Authentique - Epicerie & Bar

You'll find yourself in a narrow, lived-in space on Fortress Road that feels like you've stumbled into a Parisian neighbourhood bistro by accident. The counter is lined with bottles of natural wine—the kind that actually taste like something—while carefully curated French provisions crowd the shelves behind. Order a glass of something orange or amber, grab a board of properly aged charcuterie, and settle in at one of the small tables. It's unpretentious but entirely intentional, the sort of place where the staff actually know what they're pouring and can talk you through their suppliers without sounding like a wine bore.
