From the outside, Pepe's looks like it has not been touched since it first opened in 1909. Once you step inside, you will be transported back in time to the romantic Key West of Papa Hemingway. Signed photos of former patrons and other memorabilia cover the eye-catching walls. If you prefer eating outside, request a seating option on the large patio in the back, which benefits from the shade of several large trees.

Whatever you decide to eat will be wonderful and made from scratch. Dishes are made with fish caught that morning, the biscuits and Key Lime Pie are prepared daily, and they freshly squeeze the orange juice just for you. Their breakfast is fabulous; the menu changes daily and its selections depend on what is fresh and available. Pepe’s is located on Caroline Street on the old commercial waterfront.
