Mo's Restaurant

Key West


The words ‘Caribbean,’ ‘home’ and ‘cooking,’ when used in conjunction, are generally always enough to impress. But it’s not just the genre of cuisine that wins us over at Mo’s – it’s the execution.

The dishes are mainly Haitian, and they’re delicious – the spicy pickles will inflame your mouth, which can get cooled down with a rich vegetable ‘mush’ over rice, or try the incredible signature snapper.
