A visit to our house is a unique way to relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures as well as our treasures from the sea. The word Bagatelle comes from the French and means "a trifle or a little nothing", often referring to a light, fun, yet not too serious spring time romance. The French brought their history of fine cuisine and their love of wine to the Caribbean Islands. It is in this tradition that we have combined our French heritage, southern hospitality and the indigenous tastes of the Florida Keys into the meals we prepare today. Our chefs blend the best of our locally caught fresh seafood, fresh produce and delicious tropical fruits for our tropical seafood dishes.

Key West seafood restaurant in the heart of old town on Petronia. The menu is kept small so that everything is nice and fresh for you. Yellowtail snapper, fish of the day, Key West pink shrimp, and seafood medley highlight the menu. Deviled Eggs topped with Scallops, Shrimp Mango Toast and Crispy Pork Belly Croustinis tantalize the pallet. Beef stroganoff made with certified black angus beef is a favorite. Relaxing, unpretentious, and romantic. Seating is very limited. 24 Hour Cancellation window. For the consideration of our guests, we do not accept parties over the size of six (6). We offer a 6 pm and an 8 pm seating. BEER AND WINE AVAILABLE. No Children's menu available.

"Bel Mare means 'beautiful ocean' in Italian. We specialize in coastal Italian food served with an emphasis on traditional fine dining. Not only does our food come from that beautiful ocean, but our dining room overlooks it. The gorgeous yachts docked in the foreground of the A&B Marina make for stunning views and sunsets over that beautiful ocean!"

Cozy, Romantic, and Intimate are the adjectives that come to mind. Outstanding cuisine flawlessly prepared and served. While there are many in Key West, Cafe Sole is a "must do" on the "to do list" when in the Conch Republic.

We went to Cafe Marquesa to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the whole experience was outstanding. Wilson, our server, was attentive and engaging and made us feel like we were old friends. The food and drinks were so delicious, from the She Crab soup to the shrimp potato gnocchi to the trio of desserts. We live in Minnesota, so unsure if we'll be back, but if we find ourselves back in Key West, this will be a must visit for us!

Food as expected, good as usual. For a steakhouse it’s disappointing the options as well as the side options. Music would have been nice too.

Our server Christopher (a server for 4 years) was amazing. He was kind, professional, prompt and patient. He had great recommendations as far as taste and the size dish most appropriate for each person. We were extremely pleased with our entire experience. Thank you!
