Puddle Jumpers Lakeside Grill & Bar

Puddle Jumpers Lakeside Grill & Bar

Restaurant $$
Tavares

Lakeside dining with front-row views of Lake Dora and the seaplane base -- which means you might watch a plane land while you eat your burger. The seafood is fresh, the drinks are strong, and the outdoor patio is where you want to be at sunset.

Ruby Street Grille

Ruby Street Grille

Bar $$
Tavares

Tavares' go-to for lakeside live entertainment and cold drinks. Ruby Street Grille keeps the patio packed with regular live music, a solid pub menu, and views of Lake Dora. It's more bar-with-great-food than restaurant-with-a-bar.
