Épicerie Fine is an independent French deli and restaurant at 449 Smithdown Road in Liverpool. Established in 2022, it shifts naturally from a daytime cafe and brunch spot into a neighbourhood bistro on later opening days, with table bookings and private hire available.
Morning and daytime choices include French pastries, tartines and creative brunch plates. Croissants, pain au chocolat and other bakes sit alongside savoury combinations such as merguez sausage or mushrooms on bread, giving customers a choice between a short coffee stop and a fuller meal.
Charcuterie and cheese boards reflect the deli side of the business and are well suited to sharing with wine. The evening selection moves through small and large French inspired plates using seasonal ingredients, while vegetarian and vegan choices help the concise menu accommodate mixed groups.
Bottles of French wine, cheeses and pantry products can be bought to take home as well as enjoyed in the restaurant. That combination of cafe, bistro and shop gives Épicerie Fine a flexible character, equally useful for brunch, an informal dinner, a tasting event or a relaxed drink with a board of food.
