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

    1st time there on recommendation of taxi driver. Hogfish dinner was world-class as was the appetizer and seafood dish. Gracious and speedy service. Highly recommended-- one of the best meals we've had in years of travel to Key West.

    We had a wonderful birthday dinner for my sister. Our waitress Kelsey was polite, attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu / wine list. The atmosphere is awesome, it just feels special. Highly recommended for a different side of Key West 😊

    Cafe Sole was amazing as usual! My husband loved the duck and the Snapper Sole was delicious. Kelsey, our server, was friendly and attentive. It was a perfect night and the ambience in the courtyard was peaceful as well as beautiful. One of our favorite restaurants in Key West!

    Luckily for me, I have worked in the kitchen of many fine dining establishments and have dined at many Michelin star restaurants. So I try to look for restaurants with a different vibe or favor local ingredients. The reviews on this restaurant do not lie. Everything was cooked for perfection and the ambience and service was top-notch. We started with the roasted artichoke, which was quite different for us, but was cooked masterfully. The beet tomato salad had a perfect presentation and the parings on the plate blew open on the first bite. The blackened hog fish (which I have never eaten before) melts in your mouth with balanced spices and was cooked perfectly. The key lime pie with marshmallow topping and Chantilly cream had the perfect sweetness to tart ratio. By far one of the best restaurants I have been to in Key West.

    The Hog Snapper House Specialty is the best entree on the island!

    A wonderful night for 3 couples at Cafe Sole! The hogfish was delicious! Salads and anchovies on toast were terrific. Patricia was very attentive. Very cute dining area. A must visit in Key West.
