Authentic French café on Smithdown Road transporting customers to south of France

A beautiful café and deli on Smithdown Road is offering customers an "authentic" taste of the south of France.

Epicerie Fine opened in the middle of June, the realisation of owner Sarah Marion's lifelong wish to run her own venue. Sarah, originally from Ayrshire, Scotland, has lived in Liverpool for 22 years, with the French elements and experience coming from her husband's family.

Determined to offer the people of Liverpool something truly "authentic" and "unique", Sarah launched the café and deli with produce imported from France and décor inspired by the country. Light, stripped floorboards and white walls are flanked by a large window painted to perfection in Farrow & Ball's 'Cook's Blue' - the only colour Sarah could find that conjured the shade painted on shutters throughout southern France.
