Square Meal Review of Fino ?

Don't expect hanging hams and faux-bodega kitsch at Fino – this Spanish stalwart staked its claim as a serious tapas enterprise long before the current crop of fashionable young pretenders arrived. A well-groomed dining room reflects its sense of purpose with sober wood panelling and smart modern art, while the kitchen's preference is for clearly defined flavours: whet your appetite with perfectly squidgy ham croquetas, before moving on to baby cuttlefish nuanced with romesco sauce or, perhaps, the signature crisp pork belly. There are also one or two more elaborate constructions at play (octopus head with fennel tempura, for example), although it's hard to trump a straightforward tortilla with a deliciously runny centre. The food is supported by a carefully crafted, reasonably priced list of all-Spanish wines. ‘One of London's little gems' insists a fan – although others have complained about high prices of late.

    Saying it straight :: A fine time at Fino

    And now, I’m going to do a version of the conveyor belt on the Generation Game. Remember that? You had to look at a whole list of items as they whooshed past you and then remember as many as you could so that you could take them home. My version is to try and remember as many of the dishes that I had at Fino this week, without resorting to looking at my photographs. What fun...
