Pepper Pot Island Cafe

If you’re getting a little tired of the usual seafood, Italian, and Cuban options that dominate Key West, go to Pepper Pot. The small Trinidadian restaurant on a quiet residential street is serving some of the best food in town. They make buttery, warm roti with curry chicken, curry goat, curry shrimp, vegetables, and more. They also serve a really delicious geera pork sandwich that comes on a soft roll with tender cubes of meat and diced Florida avocado. It’s perfect for a little beach picnic or inhaling alone inside the quiet dining room, which is a great place to hide from the loud bars a few blocks away on Duval.
