Fino, 33 Charlotte Street, London, WIT 1RR

As soon as I walked through the glass doors and could no longer hear Charlotte Street, I felt like I was in NYC...or at least Carrie Bradshaw's NYC.

The lighting made the staff look trendy, the patrons beautiful and me chic. Despite all my efforts, I'm not chic. I'm about as far from chic as you could possibly get, yet somehow, the lighting in Fino allowed me to attain a quality that, over the years, I've struggled to achieve. 

This place is perfect for an after work dinner with colleagues or friends, and even though there isn't a huge selection of tapas for vegetarians, there is enough to keep us veggies happy. 

I think I ordered every veggie tapas and I only mildly disliked one: the artichoke which was a tad too 'fried' for my liking, but then again, it is meant to be fried artichoke. 
Everything else was delicious, albeit salty as See Food Eat Food pointed out...and that girl likes the salt. 

In particular, my favourite was the Piquillo Croquetas, from the Para Picar section: beautifully melted cheese with a nice hit of chilli. Trust me (and See Foot Eat Food), the croquetas are very, very tasty. 

While I'm recommending things to order, I should also mention that dessert was warm, sugared donuts with ice cream...and they were goooooood. 

I'm going to end there as I now have the hugest craving for croquetas and donuts...not on the same plate of course.
