2 restaurants close, while 10 new open in Volusia-Flagler: Latin, Italian, Greek and more
As the local dining scene continues to evolve in the Sunshine State, we are inevitably thrilled to say hello to new restaurants and disheartened to say goodbye to old favorites.
Throughout the month, while some restaurants close their doors, others serving new and unique offerings from deep-fried favorites and sauce-smothered bites to sweet treats and so much more have opened their doors here in the Daytona Beach area, keeping our stomachs full, spirits high and community thriving.
While we sadly say our goodbye's to some, we also welcome a plethora of quickly-growing, go-to spots. So, if you’re looking to stop in somewhere new for breakfast, lunch or dinner, check out the latest restaurants and cafés that have opened their doors in Volusia-Flagler during the month of October.
