Pepin Restaurant has been serving the Tampa Bay area since 1974. Founders Jose and Delia Cortes set out to establish a restaurant atmosphere that gave patrons a feeling of warmth and belonging, a place they could call home. Pepin Restaurant is a family owned business. Their daughter and son-in-law, Monique and Jim Massaro, now handle the day-to-day operations. You can still find Jose on occasion in the dining room reliving old times with some of the regulars or playing a bolero on the piano.

Pepin is tastefully decorated celebrating the genius of Pablo Picasso and the remarkable surrealistic scenes of Salvador Dali. The intimate and chic atmosphere of our bar and banquet rooms is dedicated to the wines and charming vineyards of Spain. Our banquet facilities can seat from 10 to 120 people. It is a perfect for a business meeting, rehearsal dinner or family gathering. The Piano bar is a favorite gathering place where you will find many locals sipping and boasting our sangria as the best in town. We invite you to join them and listen to some of your all time favorites on the piano.

As our motto states, "Al pan, pan, y vino, vino", only the freshest ingredients from aged steaks, homemade bread, fish from our own Gulf, freshly ground espresso, outstanding Spanish products. We offer Mediterranean style Spanish cuisine combined with some traditional American and Cuban dishes. Our array of Tapas, Spanish for "little dishes" will whet your appetite. Our wine menu includes a good selection of Spanish as well as California wines. Don't forget the Sangria! It's available in red, white, or cava.

We bring our Spanish tradition to you. Salud!
