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

    Hogfish is a delight at Cafe Sole. Its delicate, buttery and oh so good. Too often food is repetitive from place to place but at this hidden gem you will not find replication. This place is magical in prparation

    My husband and I both ordered the hogfish. Other reviews suggested this dish, and it did not disappoint. Nor did the keylime pie. We were in Key West for a short week, and so glad that we had dinner at Cafe Sole. I would highly recommend.

    We have been to cafe Sole numerous time over the years, with our last visit three years ago. Cafe Sole is a must for us when in Key West. This year we rented a home in Marathon and were only in Key West for one full day. We took family to Cafe Sole singing it’s praises from all of our past experiences. Even with all of the ceiling fans running, the restaurant seems very warm. In addition, we were getting bit up pretty good by “no see-ums”. The restaurant canvas roof/awning is in need of major repairs. I would certianly rethinking dining there if it was raining. We ordered a bottle of Sancerre and was really surprised at the temperature that it was served at. Even our waiter commented about how warm it was. While the Hogfish is the best around, I will say the portions have gotten much smaller than I remember. All of our appetizers and soups were very good and other entrees were also very good. Again, the food at Cafe Sole is very good and as our waiter commented numerous times; the Hogfish is the way to go. Unfortunately, for me, the ambiance I remember from past visits has started to fade. Until they can figure out a way to serve a white wine at the proper temperature, I would order red.

    Restaurant was a little warm (80 degrees). Food was alright, but would have ordered differently next time. Baked artichoke was almost inedible, the vegetarian pasta needed more flavor with salt and pepper.
