Louie's Backyard

Restaurant · Key West

"A Key West institution for decades (even Florida Keys royalty Jimmy Buffet used to eat here), Louie’s Backyard is a must-visit for its seafood, ambiance, and gorgeous oceanfront setting. Inside a pretty pink conch-style house, the dinner menu here includes Bahamian conch chowder, cracked conch with hot pepper jelly, a fresh catch of the day, and grilled swordfish with fried risotto. Cocktails are riffs on the classics, and there are just as many coffee cocktails to choose from as signatures. Dine on the deck if possible to best take in water views and a gentle sea breeze." - Allison Ramirez
