Banana Cafe

What it’s Like: Always packed for weekend brunch, the Banana Café is a small, open air restaurant. The restaurant has a bar and about 10 tables in the main room and about 15 more tables on a side porch. The doors and windows are open and the ceiling fans stir up a warm breeze to comfort customers.

Drinks: None for us. The menu offers American coffee, Cuban coffee con leche, espresso, cappuccino, tea and a selection of juices, soft drinks, beers and wines.

Food: The menu features a variety of crepes such as La Paysanne (bacon, mushrooms & bechamelle) for $6.70, La Chevre Chaud (goat cheese & walnut) for $7.50, La Mer (sea scallops in white wine & crème) and about 20 other choices. You can also order simple crepes with honey, strawberry, lemon, orange or raspberry jam for $3. Breakfast options include salmon and bagel for $7.45, croissants for $1.75, omelettes ranging from $5.50 to $6.50 which include toast, and other standard breakfast fare such as bacon and eggs. They also offer a French breakfast which seems to consist of French bread and a croissant for $4. The offer a good selection of salad and sandwiches as well. We opted for the turkey & ham sandwich which is served on fresh French bread with lettuce, tomato and homemade mayonnaise. It was a great, fresh deli sandwich.

Key West is the meeting of many cultures and many cuisines with a Key West twist. Banana Cafe serves up French food with a tropical flare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

At breakfast and dinner, their specialty is crepes. They serve over 40 different kinds. Entree-type crepes include everything from the simple crepes made with cheese or meats and cheese, to the "La Mer;" a crepe with Sea Scallops in White Wine & Cream. The large portion of their crepes are their dessert crepes, from the delicious black and white chocolate crepes, to the fruity pineapple, cinnamon, apple, strawberry, and honey and lime crepes; you have many to choose from! I had the black and white chocolate crepe and also tried the chocolate and almond crepe... both were out of this world!!

Not wanting a crepe? They also serve up a menu full of other French and American cuisine. For lunch, they offer an extensive menu consisiting of several different types of salads and sandwiches. I think their dinner menu offers quite a bit more.

Of course, being in Key West, there is an outdoor balcony to dine on at the front of the building. If it's full, try the side deck.
