Posted by Twinkie in California, Los Angeles, Restaurants on 6-18-13

Among the many restaurants in Los Angeles that claim to specialize in healthy, organic fare, Brentwood’s A Votre Sante is one of the few that truly commits itself to salubrious excellence. Nestled on San Vicente right next to the Brentwood Country Mart, the charming, café-style restaurant whose name means “to your health” in French has been offering an extensive variety of feel-good foods since 1987. Every dish is composed with precision and elegance: salads piled high with fresh greens, steamed vegetables, brown rice, avocado, and shredded purple cabbage; homemade Shelton Farms turkey meatloaf; organic chicken tucked in a whole wheat wrap with steamed veggies, tahini, avocado, and brown rice; gluten free brown rice pasta with tofu and fresh veggies in a ginger-tamari sauce; grilled falafel served with whole wheat pita, fresh tabuli, and cool hummus. If you can bear to take your eyes off the food, you might also notice that the place is a celebrity hideaway—it’s a favorite of Dennis Quaid, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, and Dylan...
