Stock Rock Cafe – Key West, FL
Stock Island is the key next door and great to go for dinner if you’re hoping to beat some crowds. The extra distance deters the foot traffic for shorter waits.
Half Shell Raw Bar – Key West, FL
One of the ways to scoot around downtown is the Old Town Trolley, and it was during one of these trips around the block that we hopped off to slip into Half Shell Raw Bar for an afternoon snack – happy hour pricing on raw oysters!
Duvall Street – Key West, FL
For some vacationers, shopping can be a key objective, and if that sounds like you, Duvall is a wonderful place to start.
Glazed Donuts – Key West, FL
I ordered a couple of doughnuts, but my favorite was the cinnamon sugar.
Cuban Coffee Queen – Key West, FL
I enjoyed a cuban frappe, which is a delectable blended ice coffee with a shot of cuban espresso. It was delicious and definitely gave me some extra pep in my step for the rest of my day.
Hogfish Bar & Grill – Stock Island, FL
The true star of dinner (and the namesake of the restaurant) was the fried hogfish. It has a delicate flavor, kind of similar to a buttery scallop.
Southernmost Beach Cafe – Key West, FL
We are big fans of appetizers and grabbed a couple off the menu – coconut shrimp and calamari. They were both delicious, but the coconut shrimp was my hands down favorite.
Southernmost Point – Key West, FL
If you’re hoping for a tourist photograph here, it’s best to visit first thing in the morning, as there is usually a line of people waiting for the iconic photo.
La Creperie French Cafe – Key West, FL
It was the only restaurant on the island that we visited TWICE, which I think makes it the clear favorite for the trip.
Conch Republic Seafood Company – Key West, FL
Once we were seated, we began ordering appetizers including the conch fritters that are pretty much synonymous with the Keys. They were tasty (probably the best fritters we had on the trip) and disappeared quickly. Similarly, all of the rest of our appetizers disappeared quickly as well – we were so hungry that I barely photographed our meal!
