Civilization is a great place to get brunch in Gainesville. They have a wide variety of brunch options all very unique. Pictured is the black beans and rice breakfast. In addition to the black beans and rice it includes two poached eggs, avocado, cheese and fried tortillas. The other item pictured is the frittata that included red and green peppers, manchego cheese and green olives. Finally if you have a sweet tooth check out the Lemon Ricotta beignets with a rasberry dipping sauce. The service is fast here and they do a good job making sure your drinks are full and bringing anything you need quickly.
When we visit Gainesville two or three times a year we make a point of having a meal at Civilization. It has become one of our favorites! The ingredients are fresh and the recipes are innovative such that these dishes are not offered in our area, for sure! We began with an order of Lemon Ricotta Bengiets - which I highly recommend. Someone at the table will always have Swamp Eggs; we feel it's the best thing on the menu! Whoever came up with the idea of collard greens, potatoes and eggs is a genius. This time we added grits Florentine and the Challah French Toast. There were multiple orders of Applewood bacon on the table- all expertly prepared. The service is attentive without hovering and the atmosphere is delightful. Everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves!
Because i had a burg on my mind, i headed over to Civilizations & ordered their Hemingway burger. A little greasy (i assume 80/20 ground beef), but delightfully seasoned, fresh toppers, good bun, and the best fries in this town. Thats right, best fries in Gainesville, hands down. Sometimes the service can be slow, but always worth the wait
