Description: A visit to our house is a unique way to relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures as well as our treasures from the sea. The word Bagatelle comes from the French and means "a trifle or a little nothing", often referring to a light, fun, yet not too serious spring time romance. The French brought their history of fine cuisine and their love of wine to the Caribbean Islands. It is in this tradition that we have combined our French heritage, southern hospitality and the indigenous tastes of the Florida Keys into the meals we prepare today. Our chefs blend the best of our locally caught fresh seafood, fresh produce and delicious tropical fruits for our tropical seafood dishes.

Both meals were good. I would give the edge to the fish tacos that we had for lunch. Dinner was good...we both had hogfish. Nice white fish. Service was good but not excellent. We had to ask more than once to get our wine open to breath. Also appitizer came too soon...we had barely tasted our cocktails. But boy was... More

Superb service, well prepared, if somewhat bland entrees. Get a table on the porch or balcony for entertaining view of all the action on Duval St. More

The serving size on the menu was either a single lobster tail, or a... More

We stumbled upon Bagatelle on our last day looking for a lunch spot on Duval. It is close to the Mallory Square/touristy end of Duval St. Bagatelle is an older Key West style house turned restaurant with a porch where you can eat up above the people milling up and down the street. We enjoyed mango and peach mimosas as... More

On our visit we were extremely impressed after being place on a table on the 1st floor overlooking the nightlife of Duval Street. I can highly recommend... More
