As a foodie, meals are one of the more important parts of the holidays for me. So, when I am going someplace new, I want to know the best places to eat. Below is our listing of restaurants offering Christmas specials in Key West. (The list is not exhaustive, and it will be updated throughout the month as information becomes available).
In addition, check out my restaurant reviews as most eateries stay open throughout the holidays. Restaurants do sell out on Christmas. Therefore, I highly recommend making reservations this time of year well in advance. You can make reservations for most of these restaurants at Open Table.
Please reach out to me at islandgenn@me.com if you are a restaurant/business that wants to be featured. Provide all the details of your holiday offering in your message.
