Our Lounge

Fino Lounge is on a great spot in the heart of Whitchurch Village in Cardiff. With full-width windows that open right up and a sprinkling of tables on the terrace along the front, we’re perfect for people-watching on the Merthyr Road. We have a deceptively big, open-plan space stretching across our two floors inside, where we’re proud to serve a fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus) in a really warm, relaxed atmosphere.

With entertainment for Little Loungers, treats for canine pals, a wide range of events and daily deals, take a trip to Fino Lounge and we’ll look after you.

Home From Home

In the heart of Whitchurch’s community, Fino Lounge serves food and drink all day, every day in a relaxed, comfortable environment. The site used to be a Blockbuster video store, but after a wobbly moment, we decided against “Video Lounge” as our name! Instead, we went with Fino, which has two meanings. It means 'till' in Italian, and is also the name of a dry sherry.
