City selects longtime local restaurant to help shape the dining experience at Jacksonville’s newest waterfront destination.

European Street Cafe has been selected by the City of Jacksonville to operate the café at the new Riverfront Plaza, bringing one of Jacksonville’s most recognizable, locally owned restaurant brands to the heart of Downtown’s reimagined riverfront.

The selection places one of Jacksonville’s longest-standing local restaurants at the center of Downtown’s riverfront transformation — and it is the first of many more restaurants to come along the St. Johns River. As Riverfront Plaza becomes the city’s newest gathering place, European Street Cafe will bring nearly five decades of trusted hospitality, familiar favorites and a welcoming atmosphere to the St. Johns River, creating a destination where people naturally come together.
