During this time, the sweet, meaty claws are a delicacy that you should definitely try. Legendary is <strong>Joe&#8217;s Stone Crab<\/strong> in Miami Beach, which has been serving them for over 100 years. On the Atlantic coast, <strong>Billy&#8217;s Stone Crab<\/strong> in Hollywood or <strong>Frenchy&#8217;s Original Caf\u00e9<\/strong> in Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast are popular addresses.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top oyster spots on the Gulf Coast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/panhandle\/apalachicola\/\">Apalachicola<\/a> Bay in northwest Florida is famous for its oysters with a full-bodied, salty flavor. Although harvesting has been restricted to conserve stocks, you can still find excellent oysters, for example at <strong>Boss Oyster<\/strong> in Apalachicola or at <strong>Oystercatchers<\/strong> in Tampa &#8211; raw, grilled or gratinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shrimps from the Gulf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh shrimps, which are available in many different preparations, are particularly delicious. They are traditionally served in a basket with chips. Or as an addition to linguine Alfredo. The small shellfish can also be peeled and served with garlic bread and cole slaw. Delicious! At <strong>Salty Papa&#8217;s Shrimp<\/strong> <strong>House<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/gulf-coast\/fort-myers\/\">Fort Myers<\/a>, almost everything revolves around

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida is one of the most family-friendly destinations in the USA, and this is also reflected in its restaurants. Many restaurants offer special children&#8217;s menus, a relaxed atmosphere and areas where children can enjoy themselves. Children are often given a little pastime such as small coloring materials or puzzles. They can then take the crayons home with them. In some restaurants, such as <strong>Pinchers<\/strong>, children eat for free. Look out for &#8220;Kids eat free&#8221; signs.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food trucks &#8211; mobile variety on wheels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food trucks have become an integral part of Florida&#8217;s gastronomy scene. They bring culinary variety directly to the people &#8211; whether at street festivals, weekly markets, beach events or in special food truck parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menu ranges from juicy BBQ ribs, tacos and Caribbean bowls to creative desserts. Particularly popular with families: you can try out different cuisines without being tied to a single restaurant. Children quickly find something they like, while adults can discover something new.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Popular venues include the <strong>Orlando Food Truck Bazaar<\/strong>, the <strong>Tampa Bay Food Truck Rally<\/strong> and the <strong>Fort Lauderdale Food Truck Festival<\/strong>. Many operators work with local products, which ensures fresh and authentic dishes &#8211; and the relaxed atmosphere makes a visit an experience for the whole family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beach caf\u00e9s with children&#8217;s menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the Atlantic coast, <strong>Coconuts on the Beach<\/strong> in Cocoa Beach serves fresh seafood, burgers and a children&#8217;s menu &#8211; just a few meters from the sea. On the Gulf Coast, <strong>Doc Ford&#8217;s Rum Bar &amp; Grille<\/strong> offers family-friendly dishes in a relaxed atmosphere with water views on Sanibel Island and in Fort Myers Beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for theme park restaurants in Orlando<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dining at Florida&#8217;s theme parks is part of the experience. At <strong>Walt Disney World<\/strong>, the <strong>Be Our Guest restaurant<\/strong> in the Magic Kingdom invites you to dine in the Beast&#8217;s castle. At <strong>Universal Studios Orlando<\/strong>, Harry Potter fans can enjoy British-inspired cuisine at <strong>Three Broomsticks<\/strong>. Those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the park will find numerous casual restaurants and entertainment in one place at <strong>ICON Park<\/strong> in Orlando.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

West<\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Away from the fast food chains, Florida&#8217;s <strong>upscale gastronomy<\/strong> is versatile and accessible &#8211; from top international chefs to creative newcomers with first-class service. A reservation makes perfect sense here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Romantic waterfront restaurants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dinner with the sound of waves in the background under Florida&#8217;s setting sun is hard to beat. In the Florida Keys, <strong>Latitudes<\/strong> on Sunset Key scores with its exclusive island ambience (only accessible by boat). On the Gulf Coast, <strong>The Beach House Restaurant<\/strong> on Anna Maria Island offers fresh fish at sunset. In Miami, <strong>Smith &amp; Wollensky<\/strong> combines first-class steaks with a view of Government Cut.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Award-winning chefs in Florida<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well-known names such as Norman Van Aken, who is considered the &#8220;father of New World Cuisine&#8221;, characterize the culinary scene. Restaurants such as <strong>Victoria &amp; Albert&#8217;s<\/strong> at Disney&#8217;s Grand Floridian Resort carry AAA Five Diamond awards. <strong>Mandolin Aegean Bistro<\/strong> in Miami is also regularly praised in the national media for its authentic cuisine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional steaks &amp; steakhouses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What would a vacation in the Sunshine State be without steak? If you only think of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/fishing-florida\/fish-species\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/angeln-hochseefischen\/fischarten\/\">fish <\/a>and seafood when you think of Florida, you are missing out on another culinary strength of the Sunshine State: first-class steaks. <strong>Cattle farming <\/strong>has a long history here &#8211; Spanish settlers brought the first cattle to the state as early as the 16th century. Today, many cuts in Florida&#8217;s steakhouses come directly from regional farms, especially from Central Florida around Ocala and Kissimmee.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it&#8217;s a juicy ribeye, tender filet mignon or a perfectly grilled New York strip &#8211; Florida offers an impressive selection. Classic addresses such as <strong>Bern&#8217;s Steak House<\/strong> in Tampa are known nationwide and offer not only excellent meat quality, but also legendary wine cellars. In Miami, <strong>Prime 112<\/strong> attracts celebrities and foodies alike, while <strong>Cattleman&#8217;s Steakhouse<\/strong> in Kissimmee combines a rustic Western ambience with authentic preparation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Many steakhouses in Florida offer &#8220;Surf &amp; Turf&#8221; dishes, which combine high-quality beef with fresh lobster or prawns &#8211; the perfect combination of land and sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regional specialties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key lime pie &#8211; Florida&#8217;s sweet icon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Key Lime Pie comes from the Florida Keys and is a must for every visitor: crispy cookie base, creamy lime filling and cream or meringue on top. Try it at <strong>Kermit&#8217;s Key West Key Lime Shoppe<\/strong> or at the colorful <strong>Blue Heaven<\/strong> in Key West. But of course you can get it almost anywhere if you&#8217;re not there.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cuban Sandwich &#8211; a piece of Miami<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brought to Florida by Cuban immigrants, the Cuban Sandwich is a pressed masterpiece of roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard. It is famous in the <strong>Versailles Restaurant<\/strong> in Little Havana, but Tampa and many other places also claim the title of fast food invention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gator Bites &#8211; Florida&#8217;s wild side<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the brave, there are alligator bites &#8211; usually breaded and deep-fried, with a taste slightly reminiscent of chicken. They can be found on many menus, especially in the Everglades region. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-81de5f7f alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-8716293a uagb-faq-icon-row-reverse uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.florida-scout.com\\\/en\\\/food-and-drink\\\/culinary-overview\\\/\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What food is typical for Florida?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Typical dishes in Florida are strongly influenced by its location between the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.
