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

    It is always an extraordinary experience to dine at Cafe Sole. We always include it at least twice during our annual visit to Key West. It is like eating in Paris, and the intimate atmosphere enhance the transportive experience.

    Fantastic service and ambiance, food is nothing spectacular. If you’re wanting delicious this isn’t your spot, food’s just okay. The mandarin oranges (within duck sauce taste packaged/processed), beets were out of a can and a basic wine list.

    Christmas eve dinner sitting on the sidewalk was a big surprise, lets leave it at that. I recommend asking more questions when offered outdoor seating.

    We were called the day before our reservation by Martin, he asked us to change our reservation back an hour. So we did…. But when we arrived we were seated on the sidewalk with a rickety table in the wind. I think it was ok that they told us it was impossible to have a table inside. Until two gentlemen amended ~ 30 mins after us and were moved from these crazy sidewalk table inside. Soooo I guess you must be a local. But I know we ordered an expensive bottle of our favorite Champagne….so treated not as well….

    Interesting cute restaurant. Food & service was ordinary. I am used to duck that is medium rare but this one was well done and a little on the dry side. The goose special was similar to a Thanks giving turkey dinner. The key lime pie wasn't too sweet and one of the better ones in Key west.
