Where to Eat in Key West?

Divine Dining on the Islands

Sun and sand, romantic getaways and hip dance scenes are the name of the game in the Florida Keys. The islands are saturated with places to drink, dine and dance but where are the top places, ones that you just can’t afford to miss while visiting? We picked the top three for you to check out on your next vacation in the Keys.

Considering the Keys are situated just on the edge of the Caribbean, it comes as no surprise that the number one spot is a caribbean fusion grill, Bien. Very well priced and large portions keep this Key West gem at the top of everyone’s list, along with their signature fire roasted corn on the cob. The sandwiches are to die for and you can eat outside on benches near the restaurant or take it on the road. No matter how you eat it, you will have your taste buds begging for more. Try the Caribbean pork roast sandwich and you will be in foodie heaven.

Looking for a place to take your sweetheart that will bring the wow factor?
The Butterfly Cafe at the Tranquility Bay Beachfront Resort in Marathon is a must. Reservations are recommended, serving dinner from 6pm-9pm nightly. The tropical world cuisine can be enjoyed outside right on the beach or in the incredible dining room. Mahi mahi, yellow snapper and coconut shrimp are just a few of the items on the menu that will melt in your mouth. Dress up and enjoy an evening at the luxurious Butterfly Cafe.
