    We love going to the Authentique. We love the wine, the food and the atmosphere. The food and wine are of the highest quality. Owners Alexandre and Philippine Meunier are both experts in French wine and cuisine and everything is beyond delicious. They have created such a warm and welcoming space, you will want to come again and again and experience everything on the menu and learn all about French wine and cuisine.

    Great spot for wine, but the charcuteries was expensive and not much for the cost. Go back for wine, but know this is a drinks only spot.
    The AuthentiqueResponded on April 18, 2025
    Hey Grace, Thank you for visiting and for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear the charcuterie board didn’t meet your expectations during your visit. We were actually away on our honeymoon that week and had our brother kindly step in to help — we made the choice not to hire someone temporarily so we could enjoy this special time, but we understand that came with some trade-offs. We’re back now, and our full menu — with over 20 additional items — is available once again. We'd love the chance to welcome you back for the full experience and to make it right. Thank you again for the kind words about the wine — and for your understanding during a very personal and joyful week for us. Warmly, Alexandre and Philippine

    This continues to be our favorite wine bar in Nashville! If you want a quieter experience, visit during the week. If you want a more lively atmosphere, try Friday or Saturday nights when there’s usually live music! Either way Alex and Phillippine are so warm and friendly and welcoming, and the wine and food are *chef’s kiss*!!!

    Hey Ashley! Always lovely having you both. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us and can't wait to have you all again. Thanks for the great review!

    We really enjoy this hidden gem! I like the opportunity to try wines that aren’t usually found in most restaurants or stores. The Authentique had become one of our favorites in all of Nashville.
