A word from Bagatelle
A visit to our house is a unique way to relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures as well as our treasures from the sea. The word Bagatelle comes from the French and means "a trifle or a little nothing", often referring to a light, fun, yet not too serious spring time romance. The French brought… their history of fine cuisine and their love of wine to the Caribbean Islands. It is in this tradition that we have combined our French heritage, southern hospitality and the indigenous tastes of the Florida Keys into the meals we prepare today. Our chefs blend the best of our locally caught fresh seafood, fresh produce and delicious tropical fruits for our tropical seafood dishes.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "Our friend had recommended Bagatelle, and we were so glad we listened to their recommendation. The cab driver also told us that it's a locals' favorite spot - so that definitely tells you something. Our drinks and dinner were fantastic. As an appetizer, we had the BBQ Shrimp. Wish we could have had a huge plate of it - to die for good. Ask to sit upstairs...we had a great table overlooking Duval Street. We also could hear the great live music over at Hog's Breath, too, which was nice. Great restaurant!!! Highly recommend."

  • "Such a great place lunch or dinner. Have been eating there for 4 years and never a bad meal. Great cocktails, awesome wine list and right on Duval. Highly recommend!"

  • "Had a great dinner at Bagatelle. We ate a late lunch, so two of us got the buratta and tomato salad with avocados, which was incredibly tasty and enormous. It would have been hard to eat that and an entrée anyway. Also shared a lobster mac and cheese side dish that was again a large portion (for a side dish) and very good with numerous chunks of lobster you could actually see. My young daughter had a plate of pasta that they brought out early so she did not have to wait - they were very accommodating of her. We sat outside, which was beautiful and not at all noisy. The service was fantastic, nothing took too long to come out and the waitstaff was friendly and helpful."

  • "We had a small Wedding Reception here. Great food and staff. Great location on Duval near all if the good bars but quiet enough to enjoy an intimate dinner. Tables on both levels of porch look over Duval."

  • "We were looking for a restaurant not a bar scene. As a college professor we were on spring break, traveling to warmer weather, but not interested in dining with the Spring break scene. Enjoyed lunch here, too."

  • "But it took an hour to get our food! Place was not even busy!! Too many other great Restaurants in Key West to waste your time in this one."

  • "I hope this was not normal. I've been to bagatelle a few years ago. This time the service was terrible and overshadowed the good food. Wine not served until after soup was finished. And a sorry bout it attitude"

  • "We have eaten here many times. The food is always fresh with new items each visit. Great view - right on Duvall street but very romantic too!"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Service here was some of the best I experienced while in key west. Food was very good only negative was an overdressed salad. But entrees and soup were great. Good reasonably priced wine list."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "We sat outside and the noise level was a bit disconcerting. The restaurant did not have our reservations (that's the first time "ever" a restaurant did not have our reservations when we booked on open table). However, they were able to seat us promptly and the food was excellent."
    Dined on 1/20/2014
  • "The food was DELISH!!! Just AMAZING! Our server was nice but not too attentive to our table. That was our only complaint!"
    Dined on 1/20/2014
  • "Food is very good but expect to pay much higher prices than many of the other restaurants in the area. We had the grouper with a blood orand burre blanc that was fantastic and pork belly as an appetizer that was equally as good. The lobster Mac-n-cheese is a must try. Nice patio setting right on Duval street."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Did not live up to reviews. Grouper was not available and they substituted skirt steak for ribeye. Chewy but tasty. My filet was blue and I asked for medium. Sent it back and it arrived back the same . The salads were excellent."

  • "We had a great time on New Years Eve. The preset meal was terrific. And they were great with our kids."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "Very good culinary experience for New Years eve, which is a compliment to the Chef as it could not have been easy to deliver the quality of food that we had at that event. It was a fixed selection menu and every course chosen by our party was truly well cooked and well presented. The service instead was a little slow and somewhat harried, but I think that was due to insufficient servers being on the floor."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We (party of four) went there on Christmas day (2013). The waitress was nice, but very busy. The restaurant was crowded. Our first dish with raw scallops was very good. The main course, the lobster was a nightmare. The lobster was overcooked and therefore very chewy. The desserts were ok. I would go back one more time when it is less busy just to try it one more time."

  • "Had great service from Roxanne. Food was very good. Mussels were delicious. One flaw is we sat upstairs and ever time someone stepped onto porch, where we were seated the whole porch shook. Got quite annoying"
    Dined on 12/30/2013
  • "We sat at table on the veranda overlooking the stream of tourists on Duval Street. The wine list was fine and the menu had something for everyone. The chef made a special dish for one of us who had an upset stomach. The wait staff was simply superb. Overall a great dining experience!"

  • "We had a group of 12 vacationing in Key West and set up a reservation at Bagatelle. They did not receive their fish order so both the Grouper and Snapper were not available. The menu is limited, so with 2 entrees missing, we should have left right away. The salads were good, but everything else was just fair!!! Our waitress suggested the shrimp, since there wasn't any fish. Her attitude was not good, but with a large group, the waiter is always guaranteed their 18-20% tip. The service was poor, we waited to get our drinks refilled and then waited about 20 minutes to get our checks and pay. I do not recommend this restaurant."

  • "We were seeking the best swordfish restaurant in Key West...we're sent to Bagatelle...and we're not is appointed."
    Dined on 12/14/2013
  • "We came to Key West to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Since we came here for our honeymoon 6 years ago, and we really enjoyed the dinner we ate at a different restaurant, Bagatelle was our second choice. The restaurant we inteded to go to was closed for a private party, so we had to go for a back up solution. We both had the Surf & Turf dinner, and the food was very good. Service was also good, and the restaurant had a nice laidback ambience."
    Dined on 12/10/2013
  • "The service was wonderful and the food was very good. I wish they had organic choices on their menu --- they are not keeping up with the times as most good restaurants now know that customers demand sustainable food that is free of GMOs and pesticide residues. We ordered a bottle of expensive champagne from their menu only to find out 10 minutes later that it was out of stock. The sauce for the duck overpowered the flavor of the meat, but everything else tasted wonderful."
    Dined on 11/22/2013
  • "We had a fantastic dinner. We started with the BBQ shrimp wrapped in bacon. They were out of this world. I had the hog fish that was outstanding! My husband had the swordfish that he loved. Our waiter was excellent and very nice. We had a great view on the front porch where we could see all the people on Duval. It was the best and last dinner of our trip. We look forward to going back the next time we are in Key West. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone."

  • "In Key West, right on Duval St, right in the middle of the action, but , up on a balcony where you can observe, and also enjoy dinner. Service is great, and helpful. Will go again when in town."
    Dined on 11/1/2013
  • "Excellent main course, and presentation, however the vegetables were almost raw and tasteless. Not a foodie excursion, however, the service and seating were about as good as they come. I expect excellent food as the foundation for a meal. One of the better meals we had in Key West in a week."
    Dined on 10/15/2013
  • "Being directly on Duval Street, I was skeptical. However, the wine list was great and the food was amazing! Four of us sat on the porch. I think it would have been different if we sat inside. The service was great and I have to say the Hog Fish, which three of us had, was amazing. This was a great find!"
