The Seaside Café & Bar at The Southernmost House Oceanfront Dining

Lunch and Dinner at the Edge of the World

The Seaside Café at The Southernmost House is a family-owned and operated island eatery just a few steps from the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. ‍It’s the newest addition to the Key West landscape and already well-known for island-inspired favorites such as Mansion Mojitos, fresh seafood, gourmet sandwiches, and artisan wood-fired pizzas.‍

Located on the grounds of The Southernmost House, a charming historic hotel on the “quiet end” of Duval Street, The Seaside Café invites guests to enjoy memorable flavors, coastal views, and the true spirit of Key West.

Open Daily 10:30 AM – 8 PM

The Story Behind Seaside Café

Before there was Seaside Café, there were family meals, Sunday Italian feasts, and a father and son who shared a love of good food.

For Rafe, Seaside Café’s founder and head chef, cooking with his dad, Michael, sparked a passion that led to culinary school and a career spent perfecting pizza. When his dad suggested opening a restaurant together, that lifelong connection brought Rafe back to Key West.

They knew pizza would be at the heart of the menu. What they didn’t know was that lobster pizza would become their signature.

Through experimentation and encouragement from some of their earliest guests, an unexpected idea became a Seaside favorite.

Today, Seaside Café Key West brings that family story to the oceanfront grounds of the historic Southernmost House. Come for our signature Lobster Pizza, settle in with a tropical cocktail, and enjoy good food with an ocean view.

Gluten-free lobster pizza topped with lobster chunks, melted cheese, and herbs on a serving board at Seaside Café Key West.
