Nine Inspectors’ Favorites in Florida in 2025

"Viewed as a particularly skilled and memorable meal in Tampa, this relaxed, handsome bar concept shares a front door and kitchen with its sibling and focuses on seafood with Swedish and global touches. Diners can choose between a concise tasting menu and easy à la carte ordering, and it’s tempting to construct a meal from lighter bites such as Alaskan smoked salmon prepared as an éclair or crab salad with pink grapefruit and grilled avocado. Heartier options like meatballs and schnitzel beckon, but the fish soup is the must-order item: made with excellent stock, fennel, and just a touch of cream, it’s described as a comforting masterclass in balance and finesse, and those who really love rum will appreciate the boozy baba au rhum for dessert." - Nancy DePalma

"For a glimpse into the excellence that awaits at Ebbe, snag a seat at this relaxed, handsome bar concept which shares the same front door and kitchen. Seafood with Swedish and global touches forms the heart of a menu that offers both a concise tasting as well as easy à la carte ordering. You might consider making a meal out of lighter bites, starting with Alaskan smoked salmon prepared as an éclair or, perhaps, crab salad with pink grapefruit and grilled avocado. Meatballs and schnitzel are tempting entrees, but do not miss the fish soup. Made with excellent stock, fennel, and just a touch of cream, it is a comforting masterclass in balance and finesse. Those who really love rum will find a friend in the boozy baba au rhum." - Michelin Inspector

14 New Restaurants Get Added to Florida’s Competitive Michelin Guide | Eater Miami

"A Scandinavian enterprise in the Tampa area, this restaurant was named among 14 new additions the Florida Michelin Guide teased Wednesday and will be listed as “recommended” in the guide from the tire company, including on the Michelin website. The announcement emphasized that information on star awards and Bib Gourmand designations will be released later (and that some of the newly listed restaurants may ultimately earn that nod); Florida’s Michelin Guide ceremony is scheduled for April 17 at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at the Walt Disney World Resort as coverage expands." - Missy Frederick

The food was truly over the top, an unforgettable experience of flavors. Every bite was so unique that I could taste each ingredient individually, yet everything came together beautifully. It didn’t feel like just one meal, but a journey of taste. Our server, Amanda, was absolutely amazing. She described every dish with such passion that I felt like I was tasting the fish with my mind before even trying it. Her energy and attention made the entire experience even more special. Highly recommended this place turn food to art

Fisk, located in the same building as ebbe was overall a nice experience. Amanda was the star of the show. Her bubbly and funny personality paired with her understanding of the food (she made some great suggestions), really added to the experience. Without Amanda this restaurant would've gotten a 4 star. The food overall was decent. Nothing really stood out as vastly unique in flavor, and the pricing was high-to-fair. Overall the food was good minus the dry Swedish meatballs. I struck out on the first two dishes I requested (they ran out). While given we showed up to a late reservation, this restaurant may want to consider a pre order to make sure the customer gets the dish they want. For this price range I dont think I should be denied the top 2 dishes I craved and be forced to a third option. The drink selection is lacking but the quality of the drinks made up for the small drink line up. Decour is higher end with a dark, almost Gothic urban feel. No complaints as far as decour. This restaurant is easily accessible by foot but plan to uber or pay for parking. I generally leave very long detailed reviews but this restaurant really is what it is. It lacks in culinary dynamics but makes up for it in staff and decour. I think id give ebbe a shot next but im not sure fisk is worth coming back to. Without Amanda this experience would've been very lacking for the price range. Thanks Amanda!

I enjoyed the Swedish meatballs, smoked salmon, and the Fisk soup. These are legendary staples of the Scandinavian region! I also enjoyed how well the chefs here take their time to explain the dishes and the stories behind them. The service is top notch. The quality of the dishes is also excellent. I can see why Fisk is a Michelin Guide honorable mention.

Tried Fisk for the first time last night and absolutely had an amazing experience. I had never tried Scandinavian food before and I loved every dish. My personal favorites were the lobster, the beetroot tartar, the Swedish meatballs, the fish pie croquettes, the smoked salmon eclair, and the Fisk soup! We definitely plan to return to try everything else on the menu. The chefs there were so personable and helpful and obviously had a love for their craft. I’m excited to come back to try more delicious things and to also experience the tasting menu at EBBE, which is in the same large room but separated from Fisk by a partition (the building is the old Fly bar on Franklin). Special shoutout to Chefs Ocean, Ryan, and Daniel who were so welcoming and attentive.

My husband and I had an unforgettable dining experience at Fisk last night, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have this new Scandinavian gem in Tampa. It’s not often we find Nordic cuisine here, so we were eager to try it—and it absolutely lived up to our expectations. Our meal began with a smoked salmon éclair, an unexpected yet delightful bite that was both unique and beautifully executed. Next, we had a tuna tartare served in a crisp toasted shell with a silky avocado mousse. The tuna was impeccably fresh, with its clean, vibrant flavor truly standing out. We also enjoyed a crab salad, which was light and refreshing, offering a perfect contrast to the richness of our other dishes. One of the most memorable parts of the evening was the Swedish meatballs, which instantly transported us back to our honeymoon in Stockholm. The flavors were warm, comforting, and perfectly balanced. We also shared a steak, cooked to absolute perfection—tender, well-seasoned, and expertly marinated. For dessert, we indulged in Fisk’s take on a strawberry shortcake, made with fresh Florida strawberries at the peak of their season. It was a lovely, local touch and the perfect way to round out our meal. Another highlight was seeing the chef out speaking with guests, a thoughtful gesture that showed his genuine care for both the food and the dining experience. While the bar program could use a bit of fine-tuning, I did have one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had, made with aquavit—a rare and exciting addition in Tampa. Between the exceptional food, warm hospitality, and attention to detail, Fisk has made an outstanding first impression. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Great experience and amazing food. Chef Ebbe has created a wonderful experience. Everything we had was amazing. The fish soup is comfort food in a bowl. The broth is amazing, and you need to order the bread to dip into the soup. The caviar was great, and the waffles chef has paired with it are so lite and airy. We ordered the Turbot, and it comes with leaks (best I've ever had), potatoes, and spinach. Can't say enough good things about tonight. We will be regulars here for sure.

We had dinner at Fisk to see if we would like the taste and experience of Swedish cuisine before we popped for the elevated experience of Ebbe. Every course was imaginative and well prepared and delicious. We started with the smoked salmon eclair which was just outrageously good. From there, we had the crab salad, beef tartare, lobster with white asparagus, Swedish meatballs, and Fisk soup. The two of us shared every dish. All were delicious. We finished with the strawberry crumble which was the perfect ending. We tried the Riesling and a French Sauvignon Blanc and both paired very well with most of the dishes. Meeting Chef Ebbe Vollmer made the experience even more special. When I told him my wife would like to try Ebbe (I was at Fisk with my son), but that she thought it might be too much fish, he said to email him and he would accommodate for her likes and dislikes. Very nice gesture for a set dinner menu. Though I would say Swedish is not my favorite cuisine, we both like Fisk enough that we very much look forward to trying Ebbe and the Chef’s restaurant in Mamlo, Vollmer, as I go to Copenhagen on occasion.

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Fisk on their 10th day after opening. The Chef was polite, attentive, and recommended the absolute best food for our dining experience. Expect bar seating; there are no tables. Note: everything was visually appealing and delicious! What we ate: • Smoked Salmon Éclair (one count per order). Absolutely amazing! You’ll definitely want your own. •Beetroot-Horseradish-Russets Tartare (Recommended by the Chef) - flavorful & light. We truly enjoyed it! •Swedish Meatballs - One of my favorite dishes! Meatballs were cooked to perfection and the potatoes were so creamy. • Fisk soup - If the Chef had not recommended this after we put in our order, we honestly would not have experienced one of the most flavorful soups we had ever had. Seriously 10/10 •Red Snapper (Chef’s recommendation) Incredible flavor combination! Absolutely recommend on your first visit. • Gingerbread tiramisu - An absolute must if it’s available. This is possibly a seasonal dessert. I hope to have this again! Overall, we truly enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and service. We will be back for more!

We dined in at Fisk on Friday night. We have dined at EBBE as well and loved our experience so we were looking forward ro dinner here. This restaurant is in the same building as EBBE and it is more casual and serves "family styled" meals to be shared. The food in my opinion was still Michelin starred level as is EBBE. I would highly recommend the Fisk soup, crab salad, and tuna tartare. The Fisk soup is made with a fish broth, but it is not fishy it is actually creamy and herbacious and has two or three different types of fish in it. It was rather enjoyable and we got the cup which was more than enough. The crab salad was very creamy, we never found out what type of crab was in it, but the pink grapefruit paired well with it and it was very Floridian. The tuna tartare had the salt and acid that I love and I also love tuna. This one was my favorite out of the crab salad and tuna tartare. They had no issues accommodating my having Celiacs Disease and everything we had was gluten free. There is a parking lot on the side of the building. I would recommend a reservation. The restaurant on this side is pretty small so it's all bar seating or otherwise called Chef's Counter. The bar seats are very flat and have no real back support so that actually is pretty uncomfortable and there are no bar hooks for your purse. They have wine and beer. The wine selection is good. The overall space is nice, clean and chic. The decor is simple and aesthetic. Price wise it is a bit cheaper than dining at EBBE, but it's still expensive. We dined at EBBE and it was $$$$ and here it was about $$$. I would recommend both restaurants and they are both different.

Who knew Tampa was hiding this seafood gem? Fisk is serving up some seriously impressive dishes that'll make any fish lover's heart skip a beat. Let's talk about their Fisk Soup - this isn't your ordinary starter, folks. It's a bowl of pure comfort that'll have you contemplating whether it's socially acceptable to lick the bowl clean (no judgment here!). The Red Snapper? Absolute perfection on a plate. They've mastered the art of letting this beauty shine without overdoing it. But here's the real plot twist - their salmon éclair dessert. Yes, you read that right. It sounds skeptical, tastes amazing, and somehow works so brilliantly. What can I say except "You're Welcome!"

Disappointing TBH sat at the bar, not at the fancier prix fixe restaurant section. An "old fashioned" was just bourbon with tho small ice pieces, not the usual garnish but that's ok. Had to ask for napkins but hey! Salmon eclairs were good, but crab salad didn't evoke much. Soup was ok, more salmon. The fish was a bit bland and almost cold. Desert was good. Then the lights went off for the next 20 minutes! A chance occurrence, likely not their fault, but a completely missed opportunity to acknowledge the fact and come up with a save by offering a glass of anything on the house. For the price, nothing to come back to.
