The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!
Sweet young couple are doing a wonderful job re-creating a quiet Parisian evening. Really enjoyable experience.

Great wine experience! My wife and I had a flight of French wines that we’ve never previously tried. They were great! Owner was very friendly and explained all the nuances of the wines. Will definitely make this a priority every time we come to town.

I have come here a handful of times and it's the best. It's a family owned business and they are so friendly and attentive. For someone who doesn't know that much about wine I have had them pick out my selections and they never steer me wrong. Must try!!

This place is an absolute treasure. We hosted a birthday dinner here and everything was perfect. The crepes are some of the best I’ve ever had, and the wine list is extensive with plenty of options at any given price point. Don’t skip dessert; we tried 4-5 different ones and they were all amazing. Big thanks to Philippine and Alexandre for being wonderful hopes and making the night so special for us!

Cute little spot! Enjoyed the live music and quaint atmosphere. Great spot for a couple glasses of wine and some snacks. Wouldn’t recommend dinner here as they don’t have an actual kitchen.

Great date night spot. Great food, wine, music and service!
We absolutely love this place. The food is delicious. The service is phenomenal. They are experts when it comes to wine. The best wine list in Nashville! I highly recommend this place and we will be coming back again.

Had the cheese board, steak tartare and prosciutto, basil, goat cheese crepe. Had a red bottle of Bordeaux. All was good. Sat at the bar and service was impeccable. Jazz duo (keyboard and stand-up bass) began playing halfway through our meal, and we loved it. Not super loud, but added to the ambiance. We will definitely be back.

This is an amazing AUTHENTIC French wine bar. Amazing live smooth jazz music. Very knowledgeable owner and customer centric server and bartender. The food while simple is exquisite. High value not expensive. Very different from other places, real French and good wine selection. Unexpected in an area like it. Go try it out won't regret!

The Authentique is a great place for excellent wines and small plates! I asked several questions regarding a wine selection and the owner's knowledge and passion for wine is evident! He was extremely helpful and offered a taste before making a selection. Enjoyed the pleasant jazz musicians. Not too loud to have good conversations. Will be back for sure!

Great service and we enjoyed everything we ate- Nutella crepe with strawberries, crème brûlée, charcuterie plate. I was disappointed in the charcuterie plate as we had to purchase extra bread to finish it. I understand the bread has a high wholesale cost for the restaurant, but it seems like they could charge more for the charcuterie plate and provide the guests with adequate bread to enjoy the charcuterie plate. Overall, would come here again and order the charcuterie plate- with the understanding I'll be spending an extra $5-10 to fully enjoy the plate.
