Taste the Keys
October 1–31, 2026 | Key Largo & the Upper Florida Keys
Calling all food lovers — it’s time to Taste the Keys! This month-long culinary celebration invites locals and visitors to eat their way through Key Largo and the Upper Keys while discovering the chefs, flavors, and restaurants that make the island dining scene so memorable.
Inspired by Miami Spice, Taste the Keys features specially crafted prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus at participating restaurants throughout October. It’s the perfect opportunity to revisit a favorite dining spot, discover a hidden gem, or sample signature dishes at a great value.
The culinary competition heats up with the Signature Dish Showdown, where diners can taste standout creations and cast their votes for the Best Dish in the Keys.
For an evening with a little more adventure, climb aboard a Trolley Foodie Tour and enjoy a progressive dining experience featuring small plates and paired drinks at multiple restaurants. It’s a fun way to sample several Upper Keys favorites in one delicious night.
Whether you’re planning a foodie getaway or simply looking for an excuse to try somewhere new, Taste the Keys serves up an entire month of reasons to indulge.
Come hungry, eat local, and taste your way through paradise all October long!
