I was told this place was the only restaurant on island with local delicacies. They have the usual foods plus fruit bat, young taro leaf soup , stuffed crab and fish soup. I wasn’t adventurous enough to try the fruit bat, which I was told was popular with the Chinese . I tried the taro soup which was filling and very tasty. I also tried the crab which was also tasty .I am coming back for fish soup and the more ordinary dishes. The hotel employees treated me like family . This restaurant is inside the Peninsula hotel a block off main Koror downtown street.

Definitely recommended if you want to taste local food. As an appetizer we have sushi. It was excellent choice. Please note that the wasabi is much stronger than in Europe.
As a main course we had shrimps in vegetables and fish of the day parrot fish. It was very good. Price quality is good.

Stayed here for about a week for work. It’s simple and clean. The restaurant is ok, but eating there every day for the week, made me wish for some different foods. The bakery is excellent - I had dessert every night. It got the job done and for a good price. It’s not a resort by the sea, but a clean hotel with amenities in the middle of Koror.

Best kept secret in Palau. Came for the dinner, returned for the desert (twice), as we didn't have room for desert after the large amount of food. This restaurant was recommended by three different locals...they were right!!!
The Pistachio Cake is to die for!!!

We frequent this restaurant the most in Palau because it is situated within the Penthouse hotel and provides good food at great prices. The bakery offers some of the best breads and pastries on Palau.

Food is okay and location is good for down town meal. Their baked deserts are good. We've ordered multiple cakes from here for special occasions. This hotel is used frequently by work travelers and the restaurant makes a good location for lunch/dinner meetings. Menu has a variety of items. Parking, as with all of down town Koror can be an issue.

The staff was friendly, service was good. A must try - Taro bread french toast! Seasonal fruit was a good size platter of fresh fruit. The blueberry pancakes were simply pancakes with blueberry topping.

While in Palau we have eaten at the Penthouse Hotel restaurant several times. The fish of the day, Taro soup and selection of cakes were excellent.

We stayed in the Penthouse hotel and ate here quite a few times. I always look forward to breakfast, and most especially fish dinner. Service by the Filipino workers were excellent.

The Penthouse is by far the place to go if you want Palau’s local food experience. They specialize in “beldakl” the always fresh fish soup du jour, or the “sar ma cheluch” which is whole fish enrobed in a tasty concoction of coconut oil, salt, and white and green onions. You can pair your fresh fish with local golden or sweet purple taro, sunny tapioca, or the standard rice, and yes, even mashed potatoes. They also offer “demok” a rich creamy coconut soup flavored with taro-leaf, and the stuffed crabs topped with coconut cream. You can wash your dinner down with a tart and refreshing “titimel” or “kingkang” juice and then save room for one of their decadent desserts or take away a bag of their deep chocolate crinkle cookies or addictive cheesecake bread buns for a midnight snack. While almost everything they make is divine, they’ve yet to come up with a good tempura batter recipe. Recommend going there for breakfast or for dinner. Lunch is almost always a raucous affair with filled-to-capacity tables, and is the favorite hangout for business lunches and corporate events.

Our first dinner in Palau was at the Penthouse Restaurant. We ordered fish and demok, a taro leave with coconut milk soup that is common in many island cuisine. I was reminded with my own mother's cooking. The food here is so good we ate most of our meals here.

I consider it a very good restaurant with local, western, Japanese and some Chinese food on the menu. Service is usually fast and friendly and the food is well presented and quite good. One side of the restaurant is like a coffee shop, brightly lit for friends getting together to gossip and do business, and the other is more formal and laid out for just enjoying the good food. with friends and family. It is generally informal and not intended to impress particularly but just to provide good food and good service and I think it does that very well.

It's not in the main street but just behind, so no fancy high catching neon sign or huge billboard, ie prices are 30% cheaper than competitors (based on crab prices) and wider selection. To enter, you have to pass via the hotel lobby.
