3 of the Best Key West Restaurants with Ocean Views
You don’t have to go far to enjoy world-class restaurants and unique dining experiences in Key West! Close to our beach resort is where you’ll find great food, fun, and, to top it off, spectacular Atlantic ocean views. Here are our three favorite beach bars and restaurants serving up the best island cuisine and more: Southernmost Beach Cafe, Louie’s Backyard, and Salute! On The Beach!
Southernmost Beach Cafe
Located where the Atlantic meets the world-famous Duval Street and where you’ll dine at the closest restaurant to Cuba is Southernmost Beach Cafe, steps from our resort on South Beach.
Just 90 miles from Cuba with the Atlantic Ocean as its backdrop and the beach as its backdoor, the Southernmost Beach Café serves up locally-inspired Key West cuisine and boat-to-table freshness with a little twist. Treat yourself to the Café’s uniquely Southernmost menu, a blend of Caribbean and Asian-fusion along with the most creative cocktails in the most desirable oceanfront dining.

Louie’s Backyard
Fine Dining in Key West with an Ocean View
What to say about Louie’s Backyard? Besides, it is a must-go-to experience the food, drink, and oh that amazing ocean view! Go early and enjoy a drink or two at the AfterDeck. Another tip, ask for a table with a view!
The Café at Louie’s/Wine Bar is located upstairs and offers a perfect setting for sipping and tasting. Learn more about The Cafe’ at Louie’s.
“Oh, if only for a backyard as beautiful as the spectacular oceanfront setting offered by this Caribbean-American restaurant, Key West’s Most Popular destination, where you can dine on incredible cuisine served by a professional staff on either the fabulous multilevel deck or in the elegant dining room; it’s many folks’ idea of heaven…” – Zagat.

Louie’s is one of those places you’ll want to visit again on your next trip to paradise.
Here’s what Elizabeth Patton Forshee had to say about her experience at Louie’s Backyard, ‘‘one of the best restaurants in the Keys! The food is absolutely amazing! It was 15years ago the first time we went and just as good now! And the servers were excellent!”
The food is exceptional! On the menu, you will see a variety of land and sea options to choose from (Vegetarian too), including Foie Gras Torchon, Conch Chowder, and Aho Tuna Grilled Veal Chop and of course we can’t forget to mention Key Lime Pie.

Salute! On The Beach
Located at Higgs beach is where you’ll find Salute! On The Beach. It’s casual, laid-back island vibe and the Sister restaurant of the well-loved and infamous Blue Heaven.
