COOK WITH INTENTION
We’re all about cooking with intention and purposeful ingredients to deliver a depth of flavor. Slowing down to do something well makes the enjoyment of great food and good conversation that much better.
EAT WITH THE SEASONS
Our food is straightforward and authentic. Our sharable plates change seasonally as we celebrate locally‐sourced produce at its prime. Seasonal eating is a delicious and sustainable way to support your local food purveyors and enjoy both recognizable flavors, as well as the unexpected.
YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS
We hope to be that third place for you to gather and catch up over a delicious meal and craft cocktails.
Owned and operated by the friendly and energetic couple, Owen and Mindi McGlynn of Asheville Proper, they wanted to create an inviting and easygoing space just for locals, located in North Asheville, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown life.

Rendevous is always outstanding. What I like about Rendevous first of all is the staff. Everyone is super friendly and very qualified at what they do. The ambience was absolutely beautiful with the Christmas season and the holidays approaching. But honestly, the very best thing is the food. It is spectacular every single time. The sauces are absolutely amazing and the meals are cooked to perfection. Thank you so much! We love it there! Our absolute favorite restaurant in Asheville.
