Pepe's Cafe & Steak House

"When Pepe's opened in 1909, margaritas hadn't yet been invented!"
Michael Stern






"The morning of the Fourth of July, Pepe's breakfast special was French toast drizzled with red berry and blueberry cream and sprinkled with coconut shreds: red, white and blue!"
Michael Stern



"Character abounds on the old wood walls of this ancient cafe. This view is into the patio, where many customers prefer dining under shade trees strung with ornamental lights."
Michael Stern



"Each table is set with a panoply of condiments: handy for many foods, but required by those who like to doll up raw oysters."
Michael Stern



"Key West has its share of restaurants that strive to impress customers with sophistication and savoir faire. Pepe's is not one of them."
Michael Stern



"At the end of your meal the bill will be presented in a mouse trap ... already sprung."
Michael Stern
