About Authentique - Epicerie & Bar

Authentique - Epicerie & Bar is a French wine bar on Fortess Rd in Tufnell Park, London, with a deli and wine shop under the same name. The wine list rotates through guest regions of France, and a sommelier is on staff. Wine by the glass is available, and orange wine is on the list. Cheese and charcuterie boards come with the option to choose your own cheese or charcuterie, and the cheese board is served with homemade chutney and French bread and butter. Wine tastings are paired with cheese, meat and bread. The épicerie side sells French products and wine to take home. The bar is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed Mondays.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often come for the wine, praising the diverse by-the-glass list with rotating French regions, an orange wine, and a 1994 Chateau Montrose a diner found at a fair price. Cheese and charcuterie boards sit close behind, and one reviewer says the homemade chutney deserved a standing ovation alongside the cheese. Others mention a family wine tasting paired with cheese, meat and fresh French bread, ending with cheese, wine and mustard to take home, and even the bread and butter get praise. One private party diner points to a baked salmon with leek and mussel sauce. Staff, including a sommelier, are described as knowledgeable, friendly and ready with recommendations. The main caveats are small: one couple wished for more vegetarian options, and they also had to point out a pricing error on a dish. Reviewers say the staff apologized, and several say they would return.
