Lunch: Picadillo
A savory-sweet stew that perfectly captures Key West’s diverse culinary heritage is a must-try dish. The hearty combination of ground beef, olives, and raisins simmered with aromatic spices creates a rich and flavorful experience. The sweetness of the raisins complements the tanginess of the olives and spices, resulting in a well-balanced and comforting meal. Served over rice, Picadillo embodies the warmth and tradition of the island, offering a taste of Key West’s unique cultural blend in every bite.

Early dinner: Grits-N-Grunts
A Key West staple, Grits-N-Grunts perfectly marries Southern comfort food with the fresh flavors of the island. The dish features tender, flaky grunt fish, lightly seasoned and pan-seared to perfection. It is then served atop a bed of creamy, buttery grits and finished with a drizzle of savory sauce. The combination of rich, smooth flavors and the fresh, light taste of the sea makes this dish a true celebration of Key West’s coastal charm and down-home cooking.

Dinner: Sunday Porkchops
A hearty, island-inspired dish that brings comfort and flavor to the table. Thick, juicy pork chops are marinated in a savory blend of spices, seared to golden perfection, and slow-cooked to tender, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Paired with a side of rich and creamy gratin, this dish captures the relaxed, homey spirit of Key West, making it a perfect way to savor the island’s bold, comforting tastes.
