Cherishing the Spanish culture of eating either standing up or on stools at bar level, Copita London creates an upbeat, relaxed environment that you don’t get in any old restaurant most of the time. In fact, Copita restaurant doesn’t feel too much like a restaurant at all, but just because it’s a bar environment doesn’t mean the food is secondary to the drink offering. Quite on the contrary, at Copita – excellently located on D’Arblay Street not too far from Oxford Circus Underground – food is a matter of life and death. The Copita London menu is constantly evolving with a particular focus on sourcing great ingredients and is one of our favourite tapas bars in Soho.

All of Copita’s wines are served by the glass, half bottle carafe and bottle. And Copita London love sherry too, that’s why they have 15 varieties by the glass to choose from as the most fantastic accompaniments to Spanish food. Of course, you can get a lovely cold beer too, a glass of quality cava, as well as a San Sebastian-style G&T and a host of other spirits including pacharan, Spanish liqueurs and a small selection of Spanish brandy. For a proper tapas restaurant in London there really is no better shout than Copita Soho.
