Café Solé has captured the hearts and palates of locals and visitors lucky enough to discover this culinary gem off the beaten path. By combining his French mastery of sauces with fresh locally caught seafood, John has created a menu unlike any on the island, where every dish is bursting with indescribable flavors. Mutton snapper in pesto and champagne, yellowtail in a beurre blanc of lobster or a rare hog snapper with red pepper zabaglione top a list of nightly specials. As for the classics, the Duck a L'Orange, Rack of Lamb with herb de Province and Lobster Bouillaise are as authentic as you will find this side of Paris. Chef Correa combines the best of both of his worlds, European and Caribbean to win the People's Choice and Best Entree awards at a recent Master Chefs Classic

    This place is a true hidden gem. Doesn’t look like much on the outside but is quite comfortable inside and the service and food are top notch. The chef is truly inspired. I ate here @ 14 years ago and remembered that meal (got the hogfish special) and how amazing it was and I was very happy to be able to say that the food and service are just as amazing as I remembered! If you’re in key west and you like seafood I highly recommend this spot. It is pricey but worth every penny.

    My family dined at Cafe Sole tonight and it was quite lovely. The service was great, I love the ambiance and the food was delicious. I had french onion soup, Caesar salad and Rack of lamb. All of my choices were prepared perfectly. Some other things eaten at the table were the beet salad and Portobello soup. They were both out of this world. We will definitely dine at Cafe Sole again.

    Our entire party did not enjoy this meal. Sadly, the food prep was not up to par. Fish way overcooked, salad tasteless etc. We expected much better for the price. Cannot recommend

    The portobello soup was to die for, so were the Hogfish and the key lime pie. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

    We enjoy good food, and this was not our first visit to Cafe Sole…..we were not disappointed. We chose the lobster bisque and the portobello soup for our apps, and they were excellent. However diners should be aware the portobello soup carries a pretty strong dose of black pepper, so be aware if that is an issue for anyone. Our entree’s were the hog fish (house specialty), and the crisp duck. Both dishes and the accompanying sides were very good. We shall return weekly during our January stay on KW!

    Cozy, Romantic, and Intimate are the adjectives that come to mind. Outstanding cuisine flawlessly prepared and served. While there are many in Key West, Cafe Sole is a "must do" on the "to do list" when in the Conch Republic.
