    Always love dining at Ripponlea Food and Wine and this was no exception. The Cauliflower starter is a must and they aren't wrong about the sticky wine being the best in Australia!

    Chris Annalena and Pam gave us 5 star service last night. All are extremely professional, caring and fabulously friendly without being too accessive. We enjoyed our dinner very much. The steak was to die for tasty. No effort to cut with our knives. Ambience was perfect. Would definitely recommend dining at Ripponlea Food and Wine. Andrea Jayne Jennings and Therese Williams.
