Key Largo Restaurants

Key Largo's cuisine is dominated by seafood. Florida spiny lobster, tuna, and even swordfish all play center stage. For the more adventurous eater, alligator ribs and sausage are worth a taste; locals say it tastes like chicken or pork. Cajun cooks will use tail meat from 4- or 5-foot gators, which offer the most tender meat. Florida's historic connection to the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Latin America is reflected in local recipes like conch chowder. Key Largo's many resorts all offer onsite dining with menus reflecting both local and global tastes. Wherever you eat, you'll find key lime pie, the iconic dish of South Florida, on the dessert menu. For any meal with exotic flavors, this pie is the perfect tangy finish.
