Le Regret

Le Regret - Review - Leytonstone - London - The Infatuation

"As the old adage goes, the smaller the wine bar, the bigger the hangover. And so in Le Regret, a Leytonstone wine bar the size of a “compact and cosy” London rental kitchen, you can expect the kind of two-day doozie where insatiable quantities of Lucozade and Bravo must be consumed. By day, Le Regret leads a respectable double life as a casual coffee spot where you can admire their suave piggy mascot while sipping a flat white. But come evening, this dinky schmoozer turns into an absolute scene and everything about it—the blackboard menu, the cap-loving crowd, the new natural wine options being uncorked by the hour—encourages a “go on, one more glass” mentality." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
