Epicerie Fine in Liverpool

Great food (especially the desserts) and very friendly, attentive service. Visited on a Friday night. A little loud initially when there were 2 groups (the restaurant could do with a few soundproofing wall panels), but once they left the atmosphere was lovely. Would elevate the experience further if the staff could recommend wine pairings with food / have a bit more knowledge about the wine list. The wine list itself is very good (just had to google to find more information). Will be back to try the breakfast. Highly recommended, especially for special occasions.

Quality food, great intimate atmosphere and exceptional service. Such value for money, definitely stop here if you’re in town! They host great special events and evenings as well!

A great little place on Smithdown road for a lovely breakfast. They sell wine there too and the Champagne we bought to take home was excellent.

This is a fantastic place. I love the wine tasting events, a great selection of wines (thank you Adam) delivered in a fun infomal way with 6 substantial plates that are matched. The quality of the food, be it at the wine tasting or lunch is first class. Fantastic atmosphere.

lovely food and great people! had the best time at the wine tasting tonight!!! Adam was a great host and taught a very amateur wine drinker (me) a lot of interesting facts about the wine we were drinking tonight. As always Epicerie, made the most yummy food to pair with everything! thank you for an amazing night xoxox

Absolute delight, could be in France. Gorgeous food, staff & service. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food, great staff and very authentic. The atmosphere is more cozy after 8pm, when it seems to fill out a little more with customers. Because it's somewhere in the middle of Smithdown Road (not at the busy end dominated by student hangouts or the buzzier Allerton) it seems to be passed over by many looking for a place to eat. But that's a shame because it really is one of the best restaurants in Liverpool, and I hope it stays around for years to come.

I’ve been to Epicerie Fine for a drink before, but today was my first time dining in. I have been a fool for sitting on this gem for so long. We came for brunch, and boy did we have a treat. I have the merguez sausage tartine, and my wife had the mushroom tartine. It was absolutely delicious. The staff are delightful, the atmosphere is chilled. It’s a classic French bistro on Smithdown. What’s not to love? We are absolutely coming back for dinner.

Delightful little French bistro

We really enjoyed the special Scottish menu for the kick off of the Euros. Everything we had was delicious. It's really difficult to make Scottish dishes, which lets face it are stodgy, look and taste refined. But Epicerie Fine managed to. The service, as always, was excellent too.

Friendly staff. Great tasty dishes. Great place for breakfast or brunch. They sell some French wine and products.

Absolutely outstanding asparagus special. The most delicious lunch, incredibly fresh and beautifully flavoured. Service excellent. Our niece took us when we were visiting Liverpool and we will definitely return on our next visit. Coffee excellent too.

Great little place tucked away on Smithdown! A classic French menu and ambience, with exceptional service, well prepared food and a great selection of wines. The French cocktails were great too!

Excellent food and service. Amazing puddings.

Service friendly, food good. A little under seasoned, with no salt and pepper on the tables. That's a little pretentious, but it's French. What do you expect?

Excellent breakfast this morning, very impressive quality and well priced. The scrambled eggs with salmon was delicious and the best breakfast/brunch I've had in a while as a visitor from SW London. (If I lived here I'd definitely be a regular). Friendly staff and very accommodating to our group with Gracie the dog in tow and a flat battery phone situation. Highly recommended *****

The atmosphere, food and service in this place are great! We went on a Saturday evening and really, really enjoyed it. You completely forget that you’re on Smithdown Road - they’ve got it all just right!

If every neighborhood had this place, the terrible chain restaurants of the world would be ruined. Lovely service, delightful food that fulfilled the brief. A delightful selection of a multi course lunch and a bottle of wine for £50. A steal in any other British city

Brilliant food, atmosphere and staff. Always great to visit!

love it here so much, a little slice of 🇫🇷 food is delicate and delicious, the wines are superb and a really good price. A must try.

Absolutely love it here. Have been for a cheese tasting, dinner and afternoon tea. All have been excellent. Staff are lovely and great value for money. Will be back!

Hired out for my 21st birthday party. I would highly recommend! Gorgeous venue with a great selection of drinks and lovely atmosphere. The staff were brilliant, really friendly and attentive. I had a really special night so thank you very much!

Superb food, lovely atmosphere and great staff - what more could you ask?! We had three courses, a la carte menu, steak was particularly excellent. Just wish they had a place in our town! well worth the visit.

Really lovely friendly french cafe. Staff and Owners provide excellent service. Great selection of food and drink at reasonable prices. Brilliant addition to the local area

Lovely French bistro, food is exceptional, as is the service. While you're there, brows the fabulous array of fresh and tinned artisan food. Sardines and olives highly recommended.

the loveliest cafe in liverpool <3 only thing it’s missing is a more diverse tea selection !!

Booked a table here for my birthday brunch, despite it being a busy Saturday morning (& us being a big party + a toddler) the staff were absolutely amazing, so attentive & polite. I’ve visited before and decided on the place for my birthday because of the food, it’s SO good… special mention to the French Toast (omg). I wasn’t let down, the food and drinks (elderflower spritz was the best thing I drank all day) were amazing! - again, despite it being busy the quality of every dish and drink we ordered was 11/10!! So tasty & delicious, and all arrived nice and fast. I can’t thank the staff, front and back, enough for a wonderful service and making the day so special, thank you!

This place is a little gem. Totally authentic and great service and atmosphere. We came for a light lunch and stayed having good wine. We ate figs on whipped goat's cheese, perfect! Little deli items, great couldn't resist the bisque. And a hot French baguette to go. Definitely be back soon.

Good coffee, friendly staff, and good atmosphere. Will definitely be going back

Quality produce and informative staff, would highly recommend , fabulous meats , cheese , beers and quality mains . Only 3 star for atmosphere as I dont like dogs but they are welcome

Oh, the charms of Liverpool’s Smithdown Road have been elevated with the addition of Epicerie Fine! This gem of a café/restaurant is a delightful escape to the rustic alleys of Paris without ever leaving the heart of Liverpool. First, let’s talk about the food - it’s simply divine. Each dish is a love letter to French cuisine, crafted with passion and flair. From the buttery croissants to hearty mains, every bite promises a gastronomic journey to the heart of France. And the drinks? The coffee would make any Parisian nod in approval, while the wine list offers a curated tour of France’s finest vineyards. But it’s not just about what’s on the plate or in the cup. The ambiance is equally intoxicating. Whether you’re whispering sweet nothings on a romantic date, enjoying quality family time, or hunting for a cozy nook to get some work done, Epicerie Fine sets the scene just right. And with its affordable prices, you can indulge without breaking the bank. The event nights? An absolute must. They’re the kind of evenings you’ll chat about for weeks, bringing a sprinkle of French festivity to Liverpool. Yet, what truly makes Epicerie Fine shine is its wonderful staff. A special shout-out to Niall and Sarah, who, with their impeccable service and warm smiles, make every visit feel like a return to a beloved friend’s home. In essence, Epicerie Fine is more than just a café or a restaurant. It’s a slice of France in Liverpool, welcoming everyone with open arms. Whether you’re seeking a delicious meal, a glass of exquisite wine, or simply a corner to relax in, this is the place to be. À la vôtre!

All things French What a delightful bistro .Delicious brunch served by well-informed staff. It is dog friendly. The charcuterie and cheese board was delicious, as was the small quiche ... truly tasty . Will definitely check it out for an evening experience . (Chairs could be more comfortable would be my ony comment .)

Lovely local bistro. Excellent choice of small or large plates. Well cooked fresh ingredients. Superb service and convivial atmosphere. Good choice of reasonably priced wine.

Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended.

Fabulous food , relaxing atmosphere and great staff xx

A friendly welcome in an authentically French place without all the clichés! As a french person, I felt at home in Epicerie Fine. I would recommend it a 100% !

Delicious breakfast, pastries, coffee and friendly service

What a gorge little place! We came here for a glass of wine, the waiter was knowledgable and gave us a try before we committed to a bottle. Loads of great French produce is on sale too which I’ll be coming back for as they’ll make amazing gifts. Lovely atmosphere and really well priced. We’ll be back for brunch!

The only negative was the loud music, esp as it was distorted.

Nice little French cafe on Smithdown Road, how cool is that! Great for morning coffees, relaxed lunches and classy evening meals too! We're very lucky to have placed like this. Also has a deli with otherwise hard to source French cheeses and charcuteries and wines, including Methode Ancestrale Limoux sparkling.

Steak and frites night. Lovely food and wine🥩🥂. Great atmosphere too.

Best coffee on Smithdown - great collection of pastries, bread, cheeses, and wine, amongst all the other good stuff. My partner and I are obsessed - nice staff, quick service, and an all round pleasant experience.

Great selection of cheese, wine and charcuterie made better by lovely owners

It was sad they didn't have croque monsieur but other menus were really tasty and staff was lovely too.

A little slice of heaven just off the bustling Smithdown Road. Perfect food, wine and service. Plan on spending a few hours!

Great food and welcoming atmosphere in a lovely space. We had brunch, cocktails and bought some cheese to take home. Looking forward to returning soon.

Amazing little gem. The menu changes regularly based on the ingredients available, so everything is fresh, tasty, and in season. Great food, well cooked, served in a lovely setting, by friendly and knowledgeable staff.... What's not to like! They've got great wine and deli selection and sauces, jams, and other ingredients. Treat !yourself

Been to a couple of the wine tasting evenings and a private party event... really impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the food and the general ambience. Such a gem of a place!

Promt service. Helpful staff, took the time to explain what the menu options were. Lunch was delicious. We will return for an evening meal.

I loved my tea and cake here! The cake was one of the best and freshest homemade cakes I’ve had in a long time.

This place man, such amazing products, such an amazing menu, the staff are stellar and they were so welcoming and accommodating for a large difficult and annoying booking I couldn’t recommend enough, should have a line out the front every night it’s really that good

Very friendly staff, beautiful interior design, incredible food and drink. Although it is pricey for somewhere on Smithdown, the quality of food and drink is so high that it is still very good value, in my opinion. Great to have such a lovely place on Smithdown Road!

Lovely atmosphere, amazing food, great prices, all round lovely little place to go. Perfect for anyone! We would especially like to thank the staff who were working today, they were so helpful and kind, we will definitely be back! A little escape from busy life was very much needed and satisfied in this gem!

Had a delicious light lunch. Lovely atmosphere & friendly staff….a hidden gem. We’ll be back. Thank you!

Brilliant. Attended wine tasting night, amazing food, took really good care of us and provided great vegetarian options. Excellent value also, can’t recommend enough, will be popping back for coffee soon.

A fabulous deli/cafe bringing a stylish slice of France to Liverpool. Wonderful ambiance, an amazing authentic French menu and produce to buy and take home. Highly recommended and a must for all coffee and patisserie lovers too!

Excellent service and fantastic food.

The food is good but the menu is severely limited so not much choice. I was very surprised and disappointed by the non-existant onion soup! It is also a problem that the menu is only in French with no English translation ~ a bit pretentious really as not everybody speaks French 🤔 I wish the business well as the food is good and the service and welcome friendly, warm, and professional.

A fantastic bit of France on Smithdown, excellent service, beautiful warm, relaxed surrounding. A lovely breakfast, brilliant service and really was glad we couldn't get into the Watering Can last month. What is also great, genuine Fench products, its years since I had orange bitters, last time in France and can't get it anywhere...but YES, bought some!!! Can't wait to go for a lovely Fench lunch !!!!

Very nice French delicatessen maybe too nice for Smithdown Road. Fits well in a elegant road and I fear will not have the appreciation that deserves

Lovely interior, lady who served us explained everything on the menu. It was delicious baked goats cheese and walnuts, even accommodated our granddaughter with cheese and toast on the side. My daughter enjoyed a lovely glass of white wine. Happy memory

Fabulous little French cafe/Deli with the most gorgeous food and friendly staff, highly recommended

Really lovely coffee, pastries, loo and of course staff/ owner. So friendly and warm. Good luck.

Staff are so welcoming, kind and friendly. The menu is imaginative and the pastries are incredible! My friend and I shared a quiche and a cronut and were impressed with the quality how little it came to. Excited for our next visit, Smithdown is lucky to have Epicerie Fine!

Really gorgeous place, great cheese and charcuterie, great service and music. Will be back!

A fantastic and welcome addition to Smithdown road. Epicerie Fine provides a truly French experience in calm and welcoming environment. The food and wine are brilliant and the service is second to none. We highly recommend their cheese plates and the prawns are incredible!

Beautiful traditional French treats. Good price for what you get. Service was lovely and the decor is beautiful. Really feels like you're in a little delicatessen in France. Would highly recommend for a nice lunch 😋😋

Excellent service, atmosphere and food

Lovely place for lunch.Friendly and knowledgeable service.We loved the decor and the food and drinks were beautifully served.Everything we chose was delicious .Will return to try the breakfasts next time.

Absolutely lovely cafe/delicatessen with a fantastic ambiance, gorgeous fresh food (I had the mushroom with a light pastry - wished I'd paired with a glass of red wine, rather than a coffee), and attentive service. Really relaxing stop on our way to a walk around Sefton Park. I can see this becoming a regular pit stop on our journeys around the area. Decor is tastefully put together with a bright and airy feel. Brilliant new venue on Smithdown. A real credit to the local owners. Shame I didn't get some better photos, go and see for yourself as it's definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Absolutely amazing hot chocolate and croissant!! Such a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back for wine in the evening.

Great customer service as soon as you walk through the door, all staff were incredibly welcoming and the pastries were delicious! Would recommend

New French Cafe and deli (real one) with a fine choice of cured meats, cheeses, alcools, wines, breads, and pickles. The breakfast menu includes pastries. You can also choose from tarte du jour, salad or gambas. Really tasty. Fine food, delicate flavors. Typical of Provence (including pastis and panisse, and gateau provençal for those who miss it). To be fair, the portions are rather small, however delicious and truly authentic.

Cracking place for really good wine Excellent wine list, with exceptionally priced quality wines by the glass. Came for breakfast and the croissant was on point too. Would recommend for a chill morning coffee or a classy drink at night. Kudos to the owners for an excellent addition to smithdown!
