Louie’s Backyard, Key West

“Oh, if only for a backyard as beautiful as the spectacular oceanfront setting offered by this Caribbean-American restaurant, Key West’s Most Popular destination, where you can dine on incredible cuisine served by a professional staff on either the fabulous multilevel deck or in the elegant dining room; it’s many folks’ idea of heaven…” – Zagat 

Each dish at Louie’s is prepared to order, with care and respect to each ingredient. Our seafood influence is on “hooked” local fish: grouper, hogfish, snapper, and swordfish. Our Key West “pinks” come from the local shrimp fleets. And at Louie’s, your Florida Keys lobster was caught yesterday. Louie’s also features fine steaks, heirloom pork, double lamb chops and free-range chicken.

Our commitment to quality is met in part by local growers of fruits and vegetables. Island Farms grows produce specifically for Louie’s: beautiful lettuce, fragrant herbs, oriental greens, tomatoes, and edible flowers. And the inimitable Mr. Wong provides us with extraordinary fresh fruits: lychee, starfruit, mango, papaya, guava, to name just a few. All are hand-selected and delivered within hours of picking.
