If you work downtown, lucky you when it comes to lunch. Dozens of ethnic cuisines (Jerk Hut), lots of favorite chains such as First Watch, Jimmy Johns, or Bruegger's Bagels.
Many of the hotels in Tampa serve up super lunch fare, most notably Sheraton’s Ashley Street Grille and Avanzare American cuisine at Hyatt Regency Tampa. Looking for places to eat for business lunch? Drive over to nearby Hyde Park, SoHo, Café Dufrain, Jackson Street Bistro or Mise En Place for an upscale bite and close the deal. Lunch in Downtown Tampa boasts hot donuts and hot dog carts as well as these everyday lunch spots, busy but worth it.
