"The works of art inside the Dalí Museum in downtown St. Pete are undoubtedly impressive, but so are the culinary creations found at Café Gala on the ground floor. Named for Dalí’s wife, the Spanish-themed spot serves a gorgeous array of tapas, pastries, and lunch fare, following the artist’s mantra that “beauty should be edible, or not at all.” Come here for a light lunch of gazpacho and tortilla española, or some locally roasted Kahwa coffee and a traditional dessert, like crema catalana or mantecados (Spanish crumb cookies). A ticket to the museum is not required to dine at Café Gala, so you can treat yourself whenever you please." - Susan B. Barnes
