If you’re planning a trip to the Florida Keys, you’re a lucky traveler indeed. Sandy feet, blue horizons, and delicious food are in your future. However, if you find yourself wandering Islamorada, Marathon, and Key West without a roster of reservations, never fear. In terms of recommendations, we’ve got you covered from breakfast to dinner in these three Keys destinations. Check out a few of our favorite island spots for dishes and drinks, and start—or finish!—planning your trip to the Florida Keys. If you only have room for a few of our picks, don’t miss Bad Boy Burrito in Islamorada, Keys Fisheries in Marathon, and Nine One Five in Key West. Once you’re ready to pack your bags, read through our additional travel tips in Plan a Girlfriend Getaway to the Florida Keys and The Secret Corner of Key West Everyone Should Know About for more ideas to add to your your itinerary.
