If you enjoy eating your way through Key West, this is one of those things you want to know about early, not after you have already paid full price a few times.
Let me reintroduce one of my favorite local go to moves, the Key West Restaurant Card. I have been using this for years and every time I do, I wonder why more people are not talking about it.
It is simple. You save money, you explore more of the island, and you support the community all at the same time.
What Is the Key West Restaurant Card
Think of this as your insider pass to dining smarter in Key West.
For $120, the card gives you access to buy one entrée and receive a second entrée of equal or lesser value at no cost at participating restaurants. It is real savings at real places you already want to go.
And now, it is more than just restaurants.
A Few Things to Know Before You Go
- Only 2 cards per table
- Not valid on holidays
- Cannot be combined with other discounts or specials
- No takeout
- Two of the same entrée cannot be ordered
- Some restaurants may include up to 20 percent gratuity based on original pricing
- If not included, always tip as if you ordered two entrées
- Valid until the end of September of each year
Simple rules, easy to follow, and well worth it.

You are going to dine out anyway. You might as well enjoy it more, spend a little less, and experience more of what this island has to offer.
It is one of those insider moves that locals love and visitors wish they knew about sooner.
You Should Be Here,
