Authentique - Epicerie & Bar

"Cow. Goat. Soft. Ewe. No, we haven’t finally succumbed to our daily quarantine breakdown, we’re listing the types of cheese you can order along with Authentique’s excellent selection of wines. You can expect everything from natural reds to surprisingly affordable sparkling wines, and although they’re open from 10am to 8pm for collection, they’re also delivering locally around Tufnell Park." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Authentique in Tufnell Park is a Francophone wine shop and bar that’s a perfect spot for a glass of something before moving on elsewhere. The regional wines on offer change periodically, and although wines by the glass are a little expensive, it’s a very good place for a couple of drinks. There is a changing menu inspired by French regions too." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna

"Authentique is a wine shop, bar, and restaurant in Tufnell Park, and drinking in their little patio out back feels like being at a friend’s house. One that’s lucky enough to have a garden. And just like your mate, they have neighbours, so the fun ends at 8pm. Get here early for a casual glass of wine and some ham and cheese before moving on. " - jake missing, sinead cranna

"Authentique is a wine shop, bar, and restaurant in Tufnell Park, and it was already one of our favourite spots in north London for a casual glass of wine and some ham and cheese before we discovered they had a little patio at the back. They’re open all day Tuesday through Sunday, but if you want to use the patio you’ll have to do it before 8pm, because neighbours." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak
