ABOUT THE CUISINE:

The cuisine of Cuba quickly became part of Key West’s food heritage when Cuban families began to settle on the island in the 1860’s.  The food served in Key West homes and restaurants was excellent, but lacked the spice and zesty flavorings the Cubans brought with them.  The seasoned, (but not spicy like Mexican), Cuban food was a welcome change.  The special aromas, so much a part of old Key West and other Cuban communities are still here.  The smell of the fragrant tobacco of fresh Cuban cigars pervades the air, mingling with that of pungent garlic, onions, Spanish olive oils and other mouth watering scents from the kitchen of El Siboney, a local family owned and operated restaurant proudly serving Key West’s locals and visitors since 1984.
