What's on at The Rubens
Leopard Lounge & Restaurant
Nothing represents Palm Beach like the legendary Leopard Lounge & Restaurant. One of Palm Beach’s best-loved institutions, it epitomizes gilded age sophistication. Invoking images of the grand institutions of the early 20th century, the jet black lacquer of the walls is highlighted with golden fittings, leather banquettes and leopard skin print carpets. The bevelled mirrors and punkah fans add to the astonishingly atmospheric space that encapsulates the microcosm of Palm Beach.
Executive Chef Gerard Coughlin and his team have created a delicious menu, offering an eclectic mixture of classic American, English, Asian, and international dishes, served alongside much-loved signature recipes by our founder Beatrice Tollman, including Maryland Style Lump Crab Cakes, Gerard’s Turkey Burger, Shrimp Stroganoff, and Key Lime Pie.
Our menus are accompanied by an impressive wine selection of national and international varieties, including hand-crafted wines from our own award-winning South African vineyard, Bouchard Finlayson.
