Best French Restaurant in Key West

God Made the Fish. We Just Cook It Right.
A Taste of France on Southard Street

A Taste of France on Southard Street

Since 1995, Chef John Correa has been cooking classical French cuisine with Key West's freshest catch — tucked away, off the beaten path, just the way regulars like it.
Hogfish Snapper Solé

Hogfish Snapper Solé

Our signature dish. Local hog snapper with a red pepper zabaglione, plated the way Chef Correa has been finishing fish since the beginning — with a French sauce and nothing wasted.
Duck à l'Orange

Duck à l'Orange

Classical French, made in Key West. Chef Correa trained in Europe, and it shows — in the sauces, the technique, and thirty years of cooking the same dish better every time.

A rose on every table. A menu that changes with what the fishermen bring in. Come find us.

A Little House on Southard Street

Since 1995, Chef John Correa and his wife Judy have been cooking classical French cuisine in a quiet Key West neighborhood — far from the tourist bustle, and well worth finding.

What our guests are saying

Haven't been to a well-rounded, quality restaurant like this in a while. So happy with everything — Max our waiter was lovely and knew exactly what would keep us happy. Even the bread they start you with is memorable.

We absolutely loved this restaurant. The atmosphere was wonderful — a rose on each table, and Alan our server was very knowledgeable with a great personality. The hogfish was divine. Other people at our table had the steak, which they said was wonderful.

Very pleased with my recent dining experience. Very romantic atmosphere — rose on the table, pillows on the booths, and lower lighting. The lobster bisque was the best I've ever had, and the complimentary bread was perfect for dipping.

The service here is very good and helpful. I'd highly recommend the sole and the portobello soup — both were totally top notch. The prices are a little high but it comes through in the food and service.
