The Black Valais in Fylde

This was my third visit and I think it will be my last . The lunch menu is seriously limited as far as vegetarian options are concerned and HUGELY overpriced . A cheese toastie came with the biggest pile of crisps - half the plate - and a few leaves . No imagination , no colour . Portion sizes are often too big almost to compensate for lack of variety and imagination.

Lovely quirky cafe. Lovely friendly staff. Really great coffee! Good choice of food options.

Being local this is one of favourite places to go, we are aware they are "dog friendly". What was so disappointing yesterday is that for a small place there were THREE dogs in it and not under the table (which is meant to the rule)... One retriever was really large and would never have been anywhere near to fitting under the table. As I'm extremely allergic we left. I was ill after what should have been a pleasant start to the day. As our nieces are scared stiff of dogs it's also off our places to go list when we have them visit. Aside from the unhygienic matter of dogs around food, there's the fear factor for some and allergy factor for others. I know people with dogs think they are owed a living and treat them like humans.... But they're not human , they still lick their asses, they smell and their hair does shed..... All in places people are paying to eat!!! We won't be back.

The staff were very helpful and great customer service food was amazing and presented great !! Excellent staff!!! Will be returning every other week

We visited the restaurant this evening and cannot believe the restaurant is closing as our meal, and the service was faultless - every tapas was served hot and in a timely manner and the food was delicious. I want to wish the team every success and will follow the chain to their new restaurants in Preston… All the very best Fino Lytham - you were great - all the very best to the fabulous team in the future 😊
