An all time favorite!. One of my Top 3 meals of all time!
Start it off with "Angels on Horseback" and then get into the best Hog Snapper anywhere and finish it off with the desert trio!
I have had this everytime I have been there, have ordered it for everyone I have brought with me and have recommended it to everyone I met visiting Key West - EVERYONE loved it!
It's off the worn out, beaten path of Duval St. and SOOO worth it!
Fabulous beet salad Napoleon and portobello mushroom soup. Next course was the hog snapper and grouper romesco - phenomenal!
Worth a nice walk there. Found this in the Lonely planet which isnt always a good thing especially when the book is from 2008
really nice imple interior with busy dining room and white panels and fans
great menu or fresh and light dishes etc the accompaniments with my hog fish could have been a little hotter but they were delicious. nice mango salsa.
a great break from fried food and the Duval street crowds
service was very good attentive but not overdone
not cheap but worth a splurge, a nice walk through the colonial houses to find it
Great dining experience. We loved everything about Cafe' Sole', from the atmosphere and service to the dishes we ordered. Figuring fish was the way to go, we had the Wahoo with lemon caper sauce and pink shrimp (very good), the blackened grouper with mango salsa (tasty, with some heat) & the hogfish snapper with red pepper coulis (awesome. Would order it every day). Nice little place in a quiet residential area with lots to offer.
Amazing! Had the Hog Snapper, their specialty and it was to die for. My husband and I talked about getting one of these and another entree but both decided to get it. We were glad we had both gotten it because neither of us would've wanted to share it. We also had the Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Pecan Pie andloved both. Two thumbs up!
One of the best in Key West. Absolutely superb. We started with the portobello soup and the gazpacho. Both excellent. Then we both had the Hogfish. Chef John really knows how to cook Hogfish. Coming from South Florida I have had Hogfish many times before but never this good. Just wonderful. Can't wait to go back to Key West just to go to Cafe Sole.
Very unique entree meats/plate veggy garnishments. Hogsnapper dish great! Key lime pie is NOT the best in KW! excellent consistency and toasted meringue...boring key lime taste/not strong. Go for Bananas Fosters!
Took my family and enjoyed our dinner. Great hogfish. Comfortable setting with busy yet friendly service. favorite spot thus far of way too many meals in key west.
Great salmon with crab with hollandaise sauce, coupled with hogfish (a mild flavored locally caught fish) in a roasted red pepper sauce. They included gratuity for 2 people, which is unusual, but this may have been because we utilized a coupon for a free bottle of house wine. Overall a great meal and experience
Consistent, good food!. With a year lapse between visits, Cafe Sole offers consistent, great food and service! A perfect place to go for a nice meal that's a little off the usual path of the Key West experience.

Exquisite food! Conch carpaccio an intelligent texture and flavour that awakens the appetite! The hog fish sole takes center stage on the plate, its delicate and flaky texture a testament to its freshness and careful preparation. It's beautifully complemented by the rich and creamy French bake sauce, which adds a velvety touch of indulgence to every bite. Served alongside are tender lima beans, their vibrant green color and natural sweetness providing a refreshing contrast to the richness of the fish and sauce. The mashed potatoes, whipped to perfection, offer a comforting and creamy side dish that pairs harmoniously with the rest of the meal. Completing the ensemble is the carrot shredded puree, a vibrant and colorful addition that not only adds a pop of orange to the plate but also brings a subtle hint of sweetness to balance the savory elements of the dish. Together, these carefully selected components create a symphony of flavors and textures, making each bite a culinary delight that's sure to satisfy even the most discerning palates. Magnificent!
Excellent food, outstanding service. We loved our evening here.
This restaurant was highly recommended by a local and it did not dissapoint!!! They have an amazing beer and wine list, but the food was exceptional. Their signature dish of Hogfish Snapper Sole was one of the best dishes I have ever had!

Hidden Gem! Staff was professional and service was outstanding! The mushroom soup was one of the best I have tasted. Not overpowered by other ingredients! You tasted the mushroom and did not make you feel stuffed. Nothing like fresh seafood for the entree. The tuna was cooked to perfection. The dessert was the perfect amount.
Spent New Years here, will be dining here again! Great date night place. Off of Duval. Reservations recommended!
What a beautiful restaurant in the old town but still far enough from the busy Duval street. Please do come to visit the staff at Café Solé, they will make sure you will be attended and leave the restaurant happy and content.
Their house recommendations are definitely something to try, we are glad we enjoyed our last evening here. The key lime pie was the best one we've had on our trip.
Thanks for having us - we hope to be back.
Thank you to our waitress, Patrizia and her colleagues that made sure our evening was delightful!! 💙

Food was great. Fish was fresh. Expect French style cuisine. A lot of butter, cream, etc. delicious, but rich flavors.
Service was nice and attentive.
Building is very dated. We happened to be the only ones there for a late weekday dinner, so it was a fun experience on our end, but it looked as though seating would be very tight if the restaurant was busy.
Outstanding dinner at Cafe Sole! I do not think that you can have a better dinner in Key West for the price point. The service was great too!
A lovely surprise - a snug, stylish and classy restaurant with a decidedly cosmopolitan menu. I was introduced to Hogfish - a first for me, but delicious. My partner had the seafood risotto, which also got a resounding thumbs up. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and there's a lovely ambience to the place. Cafe Sole was recommended to us by the concierge at our hotel, so its reputation is already established among the locals - and on this showing, entirely justified. Thoroughly recommended.
We managed to get last-minute reservations and ordered the Bacon wrapped dates, Saganaki, Lobster Bisque, as well as the Diving Scallops. They were so sweet to split our entree for us & suprised us with an extra scallop. So thoughtful and appreciated. For desert, we shared Creme Brule. Everything was incredible, including all of the staff. My best friend and I both live here and will be recommending this place to everyone.
Charming and romantic setting. Many unique dishes, as well as some traditional French dishes. Definitely try the Haddock Snapper, it's one of their signature dishes and well worth a try. Full bar not available but they have a great wine selection. Friendly staff.
