 The Hernandez Gonzmart family has been making restaurant history since 1905 when they opened their landmark Columbia Restaurant in Tampa’s Historic Ybor City, which today is Florida’s Oldest restaurant, and the World’s Largest Spanish restaurant. Today, 4th & 5th generation family members work hard to preserve the family’s legacy that their great-grandfather Casimiro Hernandez Sr. created over 100 years ago when he opened the Columbia as a corner café frequented by local cigar workers.

Today our guests enjoy many of the same century-old family recipes that have made the Columbia famous like Paella “a la Valenciana,” Snapper “Alicante” Pompano en Papillot, Corvina “Russian Style” and Filet Mignon “Columbia”.

In addition to award-winning Spanish/Cuban cuisine, Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City features flamenco dance performances nightly, Monday – Saturday. There is no show on Sunday. The Café offers live jazz Tuesday through Saturday.
