Best Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Tampa
How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically.
Ebbe
1 Michelin star
Ebbe holds consecutive Michelin stars for 2024 and 2025, making it one of a small number of restaurants in Tampa earning that recognition back to back. Chef Donovan Cooke leads a contemporary program at 1202 N Franklin St that sits at the upper end of the city's fine dining tier, where the price point is $$$$ but the credential-to-cost ratio compares favorably against single-star peers in larger American markets.
Kōsen
1 Michelin star
Kōsen holds back-to-back Michelin stars (2024 and 2025), making it one of a small number of Florida restaurants to earn consecutive recognition from the guide. Under chef Thomas Deli, the Japanese kitchen at 307 W Palm Ave operates in the upper tier of Tampa's increasingly serious fine-dining circuit, with a price point and format that signal serious culinary intent rather than casual experimentation.

1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Exceptional wine program

The draw is not spectacle but control: seasonal Florida ingredients, olive-oil logic, polished hotel service, and a room built for a splurge dinner rather than casual grazing.
Rocca
1 Michelin star
Rocca holds a Michelin star for 2024 and 2025, making it the only starred Italian restaurant inside Tampa's Armature Works waterfront complex. Chef and Partner Bryce Bonsack draws on time spent in Piedmont to shape a regional Italian menu at a mid-range price point that reads unusually well against the city's higher-priced contemporary peers.
