The Goblin Market Restaurant & Lounge

The food was incredible. The simplicity of the beef stroke burger was incredible and the fluffy crispy fries. Steve was our server and he was incredibly a beat and professional. Hubby had the warm salad with chicken and he thought that was amazing as well. The sangria was really nice with the touch of cinnamon. Definitely will go back in the atmosphere is just saying something.

Definitely a place to return to! It's a quaint little restaurant in Mount Dora, Fl. The food was delicious! Our server, Chris, explained that everything is made fresh from scratch and that the chef has been with them for over 20 years. Many hand crafted drinks too, the Johnny Appleseed old fashion was great! The menu is extensive and the portions are large. The crab bisque was delicious, creamy, and thick, full of flavor with a hint of sweetness. The bar menu had great selections at good prices for those looking for a less expensive but delicious meal!

5 Stars all the way around. This is a fantastic location for a great lunch with friends. The atmosphere is very quaint, charming, relaxing, comfortable...I could go on. I am so glad a mutual friend recommended it to us.

I started with a nice craft beer and a bowl of the Irish Whiskey Onion soup. The soup was very good although I used my knife to cut through some of the cheese and fried onions. My bride ordered a sangria and a mushroom burger. The savory chicken sandwich with fries was ordered by two of us and the Philly sandwich with fries was ordered as well.

All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we had no room for dessert. While our meal for two cost over $80, it is a bit on the pricey side if you decide to have 2 beers, a sangria, soup and 2 sandwiches. But it was worth it!

This is a great place to dine. We dined on the main floor but you should check out the bar and lounge upstairs as well. Or outside. Just loved The Goblin!

Amazing experience and food! If you are visiting Mount Dora make sure to book dinner reservations at The Goblin.
I love the fact that everything is made from scratch.
Delicious and creative cocktails.
Excellent entrees!
The cheesecake with guava and pineapple topping was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had!

Mother’s Day is always very nice but this year we went to Goblin Market Restaurant. SUPERB! It was quite an experience. Ryan, our waiter, was on top of his game. The food was so delicious. Kudos to the chef. The bar served very nice cocktails. We’ll go back for sure.

The Goblin Market Restaurant & Lounge is an eclectic bistro offering a menu from around the world in a quaint setting with a courtyard. Located in historic downtown Mount Dora, Florida where lunch is always first come, first served. Reservations are highly recommended for dinner.
Atmosphere, staff (Austin, our server) and food quality was excellent! This restaurant is the best! Their dinner entrees include the New York Strip, Filet Napoleon, Prime Ribeye, Rack of Lamb, Cheshire Pork Chop and more.

What? The Goblin Market? ABSOLUTELY!!! Go out of your way to stop by and try them! We had a phenomenal time! Stopped for lunch and seated on the second floor of a nice size dining room. Our server, Mohamed, was amazing - attentive, knowledgeable, creative, funny! The food was delicious! I want to call out the crab bisque - it is different from what I have tasted before - and it only elevated my experience! So freaking- good, I scraped the last drop out of the bowl. The ciabatta - don't miss it! The burgers - oh so good! Books on the walls give such an intelligent vibe... Courtyard seating, back yard tables... Beautifully decorated! I can't wait to return for dinner!

Been here a couple of times now, and I must say this place is super cute and unique. Love the home library feel to the dining area. A good variety of things to choose from.
We started with the bread and red pepper butter which was 15/10. So so so good. I don’t even like red peppers and I practically licked the board. The Irish onion soup was really great as well! 10/10.
I love a good ceasar with anchovies. And this one definitely did not disappoint.
The carpaccio can use some improvement. Maybe adding balsamic or truffle or something along those lines, just needed a little more. The steak and veg was cooked perfectly and I loved it. Finished this dinner with a 10/10 crème brûlée. I will be coming back and trying more things.

Had a wonderful lunch in the afternoon on a Friday celebrating my mother’s birthday. She had the cashew crusted chicken sandwich on brioche bread with fruit, I had a Mushroom with Swiss cheese burger and fries! Everything was so delicious and service was fantastic! I wish I could remember my server name and give him a shout out, my apologies Always a good relaxing time at this restaurant
My “go to” while in Mount Dora !!

Phenomenal meal with fabulous service! We shared the Crab Bisque Soup as an appetizer and then devoured the Fall Harvest Salad with Salmon and the Strawberry Salmon Salad with Goat Cheese for lunch! DELICIOUS and highly recommend!

My husband and I’s first time trying The Goblin Market and we loved it! We had some drinks, the onion soup appetizer, mushroom burger, and bread pudding for dessert. Everything was so delicious! The service was also fantastic! Our waitress was bartending and still on top of everything taking great care of us. We can’t wait to go back!

This was probably one of the best dining experiences of our entire trip, which included a Cruise!!! The food was sooooooo good! Like, lick the plate, good!

We started off with muscles and crab cakes, both were cooked perfectly! Great crisp to the crab cakes, and the muscles were so tender, the coconut garlic cream it was swimming in was so delicious!

I had the chicken while my friend had the duck breast. Both were also amazing. Seasoned perfectly! The creme brule for desert was to die for and the perfect ending to a perfect meal! All portions were just right, we left perfectly satisfied without being overly stuffed.

The restaurant itself is such a fun, warm environment, quiet, surrounded by books, there was even some trivia cards nearby that we used to entertain ourselves before the food arrived.

If you're in the Orlando area and want amazing food, go out of your way and come out to Mount Dora! <3

If you decide to go to the Goblin Market, expect excellent food and service. The cauliflower appetizer and the chocolate desserts are just two of my favorites. If you enjoy outdoor seating, the back patio is adorable and private.

We had lunch at the Goblin Market during the Blueberry Festival in Mount Dora. The Irish whiskey onion soup was really good, a great twist on French onion soup. We also had the grilled bacon and cheese sandwich, which was very good also. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was very engaging and provided great service. Definitely would eat here again if we're in Mount Dora.

Quite likely one of the best dining experiences in Lake County. I've been going there for a little over 29 years, and have eaten every item on the menu at one time or another. The seasonal decor changes are always lovely. I haven't ever had a bad meal at this place. The cocktails are well crafted. The servers all aim to please. The lounge upstairs is top notch, very cozy. A pleasant atmosphere all the way around. And they are always very accommodating!

05/11/2024 - My husband and I visited for the first time for our 30 year anniversary. We had dinner reservations made for 6pm. *Dinner reservations are highly encouraged. Dinner menu is based around several entrees to choose from. They do not always have the same entrees week to week. Our meal was tender, fresh and served in a timely manner. Tony, our server is a well seasoned server for them for 15 plus years and it shows. He thoroughly explained the dinner process and went over the menu options. It's a very clean and cozy restaurant with seating inside and limited seating outside. This was a special dinner occasion for us. We would love to return to visit their lunch menu in the future.

Over the last 21 years, I have come here on a regular basis. I can not remember a time that has been less than outstanding. Dinner for two with drinks was not really expensive. Actually reasonable. The truth is it was absolutely outstanding.

Loved the food and service was great… everything we had was truly delicious!

We’ve eaten great food all over the world and we were pleasantly surprised at how good this place was! Who knew Mt. Dora was such a charming little town with gems like this?!?
Wish we had taken more pics… this was the octopus appetizer half way through!

Beautiful little romantic spot in an adorable area. Food was excellent, I had the crab bisque and the quiche. Our server was kind and attentive, the decor and atmosphere was so unique. Loved it!

The unique beauty and stylish design of this restaurant would definitely give you an impressive experience while enjoying the excellent quality of most of their dishes. The octopus would be more perfect if it was less salty a little bit. The service was very good too with polite and supportive staff members.
