Palette’s is palate pleasing at the Denver Art Museum, says Food & Wine magazine

December 11, 2013

Food & Wine magazine has included Palettes in the Denver Art Museum among the “Best Museum Restaurants in the U.S.”

“Across the country, ambitious empire builders have turned boring museum cafeterias into destination restaurants,” the story says.

About Palettes, F&W wrote: “Chef Kevin Taylor opened this museum café in 1997. His new American menu spans from Anaheim chiles rellenos to a silken corn soup with barbecued shrimp (made famous at Zenith, Taylor’s long-gone notable noshery).

“Some dishes play on the restaurant’s name: Ingredients in the Cobb salad are arrayed like a painter’s palette. Others are riffs on the museum’s exhibitions. During a recent Yves Saint Laurent show, the menu included chic takes on retro French staples like trout amandine and steak frites.”
