Created by chef Josh Henderson, Poulet Galore used to operate as a walk-up fried-chicken spot in South Lake Union. Because it was intended to cater to the Amazon campus, it was only busy at lunchtime. After business hours, it was too quiet to sustain the restaurant, and Henderson chose to close it in 2017.

The Ballard location is looking to be bigger, with a sit-down portion of the restaurant and patio. Right now it’s being completely gutted, as you can see in the photos above.

Poulet Galore tells My Ballard that they’re aiming to be open by August, but in the meantime, you may be able to sample their food at the Ballard Farmer’s Market — follow the restaurant on Instagram for updates.
