Old Town Tavern & Beer Garden
The first of 3 amazing restaurants in Key West is Old Town Tavern & Beer Garden. We stopped into the tavern in the afternoon. It is on the south end of Duval Street. It is super clean with a nice bright atmosphere. The staff is friendly so we asked for some local recommendations while we sat down for drinks.
Open and airy with high ceilings and a quieter atmosphere than further north on Duval. Fun, comfortable dining, where you can get a table inside or outside. We enjoyed it so much that we came back later in the week for dinner. The food is classic and simple and fresh. I had a Burrata Salad with grilled chicken.

While you are walking in this area stop at some of the cute shops! I couldn’t resist this one. Gifts, candles and clothing.
Blue Heaven
Blue Heaven is a Key West Favorite! Definitely one of 3 amazing restaurants in Key West! With a relaxed carribean atmosphere indoors and out. It is great for a romantic dinner inside or a fun night in their large outdoor area. I recommend going there for a drink even if your schedule does not allow for you to have dinner. When we were there they were serving lobster bisque. Here is the link to the current Blue Heaven Menu!
Latitudes
For a memorable dining experience that you will treasure, look no further. Latitudes is in Sunset Key with a beautiful boat ride to get there from Key West. Had to include it in my post about amazing restaurants in Key West! Breakfast, lunch or dinner on the Gulf of Mexico happen at this upscale restaurant. As soon as you know you will be spending time in Key West go ahead and make a reservation at Latitudes. The sooner the better, because the times fill up quickly around sunset since the amazing view of the is a huge draw. Don’t hesitate to take your camera to get some great photos. Our reservation time was the time the boat to Sunset Key left the pier in Key West. That is how they do their scheduling. We planned based on the timing of the sunset for that night and arrived about 30 minutes before.
The cuisine is fresh with local fish and beautiful fruit. The views do not disappoint. Reservations are required for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Latitudes menu lists awards from Open Table and Food and Wine including Most Romantic and Most Scenic. Find details and “country club casual” dress code at: https://www.sunsetkeycottages.com/
