A Menu Guided by Craft and Choice

Lilac’s evolving menu format invites guests to experience the restaurant on their own terms. Choose an eight-course chef-curated tasting menu—an immersive exploration of the kitchen’s most refined expressions—or opt for the à la carte menu, designed for guests who prefer to shape their own culinary journey. Whether visiting for the first time or returning for a favorite, Lilac offers flexibility without compromise.

Mediterranean Roots, Tampa Bay Influence

Using locally sourced produce and premium ingredients, each dish reinterprets Mediterranean classics through the lens of Tampa Bay’s artisans and coastal character. Standout offerings include spice-crusted tuna with chickpea-ramp hummus, pork belly with Spanish octopus and nduja sausage, and scamp grouper à la plancha with eggplant caviar—pairing sun-kissed Mediterranean flavors with regional nuance.

An Atmosphere Designed to Engage

Located on the main floor of The Tampa EDITION, Lilac’s convivial setting features walnut flooring, globe pendant lighting, and an eight-seat Christian Liaigre chef’s counter in sandblasted walnut, positioned directly across from the open kitchen. The space reflects the restaurant’s philosophy—welcoming, refined, and deeply connected to the craft unfolding within.

Together, cuisine, setting, and service place Lilac among the most distinctive restaurants in Tampa, offering a dining experience that is both globally inspired and unmistakably local.
