5 restaurants closed in Daytona Beach, NSB and Ormond Beach in October

Some restaurants earn a place in our routines. Over years of quick lunches, family celebrations and visits that need no special occasion , they become woven into the way we gather. October brought several goodbyes to the Volusia-Flagler dining scene, as restaurants closed their doors and left regulars to reckon with a final visit they may not have known was their last. Here’s a look at the restaurants and cafes in the Daytona Beach area that said farewell last month. Volusia restaurants that closed in October Black Butterfly NSB Black Butterfly, a quirky New Smyrna Beach cafe for stuffed croissants, puff pastries, brunch bites and shareable plates, permanently closed its doors Oct. 1 after two and a half years. The whimsical garden-themed eatery seemed to experience a slower-than-usual summer, according to its recent social media posts. “August what is happening! Think this is the beginning of the end. This Girl is not making it work with no customers. It’s just not enough to pay the bills,” an Aug. 23 Facebook posts reads. In the final week of September, the restaurant shared news of its potential closure if business didn’t pick up by the end of the month. “I’m going to

Find ceviche, steaks at Port Orange Peruvian restaurant

At Incas 360 in Port Orange, the lomo saltado makes a persuasive case for ordering a classic. Its appeal begins with the char — that deep, smoky flavor that gives the meal a little edge and keeps an already hearty plate from feeling ordinary. Sliced tenderloin is flambeed and stir-fried with tomatoes, onions, pisco and soy sauce, then finished with cilantro. While there’s plenty competing for your attention, the beef remains the draw, its fire-kissed flavor carrying through each savory bite. White rice and crispy french fries round out the plate, offering two equally welcome ways to work through what's left of the sauce. More: Best new restaurants of 2025. 10 favorites in Daytona, Flagler area The tallarin saltado pollo, or sauteed pasta and chicken, takes the meal in another satisfying direction. Long noodles mingle with tender bites of generously seasoned chicken and bright veggies, trading the familiar comfort of a cream-coated pasta dish for the appeal of a classic stir-fry. For anyone who gravitates toward noodle dishes, it’s an inviting place to start exploring the menu. Inside, the Peruvian restaurant pairs its cooking with a contemporary setting, colorful lighting and an upbeat atmosphere. Staff help make an expansive menu

Lake County restaurant first to fetch Michelin Guide recognition

Did you know that 1921 Mount Dora, beloved for its "modern Florida cuisine," is an official Michelin Guide-recommended and selected restaurant ? It's a first for Lake County cuisine. The downtown Mount Dora hub for contemporary cuisine has been recognized for quality cooking and a farm-to-table focus. Celebrity Chef Norman Van Aken helped launch 1921 Mount Dora — named after the year the historic home housing the restaurant was built — about a decade ago and set a high bar for the future success before his 2018 departure. The restaurant's staff and culinary team played major roles in its recent recognition. Longtime manager Adam Crane's career in hospitality started early and has taken him to some of Central Florida’s most acclaimed dining rooms before joining 1921 Mount Dora — including The Ravenous Pig, Prato and Luma on Park. He's a UCF Rosen College alumnus and Certified Sommelier. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu Orlando, Executive Chef Brenton Hillman , builds menus around the freshest local ingredients — working hand-in-hand with regional farmers such as Sugar Top Farms in Clermont and Far Reach Ranch in Tavares and many others to curate what he deems the best seafood, produce and meats and proteins
