Our Story

celebrating culinary traditions and innovations.

1921 Mount Dora takes a forward-thinking outlook on the bounty of ingredients and culinary traditions that encompass the local community as well as a true reflection of contemporary Florida cuisine.

With close access to some of the best local produce, meat, and seafood Florida has to offer, Mount Dora is a fitting location for us in terms of sourcing ingredients for our menu and connecting the restaurant with the local community that shapes our philosophy. We celebrate modern cooking while also incorporating time honored traditions of Florida.

Situated in a converted home built in 1921, we employ sustainable practices when sourcing ingredients. The restaurant works closely with local farms and purveyors within Mount Dora and the surrounding area, maintaining an allegiance to the local growers, producers and food artisans of Florida and the Southeast, whenever possible.
