About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
A premier choice for fine dining in Old Town Key West.

Like Charleston and other great ports of the South, Key West offers endless inspiration for chefs. Once a stop on trade routes to the Caribbean, the island developed a signature cuisine that’s practically an open book for flavors. Pair this with the bounty from two bodies of water and the signatures of great chefs who have dedicated time here and a compelling cuisine emerges.

From its inception, Café Marquesa has led the way in expressing a unique, coastal cuisine. Our kitchen combines the finest seafood, meats, and produce with classic preparations and creativity. We offer fine dining with an authentic, homespun essence, like freshly baked bread and desserts made daily in-house. A local favorite for special occasions, and a place to settle into and savor. Every dinner layers memory upon memory. Join us and find yours.

    While the restaurant did not have the bottle of wine we selected from their wine list nor did they have the swordfish available, the waitress provided beautiful substitute recommendations that were perfectly paired.

    ended up with a staple in my food, they comped dessert and appetizer but ruined the experience, and was hard to get my waiter attention most of the time

    Food and service were outstanding, and setting is classic. Noise level was moderate to high which made conversation difficult at times. This restaurant was among the best I’ve experienced in my travels! We will definitely be back.

    From the personal greeting when we entered to the gracious thank you as we left, Cafe Marquesa was a wonderful experience. Our breakfasts were tasty and artfully presented. Service was friendly and attentive. Ambience is small, quiet, private and artful. We have dinner reservations later this week and can’t wait to return. One of the best, if not the best, restaurants in Key West!
