"Whether it’s French toast or a hearty omelet for breakfast/brunch...a fresh fish sandwich at lunchtime, or a nice juicy dinner steak, both quality and portions are satisfying." Full review
12.0
"The oldest restaurant in Key West does not coast on reputation alone, but keeps its good eating fresh." Full review

Load up on breakfast before a day on the water (we like the eggs Benedict), kick back in the shade of the patio for a leisurely lunch of barbecue pulled pork or a fish sandwich, and be sure to arrive for dinner early to leave time for a lime juice margarita or grapefruit juice Greyhound.
"Breakfast is probably the busiest meal here, with early-morning hours (they open at 7:30 a.m.) and a range of Build Your Own Breakfast options." Full review
"Billed as the “Eldest Eating House in the Florida Keys, established 1909,” Pepe’s is as beloved to Conchs and Key Westers as the Mallory Square sunset celebration." Full review

For dessert, try the brownie pie, served warm with ice cream— ask for Cuban coffee flavor instead of vanilla.
"Opened in 1909, Pepe’s is a ramshackle place, but that doesn’t stop the throngs of people waiting in line to dive into Gulf oysters and creamed chipped beef on toast at low prices." Full review
"Pepe's serves up tasty fare all day, but it's those ample breakfasts with eye-opening mimosas and greyhound cocktails made with fresh juice that define a perfect Key West morning."

"Holding down an Old Town corner, Café Sole offers Provence-inspired bistro fare making use of fresh Keys seafood." Full review
"Café Solé's off-the-beaten path address is just one of its many charms (it's hard to just stumble across, which is why it's such a hit with locals)." Full review
"Conch carpaccio with capers? Yellowtail fillet and foie gras? Oh yes." Full review
