    I had been wanting to come here for a while and it was worth the hype. Every taste we had in our wine flights was something special. We also sampled a French whiskey that was wonderful and very different from the whiskeys I typically drink. The goat cheese salad was amazing and fresh bread, butters, and cheeses were incredible. The owners and staff were also very welcoming and attentive. Adorable atmosphere and I felt like I was on a European vacation. We spent almost three hours there and it was hard to leave!

    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.

    A great place with a comfortable atmosphere. It felt very private, but fun and alive at the same time. The wine was amazing and everything that my wife and I had to eat was great. Strongly recommend The Athentique to anyone looking for good wine and food!

    Our server was excellent and spoke impeccable French. He was very attentive. The food was delicious! We loved the meat charcuterie board and wine flights. The ambience is that of a French cafe in Paris. Who knew it was in this space on Main Street and what delights were inside!

    Great little Parisian wine bar owned and operated by a husband & wife. If you’re a wine enthusiast, Authentique is for you. Offering a charming ambiance with a carefully selected wine list with a few bottles you’re not going to find anywhere else in Nashville, including one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s favorites. The service was fabulous & welcoming. Great place to enjoy an intimate glass of wine with that special person in your life, or a place to meet and converse with other wine enthusiasts. I will be going back!

    Hey Sean! We are happy to provide a great fine wine experience in Nashville - feedback like this keeps us moving. Thank you for the great review and see you soon!
