Sante Restaurant & Charcuterie is well known for its exquisite dinners served with a creative showing of ingredients and flavors. But have you tried them for breakfast? The coffee, roasted by Spokane’s Four Seasons, is brewed thick, and the pace is un-rushed. If you enjoy watching people or just like feeling connected to downtown, grab a seat by the window.

Sante is the place to treat yourself to a mimosa. This squeezed-when-you-order orange juice and prosecco beverage tingles in your mouth. Just the right amount of sweet and tart mixed with a light carbonation.

Their breakfast food is not only amazing, but also unexpectedly affordable for the amount of food and the abundant local ingredients used. The omelets are gluten free, as is the shirred eggs ($9, my favorite). Though gluten free was not indicated on the breakfast menu itself, just mention you need gluten free, and the server will not only know exactly what that means, but the request will yield delicious potatoes with home made ketchup rather than the toasted baguette. The shirred eggs, with house made cheese melted over three eggs with pancetta, are, well….perfect. Topped with warmed greens and a red pepper confiture that adds a touch of sweetness. I dream about this dish.

Thanks for this great website and detailed information on gluten-free dining in Spokane. Luckily I don’t have to deal with food allergies or gluten-intolerance, but I certainly have many friends who do. It’s great to know where to take out-of-town friends who require gluten-free.
And honestly, if a restaurant is diligent on educating its staff and servers on food allergies, and dedicated to making sure its customers needs are met when it comes to dietary needs, you know that same due diligence is occurring in all the other aspects of ingredient procurement, preparation and serving. That’s means a lot.
Thanks again for this great resource!
