top it off with heirloom tomatoes, olive oil, and aged balsamic vinegar. 10/10 experience is guarant...

If you love sushi and seafood, you have to stop by Haiku in Tampa. I could go on and on about the flavor but the wood-fired octopus, lobster ramen, and tempura lobster roll are perfection.
