Lilac
Lilac is the Mediterranean restaurant on the main floor of The Tampa EDITION on Channelside Drive, from chef John Fraser. It held one MICHELIN star in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Florida selections, which made it one of five starred restaurants in Tampa. In the 2026 statewide selection it lost the star and stayed in the guide as a Recommended restaurant, the only Tampa venue to move down a tier that year.
