ST. PETE/CLEARWATER’S FOODIE RENAISSANCE
While the more traditional local spots remain, a number of new, modern dining establishments are opening every month. While the region’s beaches may take the plaudits as the major drawcards for those travelling to the area, the food scene is now providing travellers with another convincing reason to visit.
Garden & Gun recently named St. Pete as one of The South’s Best Food Towns on the culinary rise, with places serving up ‘create your own’ charcuterie boards, fresh ingredients from an on-site garden, 400+ beers and wines to go. Several new culinary spots have popped up around St. Pete/Clearwater with unique characteristics – the latest to come on the scene is the younger sibling of popular Tampa hangout Oxford Exchange, The Peabody.
