If humankind never learned to play with its food, it would never have learned to play with its ingredients, and the world would be one bereft bowl of gruel. Cafe Dufrain and it’s progressive world fusion are inspired by this play and pride itself with a knowledgeable serving staff, creative & eco-friend menu, with incredible downtown Tampa waterfront views that will excite all the senses.
Our menu changes seasonally and is over three quarters sustainable, organic, and/or locally grown. With a European-inspired dining room—think warm hues, hanging lamps, artwork, and clean modern lines, sans French-style cigarette smog—and eco-inspired cuisine. Throw in free WiFi, climate-controlled patio seating, and waterfront views, and you might find yourself pitching a tent made out of old magazines and staying for a few weeks.
Please contact us with questions regarding reservations, large parties, marketing material or simply to find out what new at Café Dufrain.
