Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Spokane and Eastern Washington right now.
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.
This speakeasy-style restaurant/bar, steps down from the Montvale Hotel, has a cool vibe, with brick and stone walls that feel medieval, juxtaposed with very modern comfort food. Menu choices include a tater tot casserole with brisket and roasted wild mushrooms, salmon n' grits, harissa meatloaf, and wild mushroom stroganoff. Coconut cream pie with banana whipped cream is a delicious end to a meal.
