Local Dining
Eat Your Way Through Key West
Key West’s dining scene is as colorful and distinctive as the island itself, shaped by generations of Cuban influence, fresh local seafood and a famously come-as-you-are spirit. From Cuban coffee and pressed sandwiches to open-air brunches, beachfront lunches and memorable dinners on Duval Street, these local favorites offer a taste of Key West beyond the hotel.
Kim’s Kuban
A family-owned Key West favorite since 1989, Kim’s Kuban is the place to begin the day with strong Cuban coffee, a breakfast sandwich or a classic Cubano. Casual, authentic and close to the hotel, it offers a true taste of the island’s Cuban heritage.
Blue Heaven
Tucked into historic Bahama Village, Blue Heaven is a Key West original known for open-air dining, live music and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Visit for a leisurely breakfast beneath the trees, stay for the roaming roosters and save room for a slice of Key lime pie.
Martin’s
Set along Duval Street, Martin’s pairs an elevated evening atmosphere with steak, lobster, fresh local seafood, European-inspired dishes and tropically influenced tapas. Begin with cocktails and small plates in the lounge, then settle in for an evening in the garden or dining room.
Nine One Five
Housed within a circa-1850 Victorian home on Duval Street, Nine One Five serves an eclectic, globally influenced menu accompanied by an extensive international wine list. Its inviting porch and intimate setting make it a favorite for dinner, drinks and a more refined night in Old Town.
Salute! on the Beach
Enjoy Caribbean and Italian-inspired flavors with your toes just steps from the sand. Located at Higgs Beach, Salute! is a relaxed choice for a breezy lunch, sunset dinner or drinks overlooking the Atlantic.
El Siboney
Step away from the busiest streets of Old Town for generous portions of traditional Cuban cooking at this longtime, family-friendly favorite. Roasted pork, Cuban sandwiches, rice, black beans and sweet plantains make El Siboney a delicious introduction to the flavors woven into Key West’s culture
