About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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

    We were greeted warmly when we arrived. The covered patio was the perfect amount of balmy for a 9:00PM dinner. The hogfish traditional is the dish to tr but everything sampled at the table was wonderful. The wine list is wide enough to pair with any dish or taste. Would definitely come back here for dinner the next time we are in Key West.

    Food was exceptional, as usual. Escargot is always a treat, and the hogfish special was perfect. Kelsey was attentive and friendly. Key lime pie to close out the meal was excellent.

    Enjoyed our dinner at Cafe Sole imensely. My husband and I both got the signature dish Hogfish Sole and it was delicious and satisfying. The sides that came with it complimented the fish well. I had the Chocolate Pecan Pie and it was OK but not something that wowed me.

    My husband and I were waiting for a flight in the Atlanta airport and chatted with a couple who are frequent visitors to Key West. Cafe Sole was among their recommendations for dinner. Tucked into a residential neighborhood, this charming eatery was a delight from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. For starters we enjoyed a glass of wine-they have an extensive list by the glass or bottle- and the beet salad. Roasted beets, goat cheese, arugula and a light vinaigrette made for a refreshing yet tasty salad. For our entrees, I ordered the signature dish, the pan seared hogfish. My husband ordered the special grilled hogfish. Oh my goodness, all I can say is both were outstanding. My fish was melt in your mouth good, nestled in a red pepper hollandaise sauce. They have a saying on their menu…God made the fish, we just cook it right! Couldn’t agree more! Service was also exceptional. Next trip to Key West, we’ll be back.
