Fish | Review
The proprietors of the restaurant at Hurricane Hole Marina opened their newest restaurant, FISH, this past Wednesday. About a 15 minute drive outside of Key West, this new seafood restaurant on Saddlebunch Keys is located in the building formerly home to Kaya Island Eats. While it looks much the same inside as it did for the last owner, there were fewer tables […]
Bien Caribbean Latino Restaurant | Review
Located at 1000 Eaton Street, Bien is a very casual eatery with limited outdoor seating. They serve breakfast and lunch. I tried it for breakfast this weekend. Bien offers many sandwich choices, all made with Cuban bread. They have both sweet and savory options. You go to the counter to order your food and they will wrap up […]

The Green Turtle Inn | Review
Every once in a while we head up the Florida Keys to visit with friends. And of course, going to new restaurants is always on my list of things to do. Well, the Green Turtle is not exactly new, but I had not eaten here for about twelve years, so I thought that it was […]
Pier House Resort’s Caribbean Spa
You are on vacation in Key West, so what better way to pamper yourself than with a relaxing day at the spa? I recently spent my birthday with Bebe at the Pier House Caribbean Spa getting a manicure and pedicure. While the cost of the services here are a bit more expensive than at the […]

It had been a long, long time since I had last eaten here. But last night my husband and I joined our friends at the Southernmost Beach Cafe for a birthday dinner celebration.

After a long bike ride all around Key West on Sunday my friend Pam was starving. “Let’s get a taco.” I am always up for food so we headed in to Death by Tako which is located at 1605 N Roosevelt. Blvd. and shares a space with Mellow Adventures. There are a few tables inside along […]
Key West and the Florida Keys: A Culinary History
I love food. I enjoy both cooking and eating out. The highlight of my day is typically what I will be consuming. I normally eat very healthy meals that are still delicious, although I of course splurge on occasion. And the Florida Keys and Key West have a rich cultural history, making there all different types […]
Incas Restaurant | Review
I had never tried Peruvian food before so a few of us decided to eat at Incas Restaurant for lunch. Located at 800 White Street in the same building as Stay Fit Gym, we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to this establishment. The huge mural of Machu Picchu on the wall transported diners to […]
