Tampa Bay Restaurant Week is here, and nearly 60 restaurants across the Bay area have teamed up with Creative Loafing Tampa Bay to offer special multi-course prix fixe menus, plus exclusive pricing on drink specials and more.

The specials run June 13-23, and all you have to do is ask for the Tampa Bay Restaurant Week menu. This year, a portion of the proceeds benefit Feeding Tampa Bay, a nonprofit working to eliminate hunger across 10 counties in the Bay area.

This year, download the Tampa Bay Restaurant Week app from your Apple App Store or Google Play store, and “check-in to win”.  Guests can check in for ordering off the Restaurant Week menu, ordering a Stella, Kona Big Wave, or Mango Cart, a Ghost Tequila Cocktail, or a Big Storm Distillery product.  Get more points by signing up for a cooking class at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center, joining the Must Wine Club at Must Wine Loft in downtown St. Pete, or visiting Keel & Curley’s winery.  Guests with the most points at the end of the week will win prizes.

See some of of the specials below—and click through the linked restaurant name to see the offering—then get a full list via tampabayrestaurantweek.com.

Tampa Bay Restaurant Week is presented by Visit Tampa Bay, with support from Stella, Kona Big Wave, Mango Cart, Ghost Tequila, Big Storm Distillery, MUST Wine Loft , the Dunedin Fine Arts Center, and Keel & Curley.

Michelin ranking: Reccomended
“After a chic redesign, this longtime Hyde Park Village staple stands out even in its stylish surrounds. The verdant space calls to mind the tropics and a clubby playlist adds an air of youthfulness, but this is solid cooking rooted in classic Italian American sensibilities.”
