Palate

Wonderful lunch spot. Great view of the valley winter and summer. In the summer the patio is open and that’s just really nice. Later in the fall bring a jacket. Take a walk through the museum either before or after eating, you won’t be disappointed. Food is excellent as is the service. Sezai took care of us today and he’s a great waiter. I had the “Smash & Dash” this time but have been here numerous times and I’ve never ordered anything that wasn’t excellent. The restaurant is located in the main atrium of the museum, just walk in the front door of the museum and you will see it.

Great food and wonderful service! The menu is fantastic. Many excellent options. Something for everyone! Beautiful outdoor seating option available.

My wife and I just arrived from Florida. I loved everything about this restaurant. Food was amazing, I had the Buffalo Gyro and my wife the French Onion Grilled Gouda Cheese. My wife has to eat Gluten Free and they can make anything on the menu gluten free. Flavors were amazing and the service was perfect. Our server Alvaro was outstanding.

A nice restaurant cafe with an upscale but also easy going vibe. Service is attentive. Food is fresh and tasty with a focus on healthy and local. You don't need a museum ticket to dine here. It's one of the hidden gems in the Teton National Park for best eating spots!

Stopped in for lunch after a morning of hiking in Teton. Chose to wait for outdoor table and glad we did, the view is amazing! My wife and I shared the Casper Power Bowl and the Palate Burger with the subbed grilled chicken breast and the subbed cup of Game Stew. The food was out quickly despite being busy and was excellent! The service was also top notch. Already trying to figure out how to make it back during the remainder of our trip.

Amazing view and amazing food, the server was very friendly too! My fiancée agreed the prices were good for quality of food and she also loved the view and atmosphere. Will definitely return when I’m in town again!

What a beautiful setting being within the museum but the outdoor views are spectacular! The service was wonderful and we had the most delicious soup (miso, butternut squash). I would come back for that soup anytime. The Arnold Palmer was perfectly mixed, one of the better drinks I had in a while served in the glass jar. The fish sandwich was fine but not super. It could have been the mix of the soup and sandwich which were different flavors but worth going back to try something new.

This is probably the coolest, most unique spot I've ever had lunch at. I'm not even sure what to compare it to because it's literally perfect. It's max 10 minutes outside of Jackson Hole, but it's totally worth the drive. The restaurant is located at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, which is a great experience itself that you can check out after lunch or while you wait for your table. You can either choose to sit inside or outside, and of course we sat outside. The patio view had me at a loss for words. It overlooks the Elk Refugee and mountains in a distance. The view itself is worth coming here. The menu is close second. I started off with their Bloody Mary which had a pretty spicy kick, but that's the way I like it. It was served really tall glass, so I enjoyed it for the whole meal. For appetizer we had the peaches & tomato plate. It was definitely creative and enjoyable, and I'm glad it wasn't filling because the main course portions definitely will fill you up. My girlfriend ordered the Casper Power Bowl which looked absolutely amazing, and we even paid extra $8 extra to have bison meat. I couldn't decide between their Palate Burger or the Trout Fish & Chips. Our great waitress recommended I try the Trout Fish & Chips since that's her favorite, and she didn't steer me wrong. For dessert, we shared a small Lemon Posset, which is a vanilla bean cream with fresh berries served in a really small cup. This place was perfect, and I will forever recommend it to people if I hear they're visiting Jackson Hole. Love love love!

We made a reservation and ate here for lunch right after we landed in Jackson,WY. So beautiful to sit outside on their patio and look out at the elk refuge. Our waitress was lovely! We got the game stew which was so rich and yummy. The cowboy caviar as a wrap - which comes with chips as a side. The chips are housemade and perfectly crunchy, I dipped a few in the stew and it was delicious! The trout po boy - which is yummy and the bread was fresh, the sauce was little spicy (which we like but you should know if you don't like spice). My husband got a local beer and I got the sockeye soritz which was very citrusy and refreshing. We are on our honeymoon so we also did the chamomile panna cotta and coffee which was one of the most delicious dessert we've ever had! Would highly recommend this place!!

First of all, the setting and atmosphere were phenomenal! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch next to the beautiful bear sculpture. The food and wine were delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. If I could give this place 10 Stars I would.

What a view! We enjoyed lunch on the patio at Palate with its views of the neighboring Elk Refuge. The food is delicious, and as a non-beef eater I was especially happy they offered a French onion grilled cheese with a mushroom au jus. Also, the soup was incredibly fresh tasting with sweet potatoes and a touch of miso. Note: It can get brisk and/or extremely sunny here so wear sunscreen and bring a jacket or sweater.

We stopped at this location with a group of eight. We were traveling from Island Park Idaho to the Tetons. We almost stopped in Jackson hole to grab a bite to eat, but ended up deciding to drive up the road and I am so happy that we did. This restaurant is located in an art museum, which added to the whole experience. Not to mention the views of the elkwere insane! We ordered so much food and everyone was pleased with their meals! I tried the soup of the day (sweet potato miso) and the grilled onion/cheese sandwich. Both were delicious. We had four kids who ordered four different meals and everybody clean their plates. Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend visiting this location.

I'd definitely recommend having lunch at Palate when you're in Jackson Hole. The weather was beautiful & we enjoyed sitting outside overlooking the National Elk Refuge. Their soup of the day was coconut tomato basil. YUM! I ordered the power bowl, substituted mixed salad greens for rice & added smoked trout. It was delicious!! My husband ordered the chicken sandwich & chips. They put mustard on it, which he said was unfortunately a bit overpowering. Kerri was our server & she was delightful,..kind & attentive.

Food was excellent! It was a little slow getting seated as we did not have reservations. It was well worth the wait and in a beautiful setting outside.

Excellent lunch, we had the Game Stew, Cowboy Caviar, Prime Rib sandwich and the Grilled Cheese with sliced Bison. The stew was excellent! Would not order the Cowboy Caviar again, not my favorite, kind of bland flavor and not much to it for $12. Both sandwiches were good, the Bison on the grilled cheese was slightly gamier than I like, but still good. Would recommend adding salt to the homemade chips. Service was great and the view is incomparable!

Such a cool experience, eating outside the museum and with the Mountain View - food felt local and organic. Reasonably priced and great service! Allergen friendly as well.

Not only can you enjoy some beautiful art, but you can have a nice lunch with a view. Palate is located inside the National Museum of Wildlife Art. They are open for lunch only with indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are strongly encouraged as there is usually a long wait time. The décor of this places matches the beauty of the museum around it. This museum faces the Elk Refuge and you get amazing views of it through the windows. Palate has a menu that consists of sandwiches, salads and appetizers. After a whole week of hiking and viewing wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, I was craving a nice healthy sit-down lunch. I started off with a cup of Game Stew. The stew was really good and is made up of Elk, Bison, Lentils and Quinoa. My entrée was the Casper Power Bowl. Not only does it have a lot of healthy ingredients, but it is a very colorful dish. I was impressed with the overall presentation of the food I ordered. They deliver your bill inside a children's book that has cute pictures of animals.

It's a museum restaurant so I didn't expect much, but I was completely surprised! The food was excellent!

Great view and food overlooking the elk preserve. Wild game specialties and nice salads.

We stopped by for lunch after flying into Jackson Hole airport. The place is a hidden gem! You must sit on the patio! The views are spectacular, complimented by the food and service. I had the trout poi boi and it was really good! I thoroughly enjoyed the servers, everyone was very conversational, which is refreshing!

Food was fantastic, view is amazing and service was excellent. Highly recommend! Great option that is not that far from the airport.

This was everything you want for a great lunch spot: quality food, excellent service and amazing views. The weather allowed us to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful ambience the restaurant has to offer. This was a great one-two combo with the restaurant and visiting the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Ask for Roney, he did a wonderful job!

Get the chicken salad and the grilled cheese. 10/10 on both. Our server Doug recommended the grilled cheese and he was spot on. Easily one of our top meals in Jackson - more laidback than Local, Gather, and others in Jackson proper. *gorgeous* view. Quality food & service. EAT HERE!!!p

Fantastic lunch with a view! Recommend going to the museum after too. Service was excellent and food was amazing

Incredible view, wonderful service and amazing food. It was wonderful!! One of the better meals we had while visiting Jackson!

Came here for the ambiance but stayed for the food! Had a phenomenal watermelon heirloom salad with the most delectable steak. It was served over arugula and topped with feta and pistachios. I should've taking a picture, but I was more excited to eat. The service was really nice as well.

Stopped by here for lunch while visiting the museum due to the high ratings. We had the trout fish and chips which was a bit bland and very crispy. Unfortunately, the bison gyro was heavy on the bread and low on meat. The game stew was delicious but tasted mostly of beef. Beautiful views sitting outside on patio which bumped our rating up.

The Family and I had lunch today at Palate which is located on the ground floor of the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Palate is pretty unique in my view being it is located within the walls of a museum, has an incredible view, and has incredible food and service. Their website describes the dining experience as "An Artful Lunch in Jackson Hole". Indeed, it is. Food and art complement each other very well in my view and should be paired as often as possible. We arrived shortly after noon and were starving from our morning at Jenny Lake. The host sat us at a beautiful table with an incredible view. Palate has a very small footprint and has a limited number of tables indoors and some tables outside. They are only open for lunch. The menu has a lot of very familiar items as well as some that aren't. The Mrs. ordered the Trout and Chips. A beautifully composed dish consisting of Idaho Red Trout fried in vodka tempura and served with malted onion, tartar sauce, lemon, and a side of house made chips. Kiddo ordered the French Onion Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Palate basically took French Onion soup and broke it down. I've never seen anything like it. Gruyère cheese, Smoked Gouda, and Pecorino placed between two slices of sourdough bread and grilled to gooey perfection and served with a mushroom au jus. I ordered the Smoked Turkey Club and I have to say it was THE BEST turkey sandwich I've ever had. Beautifully smoked turkey piled high with Gruyère cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon jam, and American Dijonaise placed between two pieces of a thinly sliced baguette. I opted to get the soup of the day instead of the chips. The soup was a mushroom Gruyère and it was incredibly rich and good. For dessert, kiddo ordered the Derby Pie which I won't describe you, but will just say it can't be missed when dining at Palate. The service at Palate was really good as well. Angelica was our server and took really great care of us.

This museum cafe well deserves its five stars. On a busy Friday, my husband and I were told there was an hour wait for a table. We ordered our food to go and had a gourmet picnic in our car. Everything was delicious: savory game and lentil stew, flavorful bahn mi sandwich, tangy beet salad with creamy goat cheese, and the exceptional Idaho red trout with house made chips and herby tartar sauce. I ate the lightly fried strips of fish with my fingers. My husband's only complaint was that the jalapeño in the sandwich was too hot--and this is a guy who loves jalapeños and puts hot sauce on almost everything. The museum is great, but we'd come back just to eat lunch here!

What a beautiful location!!! Great views and great food here, what's not to love. The staff was very helpful and patient as we had a few questions regarding the menu. Everything was delicious and we had a lovely afternoon here

What nice service and a wonderful lunch. We sat outside overlooking the elk reserve...so much open space and beauty! The staff was super friendly and accommodating! We loved it!

This is the nicest restaurant and only restaurant I dined in at while visiting Jackson. I am so glad it was Palate because the food was amazing, the views unbelievable on top of the hill overlooking the Elk Natural Reserve, and inside a beautiful Wildlife art museum. Hubby and I was on a Grand Teton tour with our guide and she took us here. She has been here a handful of times and she raves about Palate and how she has not had a bad meal here. I was very excited to try their food and she was right! Our burgers were delicious and juicy and just the right amount of food. The coconut soup was so creamy! The hot chocolate warmed up my soul. Excellent all around and great service from our server who checked in on us several times. She was a sweetheart and even got us the correct menu (the menu she first gave us has the entrees replicated twice). Highly recommend to dine here and to check out the museum after.

Great place to visit in Jackson Hole Wyoming, great art gallery, many sculptures, and great dinning, make sure you make reservations it stays busy, if you don't you can check in and go through the gallery's it will take a while it very big, but the food was great, elk soup, burgers, chicken salad and the grilled cheese was very high end, not your run in the meal food, just an outstanding place atmosphere is great and the staff is very nice, drop a a few dollars in the shop. Great place

Came to see some wild animal arts, ended up enjoying a really nice lunch at the restaurant. The bison gyro is a must try, and the trout and chips are amazing. Our waiter Rob was very friendly and helpful. This is a great stop before heading to the Jackson Hole airport.

Unexpectedly impressive menu for A museum restaurant. Definitely recommend that you try it.

The food was great. Doug the server was working so hard and did an amazing job. Would definitely recommend for the food, service, and wonderful views of the elk preserve.

We had been at the Grand Tetons all morning. Perfect spot to take a break! Beautiful view and great food!

Very enjoyable lunch surrounded by beautiful art! I recommend making a reservation as we didn't get in the first day and made a reservation for the next day. We both enjoyed sandwiches and a cup of soup and everything was delicious!

We hit this sport on the way to the airport, it is pretty close by. This restaurant is part of what looked like a pretty cool museum, but we didn't have time to stop. We did see lots of cool statues of animals inside and outside of the museum. We were in a bit of a rush, but ordered the spaghetti for one kid, no meatballs. He enjoyed it, but found it spicy as warned. The other kid liked Bison Gyro, but I don't have much to add. I had trout & chips. They were battered in a thick but light batter. Definitely a different take on it, which I enjoyed. They had homemade chips and a solid tartar sauce. Service was great.

This is probably the coolest, most unique spot I've ever had lunch at. I'm not even sure what to compare it to because it's literally perfect. It's max 10 minutes outside of Jackson Hole, but it's totally worth the drive. The restaurant is located at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, which is a great experience itself that you can check out after lunch or while you wait for your table.

Great view and even greater service by Doug. I recommend the grilled cheese from the menu.

Roney was an amazing server! Food was fabulous! Must get Game stew, meatloaf wrap and beet salad!

Fantastic eats while at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson! Very pleasant patio with a gorgeous view across the Elk Refuge. Friendly service. Delicious food - we enjoyed the trout fish and chips and the chicken salad sandwich. Highly recommend!

Doug was a phenomenal server, enthusiasti. Food was delicious and the view astounding.

The service was horrible and the food wasn't much better. The chicken salad sandwich was drenched in a pesto sauce could not taste the chicken. Worst I have ever had. The so called corn chowder had more sliced fingerling potatoes than corn. Had a good flavor though. The ambiance and view was great.

Palate was great! There is a gorgeous view of the mountains from every table and the food was delicious. Service was also wonderful and we will definitely be back!! Definitely a must stop for lunch or after a trip to the museum.

Had lunch here before exploring the wildlife art museum. The food gets a 5; the service gets a 3; the ambience gets a 5 if you can get a table outside. There was a large school group there so I suspect the service may have better if they weren't slammed. No tables inside but still a beautiful view from inside but extremely loud until the school group left. What impressed me most was the interesting menu. I got a bison Gyro--using Babaghanoush instead of tziki--tons of delicious thinly cut bison with tasty pickled onions. Stepmom got a greek appetizer platter with amazing cauliflower--?flash fried with tasty spices. If I lived here I would come back to try other things on the menu.

Great lunch. The trout Po-boy was fantastic. Beautiful view of the Elk Refuge. Nicolina was awesome as well.

Hands down the best lunch I had during my stay in Jackson. I enjoyed the game stew (exceptional) and the French onion grilled cheese with bison (unreal). Service was prompt and friendly. Views were unreal! Highly recommend this establishment.

By far the best place we ate at during our 3 days in Jackson. Firstly, the views are incredible and there is such a relaxing atmosphere on the outdoor patio with plenty of tables in the shade. The food was top notch - I had the Casper Power Bowl and it was was so good, really fresh with a delicious green goddess sauce. As a vegetarian, I've had a lot of salad bowls and this was one of best. I especially loved the generous amount of avocado. The staff were so kind and attentive, and it was such a treat compared to the service we got at many restaurants in town where no one would greet you for 10+ minutes. We were also able to bring our dog, which was an unexpected surprise as the restaurant is located within a museum. We called ahead and they were happy to accommodate our dog, we just had to walk him through the lobby of the museum. I'll definitely be back here on my next trip!

absolutely wonderful! great beet salad. totally enjoyable. Alvaro a new addition to the wait staff does a very nice job of high quality service!

Beautiful scenery overlooking the Elk Refuge, and the restaurant is located inside the National Museum of Wildlife Art. There were three of us in our party and each lunch was absolutely delicious!

Hands-down the best view in town!!! Food was fantastic. A little difficult for a vegetarian, but there was stuff to choose from. As an added bonus, you get the museum.

We have visited the museum many times but not eaten at the Palate Restaurant there. We waited less than 30 min for a table with a magnificent view of the elk refuge. I had the soup of the day which was a delicious, delicate vegetarian corn "chowder" and the grown up grilled cheese. I would happily eat both again.

Amazing food , service and ambience - a visit to Jackson has to include lunch on the patio at Palate !

Palate is a wonderful place to enjoy great food, a beautiful view and amazing service. The tomato bisque soup was some of the best soup I've ever had. Sunny was fantastic and gave us wonderful recommendations. She was friendly, professional and left us with a smile in our faces. Highly recommend this wonderful cafe!

This was such a gem! I landed in Jackson around 11am and didn't know where to eat lunch. I looked at yelp and saw this was on the way to our air bnb. This is set is due the museum and this is a gorgeous spot for lunch! We walked in, the museum requires a temperature check and masks were required. We were seated immediately, we chose to sit outside and it was perfect. The customer service was friendly and attentive. We had drinks and lunch varying of the bison, salad, fish and chips. It was the perfect beginning of the trip and I would 100% return here.
