The Restaurant Guides

We now offer The Restaurant Guide – Our Favorite Places, in two versions, one for St. Petersburg and one for Tampa. You may purchase this as (1) a 100+ page PDF document with our recommendations for you to download or print from your phone, iPad, or computer, (2) a hard copy book, or (3) both. It contains information on artisan food shops, cafes, and restaurants. We specialize in providing trustworthy insights in our experiences as local natives. We have been to every food shop, cafe, and restaurant in the guide. These are not paid advertisements.

Support Local Businesses. The Restaurant Guide helps to support local businesses. We rarely report on chains, unless a locally owned franchise is involved.

Easy to Use. The Restaurant Guide is comprehensive but also easy to use. Included are links to map locations, with original maps, as well as a chart of the restaurants divided by categories, such as breakfast, lunch, Mexican, Asian, fine dining.

Hidden Gems. You will discover hidden gems. There are so many small, special places that many locals have never heard of. Additionally, we review new restaurants as they open. We constantly update the Restaurant Guide.

If you are a local or a visitor and think that we should revise an entry, let us know. If you are a restaurant owner, please let us know if we need to update an entry or add your restaurant to our list of those to try.

We hope that you enjoy the Restaurant Guide.
