And the pandemic further pushed people switch to healthier lifestyles, including adopting vegan and vegetarian food choices, which are not only healthier for the body but also good for the environment. Sante spa cuisine was launched in 2016. Since then we have grown more than 100% year on year and today we are present in 5 cities with 6 restaurants in action and two more will be operational by August 2022. All this speaks volumes at the speed of growth of the Brand and we cannot be anything but grateful and hopeful for the future!"
