Tampa Bay Restaurant Week happens from June 15-25, and Creative Loafing Tampa Bay—along with Feeding Tampa Bay—celebrates some of the most exciting concepts in our area.
Starting June 15, local foodies can enjoy a special prix-fixe menu and drink specials at a variety of local participating restaurants like Cru Cellars, Allelo, The Living Room, Bouzy, Caracara, Teak St. Pete, Cider Press Vegan Gastropub, Azure and Willa’s.
The full list of Tampa Bay Restaurant Week participants can be found on at tampabayrestaurantweek.com.
A handful of these same concepts will sling samples of their most prized dishes at CL’s Meet The Chefs party next month, which is hosted annually as a kickoff to Tampa Bay Restaurant Week.
Guests can enjoy small plates and drink samples while rubbing elbows with chefs from restaurants like CW’s Gin Joint, Rome + Fig, The Black Pearl and Mighty Quinns BBQ, alongside several other local concepts.
In 2023, Meet of the Chefs returns to downtown Tampa’s The Vault on Thursday, June 8 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Tickets to this annual cocktail-style sampling event are on sale for $80-$120 and can be purchased on meetthechefstampabay.com.
A portion of proceeds from 2023’s Tampa Bay Restaurant Week and Meet the Chefs will benefit local nonprofit Feeding Tampa Bay, which is committed to ending hunger across a 10-county region in Central Florida.
