A Matter of Taste — Restaurant in Ripon

I am a regular at A Matter of Taste. This restaurant has become my go-to place for an evening of exceptional food, a welcoming ambiance, and impeccable service. This is my intimate spot where every visit becomes a cherished gathering with friends.

One of my favorite rituals here is enjoying L'Apéro, just a pause before dinner that embodies the art of slow dining, which A Matter of Taste fosters. Seating on their paito, sipping on their curated wine while nibbling on their Pissaladière, instantly transported me to a café in the South of France.

Dinner never disappoints. On my last visit, I indulged in the Cod with honey-lemon-avocado vinaigrette—chef's kiss! The dish presentation, the burst of flavors and perfecly cooked fish was a a treat. I savored every bite! It was a meal that lingered in my memory so I had to order it to go the next day.

Whether you're looking for an elegant night out, a date, a relaxed gathering with friends, or a chance to explore flavors from around the world, A Matter of Taste delivers with every detail. If you appreciate thoughtful cuisine, warm hospitality, and a touch of European charm, this is a place worth returning...

After careful review of many area restaurants I came across A MATTER  OF TASTE. The owners helped me put together a catered meal for a dear family struggling with the loss of a wife and mother just before Christmas. I live out of state and have not had the privilege to meet them or patronize their restaurant.  I was hoping to find delicious food with quality ingredients and someone easy to work with since this arrangement was all sight unseen.  And that's exactly my experience - quick response and good communication.  The catered meal was prepared and delivered sooner than planned! Did I mention it looked amazing, check out the pics! These are wonderful kind-hearted people to work with.  Thank you for helping me give some comfort to a family at a most difficult time - the family enjoyed the food. Blessings for a prosperous New...
