The Bay Area said farewell to many restaurants, brewers and bakeries in 2023.

The ones we pay tribute to here had been favorites for years, even generations. Some chefs and owners decided to retire or take a break. Others couldn’t weather the costs of doing business in this inflationary, post-pandemic era. Or ran up against redevelopment plans. Or, sadly, faced crime and safety issues in their neighborhood.
