Best Wine Bars in East Bank

Always our favorite local spot. Great table in a quiet alcove. Wonderful food and service as always.

Very good food and wine. Beautiful outfit. Place to go frequently

Mere Bulles has quickly become my absolute favorite spot for Sunday brunch! The food is consistently excellent, with a variety of delicious options that cater to every taste. The service is top-notch—attentive, friendly, and welcoming every time. (Ann Marie was outstanding.) This past Sunday was extra special when Santa made a surprise visit, adding a magical and festive touch to the already delightful experience. It’s those thoughtful, unexpected moments that make Mere Bulles stand out even more. If you’re looking for great food, outstanding service, and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend Mere Bulles for brunch. Can’t wait to go back!

Authentique serves a limited but very tasty menu. The focus is the French wine – available by the glass or a bottle, but perhaps better by choosing one of the several different flights offered by the restaurant,  each offering four different wines from the flight you select – with the flights ranging from lightest white to boldest red. For dining, you are offered choices of charcuterie, cheeses,  crêpes, beef tartare (unbelievably good) and wonderfully delightful desserts. The restaurant is small, comfortable, dimly but sufficiently lit, and softly filled by the music of a jazz duo (upright bass and alto sax) in the back of the room that sets the mood, but never interferes with conversation. This was my second visit, and after two days of Thanksgiving gorging amongst the family crowd, these were the perfect small bites with a glass of wine and quiet conversation that I needed. The two owners and their small staff are delightful, and offer outstanding service at a reasonable price for the quality of what is served. I  strongly recommend that any lover of a good glass of wine try this small but excellent café.

The food was excellent and perfectly paired with wine. The service was wonderful and produced an atmosphere great for a date night. Looking forward to our next visit!
