I’m back for some more yumminess in Tampa! This bay side Florida city has a lot to offer healthy and special diet diners if you know where to look. Be sure to check out my last post on where to find great grub and then make it a point to stop by these great locations too!
South Indian cuisine is always a great choice for veggie diners and Udipi Cafe delivers. With a great variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes, it’s tough to make a decision so be sure to go with a big group so you can try a little of everything! The Medhu Vada and Potato Bonda are great to start with. For the main event the Behl Purl and Vegetable Uthappam rock. The menu is endless so it’s important to get there hungry! You can visit Udipi at 14422 N Dale Mabry, Tampa, 33618
(813) 962-7300.
Staying on the Asian side of veggie fare, Lotus Vegetarian is a great authentic Vietnamese eatery. 100% vegetarian, the menu is mouthwatering so you may want to make more than 1 trip so you can try it all! The Bun Mi and Bahn Mi are my personal faves as is the refreshing Bo (avocado juice!). A definite can’t miss when in or around Tampa!
Located in ST. Pete Beach, you’ll find Vida de Cafe. A delicious raw food restaurant, it’s a great place for awesome raw meals, juices, snacks and more! I LOVE their chili, raw tacos, raw spinach gnocchi and Caesar salad as well as their killer desserts like the Key Lime Cheesecake and Fudge Brownie Sundae! It’s one of the best raw food restaurants in the country and not to be passed over when visiting the Tampa area!It was a great surprise to find Rouen Thai, a veggie and macrobiotic Thai joint. Sometimes you just want some Thai and Rouen does it right! Their lunch specials are a great value and come with a lot of food and as cliche as it is, their Pad Thai is a homerun! You can find them at 3324 Gandy Blvd. | Tampa, 33611, 813- 837- 9100.
Well that is a wrap on Tampa but we’ll be on the west coast of Florida over the next few weeks so stay tuned!
