Mt Dora restaurants are ALL an overpriced, pretty tourist trap with food that is ok but not worth the money. Take a VERY short drive next door to Tavares for dinner at Havana 1959 Cuban Cuisine. Family-run Cuban restaurant with zero tourist trap prices and location but food and service that are the BEST. Yes, you won't be dining in the pretty little town of Mt Dora, but your taste buds and friends will thank you. Save the Dora experience for a walking tour to looky-loo at all the overpriced souvenir shops and drink some coffee. Also, be prepared to circle Mt Dora quite a few times looking for the rarely available parking spot. And dress warmly, because you'll be walking a couple of blocks from the parking spot you finally found to your venue.
