On Saturday night, my wife and I had a reservation at Restaurant Fino, supposedly the best Spanish Restaurant in London. It's just off Charlotte Street, with the entrance actually in Rathbone Street. We trained it up to town and arrived about 20 minutes early for out 9pm booking. We went downstairs to the restaurant and shown immediately to our table, which was tucked away in a little corner. The atmosphere was buzzy, lots of hustle and bustle without being too loud. We read the menu with interest and decided on the following mix of Tapas dishes.
Potato and Chorizo Chips
Spanish Cold Meat Platter (Chorizo, Iberico Lomo etc)
Bread & Olive Oil
Queen Scallops
Chipirones (Baby Squid)
Stuffed Courgette Flowers
Tortilla
We also ordered a bottle of 2001 Urbina, Crianza which was lovely. All in all, the food was great and we polished off the evening with a glass of 1971 Don Pedro Ximenez, Gran Reserva and an Amaretto for my wife (on ice of course).
A great evening out and a restaurant that I would certainly recommend!
