Florida is one of the most visited states in America, not least because of the wealth of amazing cuisine to experience. From luxury restaurants and roadside diners, tourists in Florida are simply spoilt by the amount of choice available, whether you’re looking for the leanest meats or the sweetest deserts.
Florida is home to more than 750,000 acres of citrus groves, and that’s why they’re one of the world’s biggest exporters of limes, grapefruits and oranges. Furthermore, the state is also known for its seafood, and with its 8,000 miles of beautiful coastline, you can expect to taste some of the freshest crab in America. Let’s take a look at some of the best places for foodies to eat in Florida this year.
