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.

    Outstanding food and service. Best we’ve found in Key West. Our server Wilson was personable and super efficient without being cloying. The GM James and the chef both checked in to ensure the meal met our expectations. It more than did.

    This is an exceptional dining experience. The service is beyond extraordinary. Our server Kaya was appropriately attentive, made great suggestions, and delivered at the highest level. If culinary excellence coupled with superb service is what you are seeking eat at Cafe Marquesa.

    The food was very good, my complaint is with whoever didn’t update menu and corking fee on Open Table. However, the maitred’ and the waitress who we told we had brought our own bottle could have given us a heads up. The entree I had wanted was no longer being served and the corking fee was no longer $25 per bottle but a whopping $40!!! Per bottle which we found out afterwards👎

    A terrific restaurant with top notch cooking. It was full on the night we ate there, but the service was excellent. A+ recommendation for dishes that are impeccably prepared and full of delicious flavor.
