Palace Kitchen is a Pacific Northwest restaurant in Seattle, Washington, in the United States.
Palace Kitchen is a Pacific Northwest[1] restaurant serving "rustic"[2] cuisine in Seattle's Belltown/Denny Triangle neighborhoods.[3][4] The business has advertised itself as a "tavern with good food".[5] The interior features a U-shaped bar and dim lighting.[6] The menu has included burgers,[7] chicken wings,[8] and goat cheese lavender fondue.[9][10]
Owned by Tom Douglas,[11][12] Palace Kitchen opened in 1996. It is his third restaurant.[13] Harry Cheadle of Eater Seattle wrote, "In its heyday, the old-school establishment ... was a centerpiece of Belltown and a late-night industry hangout spot where cooks and bartenders would come after their shifts."[3]
In 2016, Douglas replaced tipping with a 20 percent service charge at Palace Kitchen and two other restaurants.[14][15][16] The restaurant closed in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic,[17] and reopened three years later in April 2023.[3][18]
