Nearly every small town in eastern Washington has at least one fast-food drive-through for a quick meal on the go, but choosing a slower pace will reward visitors with an authentic dining experience that often doesn't cost much more. Local diners and cafés are great spots for getting a hearty breakfast of traditional favorites like farm-fresh eggs or biscuits and gravy. Somewhat surprisingly, several of the small towns have outstanding dining options, too. At many restaurants there's an emphasis on locally grown, organic foods. With the region's many farms, it's easy to source produce, grains, poultry, meat, and dairy items, and some restaurants have their own gardens on-site for the freshest produce of all. Spokane has a good diversity of cuisines and some highly acclaimed restaurants, but up-and-coming Walla Walla is also becoming a mecca for foodies and wine lovers.
Since the early 1980s, Breadline has been a top dining destination in the Okanogan Valley for hearty servings of eclectic fare. The menu features local organic produce, a variety of freshly baked breads, and locally raised natural Angus beef. You'll find Cajun dishes such as jambalaya, as well as an around-the-world assortment of cuisines, including Italian and Greek. The bakery features such sweet treats as lavender shortbread cookies, espresso brownies, elaborately-decorated cakes, and other pastries and breads for take-out.
Chef Maximilien Petty, founder/owner of the Eden Hill and Big Max Burgers restaurants in Seattle, opened Kinglet in the former space of Whitehouse-Crawford in 2022 and quickly received acclaim for the elevated dining experience it offers. From small plates in the bar to the seven-course tasting dinners, available both in the dining room and at the chef's counter, the emphasis is on savoring delicious and artfully presented meals. Offerings change seasonally, highlighting local produce and purveyors, and might include the Walla Walla Waldorf salad, fried chicken thigh, or gouda cheeseburger in the bar, while tasting dinners might include Snake River steak or rack of lamb as entrees, perhaps with a chicken liver mousse starter. Reservations are essential for tasting dinners.

Tucked into a strip mall in south Spokane near the Creek at Qualchan Golf Course, this neighborhood restaurant serves a wide-ranging menu that changes frequently. Some standards include salmon with asparagus and fingerling potatoes, seared scallops, bistro salad with gorgonzola and figs, and rich desserts. For a sweet ending to your meal, try the seasonal fruit cobbler, peanut butter chocolate cake, or the "bucket of love" (gluten-free flourless mini-chocolate cakes dusted with spices). Sunday brunch features varied choices, from English-toffee-banana-pecan French toast to corned-beef hash with apples.
4241 S. Cheney–Spokane Rd., Spokane, Washington, 99224, USA
You'll find inventive approaches to classics here, from grass-fed beef burgers to duck with kumquat marmalade. Salmon charcuterie, coconut curry prawns, and oxtail sliders are good choices from the small plates menu. The luscious desserts are worth a visit on their own—especially the Grand Marnier beignets, cookies and cream layer cake, and house-made gelato. There's a curbside menu if you want to enjoy your meal in another setting; it includes some family-style options for salads and small plates.
5620 S. Perry St., Spokane, Washington, 99223, USA
Fresh flowers and redbrick walls lend color and charm to this downtown eatery, where a patio is open for outdoor dining when the weather gets warm. Depending on the season, the daily seafood might be steelhead, scallops, salmon, or halibut, usually served with grilled vegetables. Grilled pork tenderloin comes with bacon-fat roasted brussel sprouts, and local produce is the inspiration for such scrumptious vegetarian fare as white-cheddar-and-apple salad. Dessert specialties include vegan carrot cake and flourless dark chocolate and crystallized ginger torte.
