Creative tasting menu featuring Scandinavian-inspired dishes
"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." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Chef Ebbe Vollmer's eponymous downtown dweller isn't your typical Tampa restaurant. Sleek and contemporary with a space dominated by a U-shaped marble bar, it's hyper-focused with just one tasting menu. Scandinavian elements make their way onto the dishes here, hinting at the chef's Swedish background, and the cooking is both clever and confident without superfluous fuss." - The MICHELIN Guide

Artful plating takes center stage in dishes like the beet roulade with a brown butter and black cherry sauce. Fermented white asparagus beurre monté and sautéed spinach make a beautiful base for tender turbot that comes alive with a quenelle of sturgeon caviar. Braised oxtail with seared foie gras and a brunoise of sunchoke is equally rich and tender." - MICHELIN Guide
"Helmed by a chef who also runs a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Sweden, this Tampa tasting-menu restaurant offers a slightly more compact but still lengthy multi-course experience with more than 14 courses, reflecting fine-dining precision in a condensed format." - BySam Stone
"Other restaurant newcomers to seek out around Tampa include Ebbe–Chef’s Counter, a few blocks off the Tampa Riverwalk and where Swedish chef Ebbe Volmer’s seasonal tasting menus are served in an intimate 24-seat space."
