Meat Market Tampa

The Luna Lounge on the roof is among the most unique venues in the city. Sitting up there, you can enjoy all the nuanced flavors from their charcoal grill. You could go with something familiar, like their short rib sandwich. At the same time, if you feel adventurous, we’d recommend some of their octopus. As strange as it sounds, it’s quite delicious.

Ciro’s
2109 Bayshore Blvd Tampa, FL 33606
(813) 251-0022
Ciro’s has one of the most impressive drink menus in the whole city. However, their food is truly the main attraction. Their black truffle popcorn might not look like much. But, we promise you’ll be raving about it to all of your friends. Follow it up with some of their steak frites for a complete meal. By the time you leave, you’ll be planning out your next visit.

Cask Social Kitchen
208 S Howard Ave Tampa, FL 33606
(813) 251-0051
Cask Social Kitchen is the perfect venue to take a group. They’ve managed to fuse classic American food with a southern twist. If we had to recommend one dish, it’d be their chicken and waffles. Of course, for something a bit more exotic, you could always check out their buffalo cauliflower. Just make sure that you save some room for dessert.

Water + Flour
1015 S Howard Ave Tampa, FL 33606

Versatility would be the word we’d use to describe Water + Flour. They’ve got some of the best brick-oven pizza in all of Tampa. At the same time, you’ll be hard-pressed to find somewhere with better sushi. Try one of their Ahi Tuna bowls if you aren’t sure where to start. That’ll impress even the most discerning of palates.
