    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!

    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.

    Hey Lee! It was wonderful serving you last week. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the food, wine and service. We will be sure to keep the menu interesting and are excited to have you back in soon!

    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
