Life in Lake Local Guide
Eustis Restaurants
Eustis sits right on the Harris Chain of Lakes, and that shows up on its dinner menus, waterfront seafood grills, dockside sports bars and a small but lively downtown packed with everything from Jamaican and Thai food to a 50-year-old family pizza spot.
I live and work just down the road in Mount Dora, so I've put this guide together the way I'd point a friend around Eustis: by what's downtown, what's on the water, and what's worth the short drive to find.
Restaurant hours, menus and reservation policies can change. Check directly with the restaurant before making a special trip.
