Copita in City of London, Westminster

This place is fantastic! Loved meeting Grima. She welcomed us like family and gave us the best recommendations. Couldn’t find a bad bite in the place. Fantastic wine, too!!

Amazing experience. Great tapas inspired dishes. Cozy place and great service. Will definitely be back

I’ve tried a lot of tapas but the dishes here are by far the best! So many unique options to choose from and none of them disappoint! Service is so quick and the staff could not be lovelier, they genuinely seem to enjoy working here which is rare but so nice and makes the experience that much better. Couldn’t fault it at all!

This was my first time ever trying Tapas so I have nothing to compare it to but it was great, it was a really nice place with very friendly staff. The Mushroom croquettes and Sweet Potato Bravas were exceptional with a very nice wine. Will definitely be back.

I visited Copita with my sister a few weeks ago. We had such a lovely lunch! Everything we tried was delicious.

Very good Spanish restaurant…. The service is fantastic...Spanish beer and food, which is also appreciated after two days eating in London...

great food and service!! will definitely come back

Amazing service and food, great for groups

Update: We eat a lot of Tapas and have found recently that a lot of the places in London are just turning out the same stuff, conveyor belt style. Now not to say Copita does anything anywhere else doesn't do necessarily, but they definitely do it better than most of the other London joints. Excellent. Original: Food was fantastic and we had pretty much everything on the menu over a good session. Would drop half a star (if there was one) because the service wasn't perfect, though in their defence it was very busy. Will definitely go again and probably take the kids.

Perfect meal, perfect place to be especially when you’re super hungry. Grima who’s very friendly and accommodating gave us a very good service. You must put this restaurant in your must place to visit if you fancy a Spanish dinner. Grima will for sure take care of you and will make your dining experience unforgettable.

Fantastic food and wonderful service. I was greeted quickly upon arrival and water was provided immediately (a nice touch as I always like some water before I have wine.) The person serving me was friendly, smiling and very knowledgeable, helping with both my food and wine choices. The bread and olives arrived very quickly and then the other dishes came out at a comfortable pace. Ox Cheek: incredible! Wonderful depth of flavour, I could happily eaten much more of this! Chicken: boneless which was nice as it saves messing with the bones. Nicely cooked, skin was well seasoned and flavoursome but the other chicken needed a little more flavour (but was still very good!) Bread and olives: lovely Beetroot: nicely presented with a lovely mix of textures with the nuts giving a nice crunch. Cheesecake: beautiful, and the sorbet went perfectly with the indulgent chocolate The only downside is how limited space is here, seated very close to other guests and although I was comfortable it was a little tighter on space than I prefer. Highly recommended as the food and service was fantastic. Thank you :)

Food is really nice and our waiter Christian is so lovely and friendly! Really recommended this place for tapas. Will come again!

Fantastic restaurant in central Soho!

I come here every time I’m in London and it never fails to be one of my favorite meals. Tucked away on a side street with a small bar and chairs that line counter seating, the service is always friendly and well paced. There are regular dishes (garlic prawns, octopus, sweet potato patatas bravas) and some new ones each time (scallops, fish cakes) so you won’t get bored of the menu. I’ve never had something I didn’t enjoy or absolutely love. Excellent flavors, great for sharing tho very large groups wouldn’t do well here given the seating arrangements. Extensive (mostly) Spanish wine list. On a weekend night it can be loud and lively. On a rainy weekday it can be chill and relaxed. When it’s nice out you might be lucky to get one of the small tables outside and feel the energy of the neighborhood while you eat. All great ways to enjoy Copita.

In general the dishes were ok but not amazing; the grilled octopus and the squid ink rice were super salty and toggled the experience. Overpriced for dining, but if you want to go grab a drink with just a few tapas it might be a total different experience.

Excellent food! A bit noisy but that’s the ransom for success I guess!

This was a severe let-down after a lot of positive reviews. Weekday dinner - 1 person. Very noisy with completely indifferent bartender and waitress. They could not care less if I liked the food or not. The cauliflower dish was awful - large uncooked florets served in a small bowl almost impossible to eat. When I politely brought this up, it was met with a casual shrug by the waitress. No efforts to take the food back and bring a better version or refund the bill. The bar tender couldn't have been less enthusiastic about the wine. £60 for poor experience and mediocre food and wine. Yes, it's a weekday and I'm sure the staff had better places to be but do show a little professionalism! Will not visit again.

I was looking for "the best tapas in London" and happened upon Copita. I was going for dinner & drinks with a coworker for an early Friday 'post work' get together and this exceeded all of the expectations I had for the evening. Every dish we had was exceptional. The star of the show was the Mushroom Croquettes and the Iberia pork, blew our minds! We wanted to split of bottle of wine but didn't know the menu and the server was so lovely and helpful. She guided us towards a moderately priced bottle that we loved it so much we took a picture of the label! All the tables are counters with high top stools and it's got a very informal feel, but the food makes it feel formal with how delicious it all is. Highly recommend checking out.

Classic spanish tapas bar, which I usually go to when I want a drink and a light snack. I had some delicious pimientos de padrón and the always lovely Alhambra especial beer. Efficient and nice service, and nice prices too.

I didn't want to go to a Spanish bar but it is irresistible

Shout out to Christan! Amazing service, amazing food. Espectacular.

Absolutely amazing food 😍 great service and many vegan options

Lovely food and atmosphere but they left a bit of a bad taste in your mouth when you paid. They added a service charge to the bill yet produced the pay machine asking for a tip. Meaning we ended up leaving a double tips. So don’t forget to check the bill before you pay!

We had a lovely birthday night at Copita yesterday. Great food and drinks, cosy and vibrant atmosphere, and excellent service. Thank you to Vanessa, Marisa, Michelle and David, and all the Copita's team.

Love the vibe. Foods are authentic:)

The seafood wasn’t fresh. The prawn was brunt. The octopus tasted really bad. Looks good but tastes bad 🇨🇳no lie to 🇨🇳 📰🍽️

The best tapas i had in a long time. Everything from the pimientos to the black ink rice and the tomato carpaccio with capers was fantastic! Wine menu is great as well (we went for the Pago Florentino which combined perfectly with the food). If i was living in London, i would be a regular!

The food here was absolutely stunning. As was the wine. It's quite 1 loud place though. Customers tend to shout quite a bit so you can't hear yourselves speak.

Maybe the best octopus I’ve had this year! Croquettes, Jamon, chorizo all great. Super friendly service, lively atmosphere, amazing selection of wines by wine, carafe or bottle. Definitely worth a visit

This place is absolutely amazing! Everything is great.

Not worth it Mid quality food at a high price The only good dish was the pork, the rest was very MEH Service was fine, atmosphere pretty dead

omg all food are tooooooo salty

Absolutely one of the best! Food was soo delicious I didn’t want to leave! We celebrated our anniversary in May there, and service was amazing, very attentive , friendly. Loved it! Thanks guys! We will be back.

Inaccurate closing time. Last order 9.45pm Food is impeccable though. One of the best meals in london

Came her for a few birthday drinks and was pleasantly surprised to see that it’s a Michelin star restaurant! Great drink selection. We also got a few nibbles to eat; highly recommend the mushroom croquettes, so rich and creamy with a perfectly crispy exterior. We also got their burnt milk ice cream (divine), pear crumble (lovely and crunchy) and the burnt aubergine. The burnt aubergine wasn’t my favourite as I wasn’t a fan of the texture. All in all, would recommend and can’t wait to visit again!

Amazing pork. Great croquettes, scallops and octopus. Recommend

Amazing food served with a huge smile by Christian.....

Beware - lovely food and lovely service. All great until you pay the bill. This in itself it reasonably priced and 12.5% service added, however when the card machine arrives it asks how much tip you want to give - so something like 5%, 10% 15% or 'No Tip'. This seems solely there to catch people out if they haven't noticed the service charge. The only way to avoid adding a second tip is to say 'no tip', when clearly you have actually already paid one. Very sharp practice and I wonder what the staff actually receive?

I went to Copita on a first date. I can only comment on one food item - the patatas bravas - and one glass of wine. The wine selection is lovely and the organic wine I had was wonderful. The patatas were sweet potatoes which is not how the typical dish is served. Personally I didn’t like it at all, as I was not expecting, nor did I want, a sweet potato. However, it’s a personal preference. I docked several stars because the staff were acting very erratically. They pressured us to get a food item, despite the restaurant being packed and clearly it was not a slow night for them. When I first tried to get a drink, they did not ask my date what she wanted. That was pretty bizarre. After they pressured us to get food, they were not attentive. It was just weird behavior and I definitely didn’t feel welcomed.

There aren't many people there at noon, but it's often full in the evening. The Spanish food is delicious, it's a relaxing place to eat and drink, and it's a very comfortable place. Average price in Soho, not expensive. recommend!

Late night dinner with kitchen closing in 5 minutes. Well worth the rush and the money . I rarely give out 10/10 but this restaurant has to be one of the best in London. I recommend anyone to come and get the Jamon it’s heaven .

Please give this Spanish restaurant a chance if you go to SOHO! Super delicious🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 The Iberian pig 🐖 is particularly excellent The cuttlefish rice and Churros are also above the standard. The service is also quite good and the space is quite comfortable. Had the best meal in London

The restaurant has an easy-going atmosphere and the staff's cheerful service is impressive. The food is all delicious and suitable for both a hearty meal and a light snack.

The most amazing food, perfectly made and good servings too! Service is quick and authentic. Best tapas in London !

Amazing food and even better service. We have been back for large group events multiple times and we have left happy and full each time. For central London the place is quite spacious and the staff are very friendly and accomodating. The variety of tapas and the quality of food is top notch. Definitely recommended!

The positives: great buzzy atmosphere & friendly service. Negatives: Sorry to say the food was really awful. We ordered 6 tapas dishes and then stopped even though we were both still hungry. The taste and quality was a huge disappointment. Sorry to say we wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend.

Really nice tapas spot, loved the food and service, very attentive

We’ve been here about 4 times now and it never disappoints. The food is exceptional, everything is so well thought out and delicious. Our favourites are the burnt aubergine and ajo blanco. The service has always been excellent, even at busy times and the atmosphere is wonderful, always so warm and busy yet homely.

Lively restaurant with well rounded tapas menu. Attentive service with good recommendations. Book ahead as this place is very busy.

overall: decent tapas, not the best value atmosphere: went on a thursday evening, it was quite loud in the restaurant nicer dishes: mushroom croquettes, beef onglet revisit? maybe

A Spanish restaurant worth trying. Although there is no Spanish Paella, many other meals are great. The braised beef cheeks, cuttlefish risotto and desserts in the photo are all great. If you don’t know before ordering What to order, if you don’t understand the menu, you can follow their IG, which has photos and names of each meal, which will be much more convenient. is a high-quality tapas restaurant featuring authentic Spanish flavors. The restaurant has a Spanish-style decoration, from the crema catalana-toned tiles to the hanging Iberian ham, giving people a strong Spanish atmosphere as soon as they enter the door. The menu here is carefully designed with top quality ingredients and changes with the seasons. Recommended dishes include black squid crepe, grilled octopus with crushed peas and sobrasada, and the rich Andalusian chickpea and spinach stew​)​. In addition, the restaurant offers a variety of Spanish wines, including sherry and wine that can be ordered by the glass, perfect for pairing with tapas. Copita's environment is lively and welcoming, perfect for gatherings with friends or a date. If you come alone, it is recommended to sit on a high stool by the window to enjoy the food and watch the street view. Overall, this is a good place to have a meal, especially for those who love Spanish food and atmosphere.

Do not recommend. Horrible unauthentic, overpriced Spanish food and disappointing service. If you understand anything about food or Spanish cuisine you'll want to avoid this place and go somewhere else. Simply a central London tourist trap/low quality restaurant. £6 per prawn is simply unacceptable

As a Spaniard, I’m confident to say that this is a great place for tapas. The product is good quality, the receipts are well balanced and the service was perfect 💯

I almost don’t want to review this place because it feels like London’s best kept secret. Copita is absolutely my favourite restaurant in London. My wife and I have been coming here for a couple years and the food, service, and vibe are never anything short of exceptional. The sign of a really good restaurant is when you leave, you aren’t just full, you’re nourished and fulfilled. That’s how Copita makes me feel after every meal. I can’t believe how reasonable the prices are considering the quality and location.

The menu looks promising but the depth of taste simply isn't there for something at this price point.

Authentic tapas bar and dog friendly !

Decent service, but uninspiring food. Copita offers a fair variety of spanish cuisine dishes on their alluring menu but unfortunately most of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salinated for our preference. The portions are on the smaller side given the prices on the menu. Service staff were great and attentive. Definitely the highlight of our visit. Recommend: Beef onglet, King Prawns, Red wine (all were great) Avoid: Sourdough olives, black rice While overall the experience was positive, there are better alternatives in soho. For a filling meal expect to spend £30-40 per person

Delicious tapas, great wine and a wonderful atmosphere. Great selection of sherry too. The pea tahini was a highlight. Would highly recommend.

This place serves the best tapas in town! Delicious food and awesome service!

If you want traditional authentic tapas, go to this place. Food, waters, location - everything is a 10/10

If christian Takes care of you. Your evening will be fantastic

Amazing tapas with lots of variety for everyone. We had the mushroom croquetas, jamon croquetas, patatas bravas, artichoke, and chicken . Everything tasted incredible, make sure to try the croquetas and chicken which were my fav. Great service too!

Best tapas restaurant of London

Christian and Marta were great, very attentive and food was lovely

Christian hosted us amazing for the whole evening, he was very friendly and attentive. Food and drink was fantastic.

We got given a table right at the back so service was not great -had to fight to order anything and one of the waiters couldnt understand our order at all. Very small plates so we ended up ordering 8-9 (rather than the recommended 2-3/pp)..wine mark up far too high for the quality and we tried several. Disappointing, as barrica and the other copita were fantastic but I won’t be returning here.

The food was absolutely delicious, charming space aswell

Ordered food. Was expecting the glass of wine and snack. One waitress on phone, guy behind bar faffing around. Pour a glass of wine for me. 10 minutes. Your food looked great but serve me please, kind request and get the waiting staff to know how dishes come out. I left, I'm not going to beg for a glass of wine.

Great place! The quality and taste of the food were incredible! The octopus was one of our favorites!! The staff was very friendly and helped us with the food selection! We highly recommend it!

Awesome Spanish food! We were a large party. We litterally had every single item from the menu to keep them coming. The staff was incredible and the food was exceptional. The “croquetas de jamon” and the “jamon iberico de bellotas” were the best of the bunch. Don’t miss the desserts, they are great too!

Great service! And amazing dinner

Interesting place in Soho, mix Spanish English food

Lovely authentic place. Only disappointment was seeing the battered peppers were no longer on the menu. Other than that it’s top!

Stefanie was great! Really incredible knowledge and kindness around ensuring we get allergy info right. Nice food, lovely wine, delightful service

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Delicious food and super warm and vibrant atmosphere. Great price too. A small hidden gem in the heart of Soho, perfect for catching up with friends after work.

I have visited Copita several times, and I have to say the last time I have been there I noticed much higher prices, lower food quality and less nice staff. The food is good but too expensive for small tapas

Great tapas, generous portions, delcious tasty plates from the set menu (large group). Lovely restaurant and buzzy atmosphere.

Excellent wine, Artichoke blanco dish was incredible definitely recommend! Friendly staff and always on hand

loved everything, especially the steak!!

incredible food, every dish was unique, so much flavour we ordered 3 each and still left wishing we got a few more, all agreed the aubergine was the best one, beautifully presented as well hopefully be back soon!

We had lunch at Copita Fitzrovia yesterday and loved it. The team were lovely and very accommodating for a walk in lunch. The food was delicious - highly recommend the pan con tomate. We also had the seafood dishes which were lovely. We'll be back. Thank you!.

Genial. El servicio fenomenal y la comida estaba muy buena. Me he sentido como en España.

They know we are travel here, they charged service fee and tax. We stay in London for 9 days, only this place charged extra, Our friends said they should not do this.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! Amazing sangrias & selection of wines- not to forget the tasty and fresh tapas. Staff is super friendly and happy to provide recommendations when needed.

The food at Copita was phenomenal, however the service was quite horrible. After being in the restaurant for approximately an hour and a half we were told we were going to have to leave as the next party needed to be seated at our table. We were actively eating and drinking a bottle of wine. I had shared with the server that we had only recently received our food, and my comment was completely dismissed. We were planning to order dessert/another bottle of wine had we not been asked to leave our table. This is especially disappointing seeing as Copita serves Spanish tapas, and this type of treatment could not go more against Spanish culture. Would not recommend eating here unless you are comfortable with eating and leaving quickly.

Lovely vibe, good warm ambiance & service is lovely. Food is good, not traditional Spanish food but they take Spanish inspiration to make fancier plates. They were really good, 4/5. The scallops were a bit overcooked but the aubergine & sweet potato bravas were standouts. The service was great. Good staple place to go for a quick bite & a catch up

Buen lugar para probar el ambiente español en Londres, staff muy amable y con detalles que hacen la experiencia encantadora, espero volver pronto,

Fantastic food, would highly recommend

quite lovely tapas and casual atmosphere. the mushroom croquettes were by far the best. they were the perfect texture and the filling was tasty and not overly creamy. the truffled goat cheese was also wonderful, but definitely a dish for sharing as the truffle gets a tad overpowering by the end. the ox cheek had great flavor and the potato purée was smooth and decadent. however, the squid unfortunately felt more like a rice dish given the ratio of rice to squid. the cauliflower also would have benefited from a bit more seasoning to better complement the wonderful sauce.

I recently dined at Copita, a Spanish restaurant in London, and was delighted by their delectable tapas-style dishes. The Serrano ham paired with homemade bread, olives, and olive oil was a flavorful start, showcasing the finest, freshest ingredients. The artichoke and cauliflower dishes were equally delightful, but the ox cheek dish left me slightly disappointed due to an excess of fat and limited meat content. However, the exceptional wine selection and the warm, friendly staff added to the overall enjoyable dining experience.

The place is fine; just a word of warning there is very little on the menu that is suitable for people with a nut allergy and the allergens aren’t well signposted. Basically everything on the menu is cooked in peanut oil. We ended up just getting a cheese board and a bottle of wine and going somewhere else.

Tapas españolas para sentirse como en casa 😉

Authentique bodega atmosphere with friendly staff who don't mind answering in Spanish when spoken to in Spanish rather than English! 😉

Un lugar mágico donde disfrutar por las recónditas calles del boulevard de Soho.. Con comida típica española por referencia, cabe destacar las espectaculares croquetas de boletus con las que os chupareis los dedos. La carrillera que se deshacía en la boca, y su jamón de bellota que te transportará a España nada más probarlo. Por último y por ello no menos importante, destacar el personal, cercano y maravilloso, todos ellos excelentes personas, Julio nos hizo sentir como en casa, volveremos seguro, gracias!

The last time I went there I had to wait for a long time to get my food and my drinks. at one point the waitress completely forgot about my order. The first time I went was better, the atmosphere was still nice

Best place in soho for dining or just having a drink. Great atmosphere and excellent service! Definitely a must go in London!!

Cozy restaurant with great tapas! All staff were very welcoming and friendly :)

The ox cheek, the overall food, lovely hostess, great value for money. Loved it! Thank you for such a lovely night

Ok to be fair I don’t think I really like Spanish food - or maybe that’s after visiting this place. Either way - the wine was none too exciting to start with, the rosé tasted like vinegar, the tempranillo was acid, no bouquet full bodied. The staff were overwhelmed and to top it off there was a banshee with an Australian accent who sounded like she was let out of her cage for the first time in a generation. PS: the lamb rump was way too rare in parts, if you’re bringing it in bloody, some advance notice is appreciated.

Super Spanish tapas...good range of options served at high tables.. benches really, so unless you have a party of ten, you'll need to share the space. One table was very loud when I went, which spoilt my experience a little..maybe I wanted to join them!! Food was tasty, mix of sizes..so I suggest you order 3 each... Staff were attentive and friendly. A must visit restaurant.
