Summary: Opting for a tropical Christmas vacation doesn’t mean having to forgo great food and impeccable service. Key West Florida is regarded internationally as a great food destination.
December 8 2014 Key West FL-Many people have an image in their mind when they think of dining at the beach or while on an island holiday. It involves a plastic wicker basket many napkins and some kind of seafood breaded and fried to within an inch of its life. This is not the experience people are looking for when planning a tropical island vacation. More importantly it doesn’t have to be what they end up with. A consultation with any island travel guide will point out that besides the great fishing beautiful beaches and legendary night life Key West Florida is also a great spot to find some of the finest culinary talent in the world.
“First time visitors are usually surprised when they find the caliber of cooking talent and menu options that they find here” said Norman Vogel owner of the venerable Key West restaurant the Roof Top Café. “It’s like anything else though. People from all over the world want to visit and live in paradise so why should chefs be any different?”
Being one of the most popular choices on the island for over 30 years about a dozen years ago they stepped their game when they created new island Cuisine. A blending of traditional cooking styles with fresh local seafood and regional fruits and spices this game changer is single-handedly responsible for putting this little island at the end of the Florida Keys on the map when it comes to “bucket list” food destinations.
Of course even though people are willing to give up snow covered mountains and single degree temperatures for their Key West Christmas vacation doesn’t mean they will be as quick to forget about having a traditional Christmas dinner. Some people may be excited about a grilled Mahi-Mahi or sautéed Scallops but others may still be hankering for ham or duck. That won’t be an issue. Says Vogel: “We’re all from somewhere else down here. We know how important that meal can be and we always run holiday themed specials as well as our traditional menu.” This is just another reason why Key West Florida is the perfect tropical Christmas vacation with something for everyone.
