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.

    Celebrated our 50th anni at Cafe Marquesa. One of the best dining experiences ever. Blackened Golden Tilefish and Crab cakes over the top.

    this is our go to place on our last night in Key West and it did not disappoint. The place was full and humming. Service was great and the food was special - My wife had the duck and I had the grouper. The desert was beignets which were perfect and key lime pie (not a marange mess but real pie).

    While it has been 5 years since my last visit to Cafe Marquesa, it was as always stellar. Our server Lucas was knowledgeable, attentive and humorous. All the food was delicious and ample. I will definitely come back and recommend it to friends

    We enjoyed Christmas dinner at Cafe Marquesa. The grouper and yellow tail were both excellent. Will definitely return during our next visit.
