    Loved this quaint, little spot. The staff is very knowledgeable and kind, and the wines amazing! We went at the right time to enjoy live jazz. Lovely. The space is tiny which is part of the charm, but also somewhat of a challenge for a party greater than two. Would definitely return for the wine. I’ve not had better wine in Nashville.

    Had the loveliest night at The Authentique last night! We shared a delicious steak tartare, warm goat cheese crostini with salad, and ended with the sweetest macaroons. Everything paired perfectly with a crisp, refreshing Chablis. Cozy vibe, great service ( thanks to Ben, Alex, Phili and Sam!), amazing food and wine. I can’t wait to go back!

    I would highly recommend any wine tasting. The food was also delicious. The wine has made us a firm believer of French wines.

    A Hidden Gem in Nashville – A Must-Visit! If you’re looking for a truly unique experience in Nashville, The Authentique is the place to be. The moment you step inside, you’re transported to a charming French bistro and wine bar that feels both elegant and welcoming. I enjoyed a perfectly crafted mushroom crêpe paired with a crisp Chablis—absolutely delicious! Choosing to sit at the bar turned out to be a highlight—I had the pleasure of chatting with the delightful owners, Alex and Phili, as well as the friendly and attentive staff, Victor and Sam. They made me feel completely at home. To top it all off, a live jazz band provided the perfect soundtrack to a memorable evening. Whether you’re local or visiting, The Authentique is a must for food, wine, atmosphere, and genuine hospitality.

    I had such a great time at the wine tasting yesterday! The vibe was super welcoming and relaxed. Alex made the whole experience really fun and approchable. The wines were fantastic - each wine had its own personality and I loved getting to try such a nice variety. I even found a couple new favorites I wouldn’t have picked on my own. Great people, great wine, and great time overall. Can’t wait to participate at the next wine tasting!

    Hey Caroline! It was wonderful hosting you during the wine tasting. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the wines and knowledge. We hope to see you during the next ones! Merci!

    Wonderful little spot with fantastic wines, excellent food and genuine service. Cheeses and crème brûlée were exceptional. I’ll be back, and hope they expand the menu to include a few more classic french bistro menu items. Live jazz was very nice.
