Bidding farewell to the Gainesville restaurants lost this year
The Swamp, Felipe’s Mexican Taqueria and more eateries closed their doors in 2020 December 11, 2020 | 12:50pm EST
While Gainesville may be a city landlocked in the middle of Florida, its lively food scene still manages to foster a cult following and rivals its culinary competition around the state.
Some restaurants may have shut their doors for good, such as Emiliano’s Cafe in 2019 and a slew of fan favorites this year, due to hardships brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and other reasons. But Gainesville’s entrepreneurial environment has allowed the birth of many establishments, including Satch Squared at the 4th Avenue Food Park and a new food trailer for Halo Potato Donuts.
