Lake County restaurant first to fetch Michelin Guide recognition

Did you know that 1921 Mount Dora, beloved for its "modern Florida cuisine," is an official Michelin Guide-recommended and selected restaurant ? It's a first for Lake County cuisine. The downtown Mount Dora hub for contemporary cuisine has been recognized for quality cooking and a farm-to-table focus. Celebrity Chef Norman Van Aken helped launch 1921 Mount Dora — named after the year the historic home housing the restaurant was built — about a decade ago and set a high bar for the future success before his 2018 departure. The restaurant's staff and culinary team played major roles in its recent recognition. Longtime manager Adam Crane's career in hospitality started early and has taken him to some of Central Florida’s most acclaimed dining rooms before joining 1921 Mount Dora — including The Ravenous Pig, Prato and Luma on Park. He's a UCF Rosen College alumnus and Certified Sommelier. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu Orlando, Executive Chef Brenton Hillman , builds menus around the freshest local ingredients — working hand-in-hand with regional farmers such as Sugar Top Farms in Clermont and Far Reach Ranch in Tavares and many others to curate what he deems the best seafood, produce and meats and proteins
