About

A small French tapas and wine spot in Sámara, L'Authentique wins people over with its charcuterie boards and traditional raclette, not something you expect to find here. The wine list is well curated and won't break the bank, desserts get high marks, and the room stays intimate and warm. Couples keep choosing it for a relaxed last-night dinner.

We closed out our time in the Samara region with a romantic dinner at the loveliest little French restaurant. The food was exceptional, the ambience intimate and warm the perfect last night.

Fantastic little French tapas restaurant. We had a charcuterie board and raclette. Both were great. Didn't expect to find traditional raclette in Samara. Highly recommend.
