"Excellent Breakfast and Dinner at Santé – Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa While staying at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, we had the chance to enjoy both breakfast and dinner at Santé, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. The restaurant has such a warm and cozy atmosphere, the kind of place where you feel comfortable lingering over a meal, and every dish was prepared with so much care and flavor. Breakfast was a perfect start to our days. ★ Avocado toast – fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor ★ Healthy bowl – light but surprisingly filling, a wholesome choice ★ Breakfast tacos – hearty and satisfying, packed with flavor ★ Crab eggs benedict – my personal favorite in the morning, indulgent and memorable Dinner was just as impressive, offering a refined yet approachable dining experience. ★ Pacific oysters – perfectly fresh and briny, a great way to start the meal ★ Corn soup – rich, silky, and comforting, packed with depth ★ Chicken mousseline – elegant and beautifully executed ★ Dry-aged duck breast – absolutely outstanding, cooked to perfection and truly one of the best duck dishes I have ever had What made Santé even more special for us is that they offer a pet menu, which our pup enjoyed just as much as we did. It was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel even more at home. From start to finish, Santé exceeded our expectations. Whether it was a relaxed breakfast or an elevated dinner, the food was consistently excellent and the service matched the quality of the cuisine. Santé is not only a gem within the Fairmont Sonoma, but a destination on its own. I would happily return again just for the food—and so would our pup."
