Dade City Restaurants

Dade City has much to offer when it comes to variety. Southern, American, Cuban, and Mexican are just some of the types of cuisines available. In the center of Florida, you may want to try some of the state's most well-known dishes. Florida stone crab is an interesting dish, not only for the taste but for how the crab meat is harvested. The crab is harvested alive, the claws are removed, and the crab is then returned to the water where it will regrow its claws. This crab dish is often compared to lobster and usually served cold with mustard sauce, but it may also be served warm with melted butter for dipping. Another iconic local seafood choice is a dish featuring conch fritters, which are deep-fried and seasoned meats from conch snails.
