Lilac

at The Tampa EDITION

Tampa • United States

Overview

Lilac is a modern Mediterranean restaurant helmed by Michelin-starred chef and California native, John Fraser. The dining room’s walnut flooring and the warm glow from the pendant globes create an elevated, convivial space focused around an eight-seat Christian Liaigre chef’s counter in sandblasted walnut and a lively open kitchen. Taking its cues from Fraser’s Greek heritage and his admiration of Turkish cuisine, Lilac’s balanced menu is a celebration of the chef’s vegetable-forward philosophy using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients.
