The Look
This upscale restaurant is reminiscent of a chic Manhattan eatery. Cosmopolitan, upscale and comfortably classy, it boasts an open concept with lounge seating and big windows overlooking Chateau Laurier and the capitol. The minimalist décor only adds to the feeling of casual elegance, making it a perfect setting for intimate dining, yet spacious enough to host larger groups as well.
The Food
Sante's specialty is globally inspired cuisine with an Asian bend. The chicken satay, red snapper and seafood sizzler are all house favourites, and the presentation is just as elegant as the surroundings. The menu is extensive, with a wonderful selection to please every palate. They also have an international wine list that features over 100 vintages to choose from. Don’t let the size of the list intimidate you, the servers are knowledgeable and happy to help you pair your meal with a fine choice from their selection.
Who's There
Though everyone is welcome and the menu is affordable, Sante seems to attract a more upscale professional crowd. It may have something to do with the ultra chic setting, but don't let that deter you. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or looking for a place that would suit your business dinner, you will be glad that you stopped in. They have a casual dress code and a very friendly, eager-to-please staff. Be sure to put this place on your list; it's definitely worth the trip.
