Louie’s Backyard

David Dlugitch — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:53:24 +0000

The finest food, view, and scene – all perfect.

Right on the water and tucked away in an Old Town neighborhood, is the extraordinary Louie’s Backyard.

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in an historic wooden two-story building, sits one of Key West’s finest and most praised restaurants: Louie’s Backyard.

Really, no discussion of fine dining in Key West is complete without mention of this local favorite.

Louie’s, as locals often call it, is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean – facing south to a gorgeous view of the water.

The cuisine is gourmet Caribbean American, combining fresh seafood (and cuts of meat) with vibrant, savory, and/or sublime ingredients – and this restaurant is not afraid to experiment. Rest assured the award winning executive chef, Doug Shook, has put together some of the most inventive, delicious, and memorable dishes on the island. A recommended signature dish: Shrimp and Grits – a modern spin on the depression era Grits and Grunts, this time sauteed with slab bacon and a buttery cheese sauce. YUM.

Upstairs is Louie’s latest experiment – a tapas bar named Louie’s Upper Deck. Serving small appetizers, it is an exceptional place to watch the sunset, have a cocktail, and enjoy a perfectly made drink.

And for those just looking for the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail by the water, head over to their waterside bar, The “Afterdeck”, which serves strong drinks to a cast of regulars and visitors.

Hours: Open every day, 11:30am – 1am

Location: 700 Waddell Street (next to Dog Beach)

Phone: (305) 294-1061 (Reservations are highly recommended)
