Little Something Different

About Us

Little Something Different brings a playful, creative dining experience to the heart of downtown Mount Dora. Located at 426 N. Donnelly Street, this locally owned restaurant was built around a simple promise: to offer something different, not just on the plate, but in the entire experience.

The menu blends comfort food, shareable plates, bold flavors, and thoughtful presentation in a welcoming setting where guests can slow down and try something new. Tables often begin with rich M’N’M meatballs in red sauce with mozzarella and basil, loaded Potato Boats with cheddar, sautéed onion and BBQ pork, Caprese, fresh salads, or sides like bowtie mac-n-cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables, and fruit.

For lunch, dinner, date nights, celebrations, and casual meals downtown, Little Something Different offers a menu that feels familiar and unexpected at the same time. Guests will find inventive sandwiches, hearty plates, soups, salads, desserts, wine, beer, soft drinks, and cocktail options designed to complement the meal. Desserts are a major part of the experience, with choices like Basque cheesecake, Peanut Butter Pie, Chocolate Truffon, and Lemon Berry Mascarpone.

With its lively personality, creative menu, and friendly hospitality, Little Something Different has quickly become a memorable stop in Mount Dora’s dining scene. Whether you are planning a cozy dinner for two, meeting friends before exploring downtown, or looking for a locally owned restaurant with a fresh point of view, this Donnelly Street restaurant delivers a dining experience that lives up to its name.
