Fino Restaurant (Bar, Restaurant)

Fino is a Spanish Tapas Restaurant and Bar, located just off Charlotte Street in the heart of London's West End. Their aim is to provide top quality Tapas, using the best ingredients they can obtain, in stylish surroundings and with friendly efficient service.

Fino is the brainchild of Sam and Eddie Hart, two young brothers and hispanophiles, who, due to their love of Spanish food and upbringing in the restaurant industry, have the perfect background for bringing fabulous Tapas to London. Their Head Chef, Jean Phillipe Patruno, who trained at the 3 Michelin Star Chez Nico, has been with Fino

“I absolutely ADORE this restaurant, which I think is second only to its sister Barrafina for the sheer quality of its tapas. The fennel and tomato salad is unbelievably good, all down to an incredible dressing. The ham croquetas are divine, being light and fluffy yet full of flavour and zero oiliness. But the best was the tortilla with chorizo - so much better than the best I've had in my visits to Barcelona! Needless to say, I bought the Fino cookbook on leaving to see if the recipe was inside. A note on the staff - Sebastien, our waiter and I believe the Manager, was the epitome of professionalism, but melded that skill with a deftness of touch and conviviality. It is fortunate this was the case, as the restaurant itself has a bit of a feel of an airport lounge, in that it's very open and not all that cosy. Atmosphere therefore is a little perfunctory and I think it could do with a bit of an update...”
