bastardo (by LARDO)

You're walking into something genuinely unpretentious on Richmond Road in Walthamstow, where the LARDO crew have set up a proper wine operation. The sort of place where they're excited about what's in the glass rather than how it looks on Instagram. Expect a tight, characterful space—the kind that feels lived-in from day one—with a carefully curated list leaning towards natural and low-intervention wines, most available by the glass. It's not trying to be clever; it's just doing the thing properly, with the kind of energy that makes you want to linger over a second bottle and whatever food they're running with.
