Key West, Florida

Monroe County ยท 383 restaurants

At the end of the Overseas Highway, Key West packs over 370 restaurants onto a tiny island just 2 miles wide and 4 miles long. Duval Street is the main artery of tourist dining โ€” from rowdy bars to upscale seafood houses โ€” while the quieter streets of Old Town hide some of the best meals in the Florida Keys. Fresh-caught fish, Key lime pie, and a Caribbean-influenced culinary identity make Key West's food scene as unique as the island itself.

Important context for city pages

City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
