The Columbia Restaurant: Celebrating a Century of History, Culture, and Cuisine

by Andrew T. Huse

Behind the scenes at one of Florida's most beloved restaurants

The Columbia is Florida's oldest and most honored restaurant. Founded in 1905 as a cafe catering to immigrant cigar workers in Ybor City, it has grown into one of the culinary touchstones of the state. Handed down from generation to generation, the Columbia remains family owned and operated, with seven locations from St. Augustine to Sarasota.
