Located in the coastal town of Cromer, just under an hour’s drive from Norwich, Fino is a celebrated neighbourhood restaurant, offering a stylish yet laid-back dining experience that blends contemporary flair with rustic charm. Open for lunch and dinner, from Wednesday to Saturday, Fino is ideal for all occasions, whether you’re stopping by after a day at the beach or making a special trip from Norwich.
Fino’s interior is a blend of modern design and coastal charm, with exposed brickwork, soft wood accents, and an open kitchen that adds to the vibrant ambiance. The restaurant’s commitment to quality and hospitality is evident in every detail - from the attentive service to the beautifully plated dishes.
When it comes to the food, Fino boasts a menu rooted in Mediterranean and modern British influences, with a strong emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen team crafts a dynamic selection of small plates designed for sharing, allowing guests to explore a variety of flavours and textures in one sitting. The menu changes regularly, ensuring each visit offers something new and exciting.
Start with the likes of beef tartare with egg yolk and sourdough crackers, or grilled tiger prawns with confit garlic and sweet black lime butter. Mains, meanwhile, include dishes such as marinated bavette steak with duck fat rosti, caramelised roscoff onion, all served in a raifort sauce, or braised pork cheek with mash, baby leeks, caraway seed and a red wine jus. Daily lunch specials are also available, with the option to add a glass of house wine, a beer or a soft drink for a fixed price.
The drinks list is equally thoughtful, featuring a curated selection of wines, craft beers, and cocktails that pair beautifully with the food. The bar area, with its warm lighting and inviting atmosphere, is perfect for a pre-dinner aperitif or a relaxed evening with friends.
