About us
Authentique – Epicerie & Bar is the brainchild of 4 French guys who grew up with a passion for artisan food and drinks.
Having lived abroad for years, we have witnessed a strong crave, from local communities, for craft products from France and the French Speaking world.
Authentique – Epicerie & Bar is our way to combine our enthusiasm for Francophone Gastronomy with our urge to share and learn with you about the savoir-faire, the products, their creators and terroirs.
As a result, every month you will have the chance to discover one of the 12 Francophone Regions we are showcasing, through a carefully curated selection of food and drinks as well as a monthly dinner designed by one of our guest chefs.
Meet our Head Chef Jake Taylor
Raised in East London, Jake’s love of food began at home and was shaped early on by his family ties to the South West of France. Classically trained and seasoned across some of London’s finest kitchens, he went on to cook abroad — most notably running his own open-fire restaurant in Dakar, Senegal.
Now back in the UK, Jake has joined us at Authentique where he brings together the regional traditions of France and the best of seasonal, locally sourced British produce — always with a focus on flavour and sustainability.
Kitchen opening hours
Cheese and charcuterie boards are available at all times, outside of kitchen hours.
