A group of ten friends went to Taste Matters tonight for dinner. It surpassed all our expectations. Service was friendly, food was five star and if it were not for the fact that we do not live in the area we would definitely be back in the near future. We could not praise it too highly. Superb taste and quality.... More

Brought my very extended family to Taste Matters to lunch today. Yet again we were treated to very good food, lovingly prepared and served at exceptionally reasonable prices. A winning combination.

Earlier this year four of us decided to have a meal out and said we'd give "Taste Matters" a try. As it turned out it was a great decision. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was exceptional. Everyone in our group was impressed both with the... More

Excellent imaginative food. Very health and fresh, locally sourced. Service great, attentive but not intrusive, cosy intimate venue. A gem.

Visited here a few months ago when back in Loughrea visiting family. Had heard nothing but praise for the restaurant and decided to take my family out for a meal. Admittedly, it doesn't look much from the outside, more of a cafe but I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. I loved the fact they displayed artwork by local artists.... More

Thank you for your lovely write up! We are really happy you and your family had a good time in our restaurant and enjoyed not only our food and service, but also the local artwork. As for the wine list, I wish it could be a little more extensive, however with the space available for the wine I cannot go... More

We were a party of four out hunting again and booked rather late in the day, so had an early dinner. We girls shared a starter - the pate, which was great. All the meals, without exception, were well prepared, delightfully presented and we were lucky as we did not have to leave as early as thought. We really enjoyed... More

Thank you so much for another lovely review! It is really such pleasure to see our customers returning, the more so, if they are from abroad and come once a year!! Many thanks for coming back and bringing your friends. We will see you next time you are over in Ireland. More

I visited Taste Matters with my husband a few weeks ago on a Saturday night and I really enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. The food was really good, I had the duck for main and my husband had steak and both were excellent, and I wouldn't normally eat Duck so that is saying something. We both had monkfish for starters...

Very good value for money and very nice high quality food, although corkage fee of E10 is too much. Also make sure you book well in advance as it is full booked regularly.

Thank you for your lovely review! As for the corkage, there must have been misunderstanding as we charge 5eur per bottle, not 10eur. Perhaps you had 2 bottles that night? If not, I sincerely apologize and please do mention it to us on your next visit. We will settle the difference. Thank you again. More
