"Chef Ebbe Vollmer's Scandinavian counter in downtown Tampa won a Michelin star in 2024, within a year of opening — Nordic tasting menus at a marble bar."
Ebbe sits at 1202 N Franklin Street in Tampa's downtown, a short walk from the river. It anchors part of our Tampa coverage and our fine dining guide as the city's most decorated restaurant.
Chef Ebbe Vollmer opened it in 2023 and won a Michelin star in April 2024, less than a year later. Before Tampa he ran the two-star Vollmers in his native Malmö, Sweden, with his brother.
The cooking is modern Scandinavian, built on Vollmer's Swedish background and Florida produce. It runs as two tasting menus — a five-course Discovery at $195 and an eleven-course Prestige at $295 — that rotate with the season and lean on clean, precise flavour over fuss.
Service comes from the open kitchen behind the counter, so the cooks plate in front of you. Wine and non-alcoholic pairings are offered alongside.
The room is small, sleek and contemporary, dominated by a U-shaped marble bar that wraps the kitchen. Most seats face the pass, making the meal a front-row view of the cooking.
It is an intimate counter rather than a large dining room, so seats are limited and book out. Reserve well ahead.
Ebbe suits a special anniversary, a counter-side proposal or a refined dinner to impress clients. For other Tampa tables, compare Koya, Rooster & the Till and Columbia.
Not for large groups, a la carte grazing or a budget night — it is a small, fixed tasting-menu counter where the seats are limited and the bill is high.
