Our new go-to for waterfront brunch, Riverwalk Terrace serves fresh croissants, indulgent omelets, and Riviera-inspired dishes. We love grabbing a terrace table to enjoy the stunning bay views while sipping a mimosa—perfect for a girls’ day out or a lazy breakfast by the water!
Riverwalk Terrace, 505 Water St, Tampa, FL 33602, United States
This waterfront gem is the perfect spot to sip a spritz and soak in golden hour views. We love the spicy margarita and the chef’s kiss-worthy bites like meatballs, arancini, and paninis. Gorgeous scenery, friendly staff, and cute drinks make it a must-visit in Tampa!

For laid-back coastal dining, this spot is a must on the St. Pete Pier. Sit outside, order a round of drinks, and soak in the bay views! This is the kind of spot you go for the food and the scenery.

This coastal café blends fresh Florida flavors with a touch of Italian flair, and the waterfront views are gorgeous. We suggest trying one of their craft cocktails and saving room for house-made gelato; it’s a perfect downtown escape with friends or for a relaxing brunch!

Beachside bites and toes in the sand—Caddy’s is a local fave for laid-back waterfront dining with live music, tropical drinks, and unbeatable sunset views.

Looking for an experience beyond a waterfront view Try Salt Shack, which features a waterfront entrance! That’s right, you can not only reach the Bay restaurant by car but also by boat. This beach spot offers a beautiful view, seasonal seafood, and fun summer-inspired signature cocktails.
