5 places to eat in Key West on a budget
In this list, you will find some of my favorite spots to eat on a budget in Key West. Some of them are not ultra-cheap, but that is because nothing is very cheap on the island to be honest. Let’s get to it!
1- Croissants de France Bakery and Restaurant
Croissants de France was for me, the place to go when I was craving something sweet and didn’t feel like spending a lot. Their croissants were around 3 dollars and huge!
2- Willie T’s
I have a huge soft spot for this one since I used to work there as a hostess! My ultimate favorite thing to order was the turkey club sandwich and the lobster roll. Trust me: SO good. Don’t think twice if you are looking for where to eat in Key West on a budget.
3- La Grignote
La Grignote café it’s the perfect place to head for breakfast right after watching the sunrise at the beach. Do yourself a favor and order their eggs benedict with avocado. Simply amazing.
4- Frenchie’s cafe
Frenchie’s is a legit french café with fair prices and awesome food. Eating there was very fun because you would hear everybody speaking in France and would feel like in an actual Parisian café.
5- Santiago’s bodega
Now more on the fancy side, Santiago’s bodega is a tapas restaurant with a very romantic atmosphere. For those who don’t know, “tapas” are very small appetizers in Spanish cuisine. My absolute favorite was the beef tenderloin with blue cheese. Santiago’s is a good option for having a fancy dinner in Key West without breaking the bank.
That’s a wrap!
