Blue Heaven: A Key West Culinary Gem

Nestled in the heart of historic Bahama Village at the corner of Petronia and Thomas Streets, Blue Heaven is more than just a restaurant—it’s a destination. Founded in 1992 by free spirits Suanne and Richard, this iconic eatery combines whimsical charm with serious culinary expertise. Dine al fresco under tropical canopies in a courtyard filled with quirky art, roaming chickens, and the lively spirit of Key West’s history.

Blue Heaven’s menu celebrates fresh, locally driven cuisine with Caribbean, seafood, and vegetarian influences. Start your day with their legendary breakfast, featuring Richard’s Very Good Pancakes, decadent Benedicts, and the savory Shrimp and Grits. For lunch, savor hearty dishes like the Mahi-Mahi Salad or the vegetarian-friendly Loaded Bowl. When dinner begins, indulge in expertly crafted entrées like Yellowtail Snapper with citrus beurre blanc, Jamaican Jerk Chicken, or the succulent Filet Mignon. End your meal with a slice of their famous Key Lime Pie, crowned with a cloud of meringue.

Head Chef David, inspired by his time in farm-to-table kitchens, brings authenticity and vibrant flavors to every dish. His commitment to seasonal ingredients and clean, developed flavors shines through in every bite.

The ambiance of Blue Heaven tells its own story. Once a site for cockfights, gambling, and boxing refereed by Ernest Hemingway, the property exudes a rich, eclectic history. Inside, the upstairs Bordello Gallery offers a peek into its colorful past, while the courtyard's slate paving stones and rope swing add playful charm.

Whether you’re here for breakfast with the roosters, lunch in the shade, or a romantic dinner under the stars, Blue Heaven offers an unforgettable dining experience that captures the essence of Key West. Don’t miss the live entertainment and Wine Spectator award-winning wine list for the perfect finishing touch.
