4100 George J Bean Pkwy
Tampa, FL 33607
Located in Tampa International Airport in Concourse E serving Delta, Frontier and Air Canada. Inside the Columbia Restaurant Cafe at Tampa International Airport, guests can dine at a scaled-down version of the original mahogany bar at Columbia Ybor City, built more than a century ago in 1905 by the Brunswick Company. Our guests enjoy many of the same century-old family Spanish/Cuban recipes that have made the Columbia world famous. Additionally, as a convenience to early travelers, this is the only Columbia location that serves breakfast. A full bar is available. The Hernandez-Gonzmart family opened the landmark Columbia Restaurant in Tampa's historic Ybor City in 1905. Today, it’s Florida's Oldest RestaurantSM and the world's largest Spanish restaurant. Fourth and fifth generation family members work hard to preserve the family's legacy that Casimiro Hernandez, Sr., created more than 115 years ago when he opened the Columbia as a corner cafe frequented by local cigar workers.

They're definitely phoning it in a bit compared to their main locations, but you can do a lot worse than this for airport food! And they're using the best bread on their Cuban sandwiches. Good stuff.
