To understand what Santé Restaurant and Charcuterie is all about, you really only need to take one hard look at it’s moniker and have an elementary grasp of the French language. “Bonne santé” is the French expression for good health, which is exactly what this health-conscious downtown Spokane eatery caters to with its flavorful menu that changes seasonally (or sometimes daily, depending on the produce from the restaurant’s local farmers) and a wine list featuring European- and Washington-grown vino. Try the John Dory with a baked tomato and basil orzo, Vichy carrots, lemon thyme, butter fondue and balsamic.
