Delectable Key West Restaurants for Sea-Fresh Caribbean Dining
It’s no secret: Florida is known for its impeccable seafood. And there’s no better way to savor the flavor of the Caribbean than dining at some of the best restaurants Key West has to offer. Our favorites here at Silver Palms Inn include:El Siboney Restaurant
900 Catherine Street
Affordably priced, wholly authentic Cuban dishes are what you’ll find at this rustic eatery in Old Town. The Housemade Sangria is to-die-for, while the Cuban Mix Sandwich makes the perfect lunch. For something special, call an hour before you arrive and order the seafood-rich Paella Valenciana.
Blue Heaven
729 Thomas Street
Roosters and chickens roam at your feet as you dig into soul-satisfying plates of Caribbean specialties like Jerk Chicken and BBQ Shrimp at this laid-back restaurant. For breakfast, try the Lobster Benedict or Pineapple Pancakes. And don't forget their legendary Key Lime Pie!
Nine One Five
915 Duval Street
This New York Times favorite serves fine Key West cuisine at its most artful. The residential Victorian ambience marries with the classically scrumptious plates perfectly. Anything with the words “ceviche,” “pate,” “tartare,” “carpaccio,” or “paella” in its name is sure to be a hit. Actually, everything is. You simply can’t go wrong here.
Duffy’s Steak & Lobster
1007 Simonton Street
An island mainstay since opening in 1948, this local treasure has some of the tastiest Key West staples around. Must-tries include the Conch Fritters, Fresh Florida Lobster, Shrimp Scampi, and oh-so-juicy Prime Rib.
The Flaming Buoy
1100 Packer Street
One word: WOW! Relaxed, hip, and mouthwateringly inventive, this hotspot is a real gem. Cross your fingers that the dreamily creamy Lobster Macaroni & Cheese is the daily special, but be sure to save room for the day’s Fresh Catch, too!
