This morning, Michelin announced the addition of 14 new restaurants to its 2025 Florida dining guide, and a handful of Tampa spots made the cut.

The new Tampa additions include popular grouper spot Ray’s Fish Camp, new Italian sandwich shop Cousin Vinny’s, the new Mad Dogs and Englishmen locale, and Chef Ebbe Vollmer’s new high-end seafood experience Fisk.

Restaurants from Orlando, Miami and Coral Cables were also added to the guide.

All four Tampa restaurants are now listed as “recommended” and are eligible to earn Bib Gourmand or Star awards at the upcoming Florida Michelin Guide Ceremony happening in Orlando on April 17.

Tampa is now home to five restaurants with Michelin Stars (Ebbe, Rocca, Koya, Lilac, Kōsen), four with Bib Gourmands (Rooster & the Till, Gorkhali Kitchen, Streetlight Taco, Psomi), and dozens of others that have been recommended by inspectors.

The new additions come after it was announced last month that St. Petersburg and Clearwater restaurants are now eligible to be included in the guide.

Here’s what the updated Michelin guide had to say about the new Tampa restaurants: 

Big Ray’s Fish Camp 6116 Interbay Blvd, Tampa, 812-605-3615 Chef Raymond “Nick” Cruz grew up learning to fish from Grandpa Cruz a few blocks away at Ballast Point Pier, not knowing that years later he would open up nearby Big Ray’s Fishing Camp. Besides his famous grouper sandwiches, his menu also features shrimp corn dogs, the famous lobster corn dogs, conch fritters, and fried oreos or key lime pie.
