BLUE HEAVEN Restaurant Bar Live Music We Are Open for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Call us! 305-296-8666 Online Shop Corner of Petronia & Thomas 729 Thomas St, Key West, FL BREAKFAST & LUNCH MENU DINNER MENU SUNDAY BREAKFAST MENU PHOTO GALLERY ABOUT US Opened by a pair of free spirits, Suanne and Richard, Blue Heaven has become its own well-known destination in Key West. The chickens and cats roaming the premises are almost as famous as the food. Blue Heaven is al fresco dining, Key West style: canopies of tropical foliage, improvised art (a leopard-spotted mannequin, a rooster graveyard, jolly-colored coconuts and trap floats) and a sail strung between trees providing shade. But don’t let the whimsical décor mislead you: the food is taken seriously. One taste of the blueberry pancakes, carrot and curry soup, miso-marinated eggplant salad, or scallops provençale and you’ll have no doubt ingredients and the gentle time it takes to prepare fine food are the priorities. the menu barely changes (not even the specials, except to offer seasonal stone crab claws), which means that caribbean shrimp deglazed with red stripe, jamaican jerk chicken or pan-sautéed yellowtail with citrus beurre blanc will be there for you next time, too — even if the reserve selections on the notable wine list may change. heavenly indeed, and home of quite possibly the best key lime pie the island offers, with its mountains of baked meringue topping.

On September 19, 1992 Suanne the artist and Richard the writer cooked and served black beans, rice, and fish to their first lunch customers on the painted picnic tables under the tropical almond tree in our fine outdoor dining area. One hundred years earlier, the owners of the Dade County Pine structure sold spirits to Key West and Florida Keys residents. Through the years the property has hosted cock fighting, gambling and Friday night boxing matches refereed by Ernest Hemingway.

In his younger, formative years, he worked as a Chef at all the major resorts in the area. Then David found himself at Blue Heaven, where he dedicated 4 years as a Sous Chef. In 2012, he took a hiatus to the Catskill/Finger Lakes area of New York to work “farm to table” first at the North Branch Inn, then briefly at Cornell University and finally at a local farm driven gastro pub. Now, as the Head Chef of Blue Heaven, David continues to pursue his love for locally driven food, adding his personal touch to Blue Heaven’s already delicious menu. His style of cooking can be described as “clean and highly developed flavors with an emphasis on fermentation, spice and authenticity.” Chef David says, “I enjoy working with seasonal ingredients and telling a story of where we are in this moment. Good food brings people together and teaches us to understand different cultures.” Read more WHERE WE ARE Only 2 blocks from Duval on the corner of Petronia & Thomas Streets View larger map Visit our sister restaurant Salute!
