Each year, Yelp releases a nationwide list of restaurants that local foodies fawn over—and three incredibly different Tampa Bay concepts made the cut in 2023.
South Tampa’s Izakaya Tori, St. Pete’s Uptown Eats and Dunedin’s Tukro Coffee are all listed as one of Yelp’s “Top 100 Places to Eat."
Izakaya Tori offers a full spread of Japanese fare—from yakitori and ramen to dumplings, sushi and stir fried noodles—while St. Pete cafe Uptown Eats, located next to the now-shuttered Mize Gallery, boasts a menu of brunch favorites, coffee, salads and sandwiches.

Other Florida institutions like Hungry Pants in Orlando and Fort Lauderdale’s Il Paesano are also included in this year’s exclusive list, which can be browsed at
