Secret Food Tours: Tampa

You'll begin your journey with a bang, chomping on our Secret Dish, an exotic bite that is truly a Florida-Only experience.

We’ll meander over to one of the oldest restaurants in Florida, known for its rich Cuban cuisine, which has been enchanting guests since 1948. There you'll indulge in their world famous Cuban, Tampa's iconic sandwich, filled with roast pork, ham, swiss cheese and pickles, all pressed to a crispy, crunchy taste sensation between fresh baked cuban bread.

Next up, we'll take you to Tampa locals' favorite where you'll indulge in their deviled crabs, stuffed with blue crab, paprika and garlic.

From there, you'll discover the secrets of Ybor City, with its colorful history and pirate connections.

We stop in at a local diner for avgolemono while experiencing the Greek tradition of hospitality, or philoxenia, which permeates many dining establishments, where meals are social experiences enjoyed among family and friends.

Now it's time to stroll through the palm tree lined streets of 7th Avenue, the heart of Ybor City, as we peek into the fabulous local shops and cigar crafters, and enjoy the incredible people watching.

We wrap up our time together with lush, handcrafted ice cream. The perfect foil to the Florida heat.
