Serves meat, vegan options available. Typical seafood-focused beach cafe but with veggie sides cooked in oil (not butter) and a few salads that can be made vegan by leaving off cheese. Staff will accommodate. Right on the beach.

Yummy avocado toast

You can’t beat the ambiance… right on the beach! Limited vegan options, but I got the avocado toast (without the egg) and a fruit salad. It was lovely - with sun dried tomatoes on top that gave it a kind of pizza flavor/quality. It’s a good place to bring people who are both vegan and non-vegan.

Accommodating of Vegan lifestyle

No vegan options but the staff was wonderful and more than willing to work with me. The chef came to my table and offered up some vegan suggestions and he then made me the best stir fry I have ever had. Amazing and healthy sized portions.. Great quality.

Should be shut down by board of health

It was an sheltered restaurant with open windows and no doors. We had to wait and the restaurant was very busy. We thought that's a good sign!
Firstly, the were chickens walking throughout the restaurant under the tables waiting for scraps to fall. There were pigeons and other birds nesting just above the tables dropping feathers and poop on the tables and patrons. The table behind us got sprayed with poop.
We ordered salads. Southwestern Caesar & Black & Blue. They were fine, with fresh lettuce however couldn't be fully enjoyed with the threat of being sprayed.

Pros: Salads could be made vegan. Beyond Meat Burger.

Cons: Unhygienic

No vegan options

Came here because reviews said they would accommodate vegans. Possibly just our waitress, but upon asking she said nothing was made vegan because it all has eggs or cheese. She said the only options are the salads. I asked about the mushroom stack starter minus the feta and pesto and she said that would work. It was delicious. I also had the southernmost salad per her recommendation but it came out with egg battered Avocado. The food was beautiful and it's a nice place but the experience was subpar.

Pros: Beautiful view

Cons: Only options from the menu require substitutions, Few vegan options, Drinks were weak

Great views, decent options

They've added the Beyond Burger to their menu, it's pricey ($17) but you can't beat those views!

Pros: Beyond Burger , Beach

Cons: Everything else is meat /seafood

Not great for breakfast

There are ZERO vegan options for breakfast, but we arrived close enough to lunch that the staff happily complied and made a Beyond Burger. It is deliciously made with a grilled portobello mushroom. There are other restaurants on the island with more veg options, but this is one of the few on the beach.

Pros: Beyond Burger yum, On the Beach

Cons: Limited options

Generous

Happily stumbled on this touristy gem. Was so hungry and they had a Beyond Burger on their menu. I was a little bummed by the $17 price, but it’s at one of the most famous tourist spots in the Keys, so... ? Was shocked to get TWO patties on very tasty bread (comes with a portobello mushroom, roasted red peppers) and a side.

Pros: Generous portions, Right on the beach

Your choice is a salad

I'm allergic to casein. The safe options for a dairy free (and vegan) meal included vegetable side dish and salads without dressing or cheese. Spoke with the staff and left without ordering. There are better places in Key West.

Pros: Right on the water

Cons: Would nearly say no options

Very Accommodating

Not a lot of vegan options on the menu, but we informed our server we were vegan and she brought the chef out and he explained what he could make vegan and we ended up with vegan fried rice which was amazing!

Pros: Accommodating

Cons: Expensive

Veggie sandwich here!

AMAZING view to eat by the water! Casual place, a small beach and a Starbucks too. Not great for vegans, only real option a salad or the yummy veggie sandwich minus bread and fries - the fries are fried in same oil as seafood. I opted for the mushroom veggie sandwich and it was very good!!

Pros: Casual vibe, On the water!, Family friendly

Cons: Few vegan options

Kinda sparse but still rather good

So the family and I went here for lunch the other day. My wife and I are vegans and the only vegan options that we saw on the menu were a fruit platter appetizer (if you ordered it without the yogurt dip) and a veggie sandwich and maybe a couple salads if you ordered no cheese. That is all that we could find for us to eat, but I was very pleased with the veggie sandwich that I got, even though I do not like mushrooms which was clearly stated but I thought I'd give a shot. My wife seemed to enjoy her fruit platter very much as well. Overall the place had very good food for what was available.

Pros: Food was goid, Friendly staff, Right on the beach

Cons: Sparse vegan options

off menu vegan stir fry

The menu looked pretty meaty but there was a tofu stir fry option off menu that was really good! Chef gave us a platter of vegan sides as well and it ended up being great! Dustin was a super friendly server.

Good view

Honestly I am not sure why this restaurant is on here. The only vegan options were to ask for salads without dairy, a couple plain veg side dishes, and a butternut squash ravioli dish. I asked for the squash to be made vegan, and they complied no problem, and for being the only real veg entree, it was DELICIOUS, highly recommend, except the fairly small dish was $25. This restaurant is ON THE BEACH great views, friendly staff. However, v limited options, the ravioli might even be seasonal :/

Pros: YUMMY, GREAT VIEW

Cons: Limited options, EXPENSIVE

Surprise Find Right on the Beach

This was a nice surprise on Key West, where "seafood" reigns and vegan options are few. Although this restaurant does not specifically focus on vegans, they have several nice salads easily made vegan by omitting the cheese. I had the kale salad and my wife had one with grilled peaches, both very good. I also had the candied Brussels sprouts, which were delicious (and a huge portion). There was also a watermelon and beet salad and vegan sides of baby carrots or asparagus. Good option for dining with omnivores.

Pros: Veggie sides are vegan, Creative salads, Beach view

Cons: Seafood-focused, Limited options, Limited parking
