50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Key West

“Lovely anniversary dinner. Excellent service and meal. They had a sign on our table wishing us a happy Anniversary and we had the best view of the sunset!!“

“A & B Lobster House 700 Front St., Key West, FL 33040 4 Stars Ah, the Conch Republic. How can you not love the Key West even if it is a tourist trap. It is our tourist trap. Any place Papa Hemingway lived has to be cool. Opened 70 years ago by good friends Alonzo Cothron & Berlin Fleton, A & B Lobster House has become a Key West Waterfront icon in what is now A & B Marina. They have expanded over the decades to include a slew of eateries. Upon entering the abode, I almost thought I had stepped into an atelier; the place was so pristine and classic-looking. Michelle was the server today, and she was more or less what one expects from a place that bills itself as "fine dining." She was knowledgeable, polite, and professional. I asked for one Old Fashioned from Berlin's Bar, some Beef Carpaccio, and a New York Strip (Blackened and medium-rare) with a Caribbean Lobster Tail. Relaxing in the atmosphere of Key West, I was almost lost in the comforting arms of Hypnos when Michelle brought forth our fare. First, the Old Fashioned was made by someone who obviously knew what they were doing as it was delicious. I then turned my attention to the order of Beef Carpaccio. I learned from Michelle that the "fresh baked" part of this was neither fresh nor baked on-site. As I've stated a million times, if a dish involves any bread or pastry product, it has to start with the bread or pastry. If that is off, it throws the whole dish off, which was the case here. A for effort - D for quality. Moving on to the Blackened New York Strip and Caribbean Lobster Tail. Looking at the pictures, you can clearly see that beautiful, blackened crust on the charred bovine. It was cooked to a succulent medium-rare and was extremely tasty on the palate. The accompanying Lobster Tail was delightfully seasoned, grilled to perfection and caused my taste buds to break into a Bruckins as they were freed of crappy food for the nonce. The Carpaccio and bread are a 1, while I found the NY Strip and Lobster Tail to be a 4.5. Hence, the overall rating of a 4 -- giving greater weight to the entree. The Big Boy says, "I'm not sure if there is better dining in tourist trap haven, but it's miles above anything up in Cocoa Beach serving the same feed."“

“One of the best hotel and cafe restaurants in key west“

“Awesome restaurant and menu. Very, very friendly service!“

“Celebrated my 30th birthday here and it was by far the best food we ate in Key West. We ordered the Asiago bread and squid for our appetizers. The squid was FABULOUS!!! I’ve been craving it since! For dinner we did the wahoo, swordfish, prime rib and chicken. All of which we were each raving about to each other! The atmosphere was dimmed candle lit tables and our server was great! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to taste high end food and it be up to par! Will definitely be back!“

“if you truly want fresh fish, as well as coleslaw made when you order, fresh homemade black beans and rice, or french fries cut from potatoes that morning, B.O.'s is the only place you're going to get that in key West!!!“

“Being from Canada we were looking forward to trying this little quirky restaurant on a boat . Ribs and brisket were excellent and best baked beans I’ve ever tasted. Apparently missed the neighbour hood manatee who lives in the port . We would definitely visit again !“

“My husband and I were there tonight. We were at your restaurant 12 years ago and we had the Soul Mama soup then and I had to go back while in Key West to have it again. Even in 100 degree weather I had to order me some soul mama soup. The lobster special was very tempting, but I couldn’t pass up my favorite. Thank you for keeping Soul Mama on the menu ❤️🎉“

“Unfortunately the seaweed had come in and was pulled up on the beach, so the stench took away from the ambiance. Plus there was a large party who thought the entire place was theirs. Food on the other hand was really good. Would come back when the seaweed isn't so bad“

“The food is healthy and delicious. Staff friendly and kind. You don’t need a “Loyalty Card” just add your phone number and use your perks as you please. Customers receive credits with each purchase. This is a healthy alternative to calorie laden meals. Incorporate a few trips to Date and Thyme in your weekly routine and your belly will smile. Mine gets happy with the Blueberry Bliss smoothie, organic apples (quick snack), espresso, the prepared foods (some make a great meal right on premises). There is ample seating and shade to keep you cool. Be cool my friends!“

“We loved eating at The Cafe!! Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Being vegan on vacation can sometimes be tricky, but thankfully The Cafe has so many options for every meal. We were only in town for a few days, but we ate at the cafe five times! It was that good and service was always fast and friendly. We can’t wait to visit again and order that kale salad, the empanadas, and quesadillas!“

“Heads up…. Payed for a latte, received a regular coffee no foam. Coffee was weak. What surprised me the most was that they were adamant that it was a latte. Other than that, the food was delicious and the pastry’s were out of this world. Happy dining“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“Our favorite breakfast spot in Key West. Great service and super food.“

“Outstanding service! Outstanding Food!“

“We stayed down the block at a AirBnB so naturally got coffee and breakfast our first morning. It was so delicious we ate breakfast there every morning except for one (we had to leave for the ferry before they opened, so we ate dinner there that night!) All the food was amazing! Well seasoned, fresh, flavorful, and portions were huge! The coffee was perfect, I really loved the cortadito and milk espreso. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations if needed.“

“Great staff, excellent tapas, the beef tenderloin is a must and priced very fairly 👍“

“Awesome breakfast, great start to our day🤗“

“This place was phenomenal all around. The owner greeted us, management all greeted us, and staff was attentive all around. Lobster pizza and the street corn pizza were phenomenal. I loved the Pina colada key lime pie. It is by far the best key lime I have tried. The view, the chickens, all of it!!“

“Misohappy food and staff were friendly,great team work,great taste and plenty of food for the right price. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“We hosted our welcome party here for about 100 guests and it was an unforgettable start to our wedding weekend! From the moment we booked, I knew the physical venue was perfect—but the actual event exceeded every expectation. The staff were truly exceptional: warm, attentive, and incredibly kind, making every guest feel welcomed. The drinks were absolutely phenomenal—it's hard to pick a favorite! Most importantly, the atmosphere the team helped create was beyond anything we could have imagined and it really set the tone for the weekend. Our welcome party was an absolute highlight for us and our guests, and we couldn’t recommend this venue, the staff, and the event team more highly. If you're considering booking an event here, do it. It was one of the best decisions we made.“

“Yes but only for the day time crew. Actually had a night out and was treated horrible from the late night staff. So sad. But after work I’ll go else where I’ll only go here with the day staff“

“We just left there and we had an amazing time staying at the campground. We went to the restaurant every day and it is really a great place to eat and hang out. We would love to see a couple of delicious desserts added to their menu, but other than that, no complaints at all! Great food, nice atmosphere, and we can’t wait to get back there in December! Also, take a short ride in a Lyft or Uber to Old Town and enjoy!!!“

“The food and service were amazing. one of the best meals I have ever had.“

“Thank you for making my wife's birthday dinner enjoyable. Everything was first class. We have been here many times and Azur is one of our favorites in town.“

“Viva was delicious! We went for an announcer dinner. We wanted a perfect steak without all the fancy ingredients & we got just that! The steak was perfect. Our server was excellent! We sat outside under the Tiki Hut, the fans and shade made it very comfortable in the Aug heat. The drinks were on point~ Highly recommend.“

“Bartender alone ! She made an Outstanding Old Fashion and grapefruit Martini.“

“Very Friendly! Great roll!“

“Fresh Food!!! Amazing service & the perfect atmosphere. Serving breakfast, lunch & dinner. Wish I found Banana Cafe on the 1st day of my vacation and not the 3rd..I missed out on 3 days of Deliciousness!!!😋 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“Fogartys was one of our favorite places to eat. Maxwell was our server and he was great! he has a wonderful personality and made sure we were well taken care of. Slushy drinks were made extremely well, and food was delicious. atmosphere was fun and laid back. 5/5 would highly recommend and definitely on our list of places to visit again in our next visit.“

“The Bartender’s and Staff are amazing! Food is consistently good, drinks as well as food is probably the most reasonably priced on the Island! Also, Sun Loungers are only $15 bucks for the entire day. The Beach is small but it’s always clean and a good vibe. Great mix of Locals and Tourists! Highly recommend for a relaxing day out 🙌“

“We loved our bartender Kristin!! She made some incredible drinks, road rummer and piná colada are a must. See ya next time we visit. Great music and friendly staff.“

“Great wings, beer and music. Really nice vibe. And Doug Is absolutely adorable!“

“great burger and service!“

“I had an exceptional dining experience at La Te Da! The food was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable dining. What truly set this place apart was the owner, Christopher, who went above and beyond to ensure every guest in my group felt welcomed and cared for. Their passion for both the food and the community was evident in every detail. I can’t recommend this gem enough—it’s a must-visit!“

“Delicious food and courteous service. An authentic gem.“

“Fast, fresh delivery. Visiting the area and pleased to have such delicious food delivered so quickly! Spinach samosas were hot and steamy upon arrival and delicious. Falafel and gyro platter come with fresh roasted vegetables- a nice, fresh non-fried choice in the keys“

“Absolutely wonderful food! Pizza, calzone, and carbonara were delicious! Calamari and caprese appetizers were fabulous too and atmosphere and service was top-notch! Highly recommend the location on Duval, down the alley!!“

“Out of the many places I enjoyed dining at this weekend, La Crêparie was at the very top of the list and the only one I had to go back to again! Spectacular food, perfect atmosphere and wonderful staff.“

“I was excited to try the food here after reading all the reviews. The service is great with very friendly staff. The food, however not bad, lacked flavor. I wasn't expecting this from a Caribbean food truck and felt disappointed. The price was also higher than what is shown in the pictures here.
The juice, though, was amazing.“

“Have been there twice. Last year was amazing. Everything perfect. This year, the special was prawn (not gulf coast shrimp as specified) and the prawn had the seafood stank, unlike typical fresh seafood. Didn’t want to cause a stink. Way overpaid IMO, we’ll be back about a 50:50 shot. Wasn’t busy? Perhaps off season? Idk.“

“OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! Only way to describe my recent experience at Chef Richie’s Lola’s Bistro. Incredible dinner with amazing sauces. Everything was great from start to finish. Will definitely eat here again. Two seatings 6:00 & 8:00. It’s BYOB. Best meal I’ve had in a long time. This place is a home run. Make sure to call ahead for reservations.“

“Best coconut margaritas 🍹“

“Stopped in for sangria and girls lunch. Wonderful service and food!“

“everything we tried was delicious from the apps to salad to pies. We will definitely be back!! Stuffed.“

“Oh my goodness, what a wonderful experience we had when dining with you on November 30th! The food was incredible and service was outstanding! If you like martinis, they have many to choose from. We celebrated my husband’s birthday with a beautiful sunset view. (Thank you to the staff for making it extra special!)Seriously, a perfect dining experience! When in Key West, definitely dine here!“

“They made us quail egg in sake shots!“

“Went to dinner at the bar before a show my wife had the best margarita of her life. Long haired bartender was entertaining and attentive. great place! great food! Tacos rock. highly recommend going there.“

“Excellent food. Their tomato bisque! Historic building. Charming.“

“We are staying in a hotel nearby and this or our second evening ordering takeout from here. The food is delicious and the portions are huge! Tonight I had the gyro and it’s hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!“
