Copita (Soho)

• I think we were lucky to get the seat as the place was quite busy
• The first thing we spied were the large glasses of what we thought was Vodka and tonic
• They have a huge variation on Gins with different flavours
• We opted for Haymand with White pepper and another with Cucumber (Hendricks)
• We should have really had wine to start with but we didn't
• The cheeses were fab as well as the jamon
• Hazelnut and turbot tempura with olive mayonnaise
• Copita (Soho) is a bit of a find
• I came here with a friend for dinner during the week
• We started with a gin and tonic
• Ginger/chilli' which was absolutely delicious
• T I've ever had with slices of fresh chilli and ginger in it
• Basil' which was lovely too
• A ham hock dish with cabbage and capers
• The ham fell away in beautiful pieces and was so beautifully seasoned
• We chose the churros with chocolate and went with the sweet red dessert wine that was recommended
• The service was excellent all night and there was a really nice buzz to the place
• If I'm ever faced with that childish desert island conundrum of 'if you only had to eat one type of food
• It's an extremely hidden restaurant which doesn't help itself with its inconspicuous facade that gives nothing away when walking past
• The moment i arrived i was quickly left in the capable hands of the staff who after helping to secure my a table outside
• Chorizo de bellota (acorn fed) was thinly sliced
• All this beautiful soft meat with a lingering smokiness and flavour which literally keeps you salivating will set you back £
• I'm always terribly let down by Spanish Croquettes stuffed with cheese and ham but here
• Perhaps the one slight let down of the meal was this smoked ham and smoked paprika dish
• The paprika helping was very enthusiastic and really got at the back of my throat with its choking heat
• The vegetable mash on the other hand was lovely and smooth
• My favourite dishes were the huge prawns and the wonderful lamb
• To start the evening off whilst we waited for our friends we tucked into an amazing cheeseboard with a serving of yummy honey
• The wine list here is pretty extensive with some fabulous wines available at around £
• Smoked anchovies and pork crackling are another must order
• My all time favourite is the octopus
• Pork jowl and lentils stew is warm and comforting
• The only dish so far that I have tried that I wasn't too keen on was the squash with duck yolk
• The rest of the menu is filled with tasty dishes
• I have fallen in love with their laid back
• Cuttlefish croquettes with aioli Running with the laid back theme of the food
• We followed up with yet more seafood ordering tiger prawns and an octopus dish
• The octopus was lovely and meaty and perfectly grilled and the creamy bed of potatoes was perfect for mopping up with their lovely rustic bread
• Make sure you order bread as there are loads of lovely juices in the dishes for it to be dipped in
• As was also the case with the absolutely enormous prawns
• These are served whole and you'll have to get stuck in with your hands to extract all the juicy meaty flesh inside
• I got through an awful lot of napkins but it was totally worth the effort
• Grilled octopus and tiger prawns with chilli and garlic butter Aft
• This one is the Michelin recommended restaurant and our initial plan was to go to an Italian restaurant
• Food came out pretty average with not so big portion
• I know it's tapas and they are not suppose to be big
• The restaurant is dimly lit with bulbs and has sufficient natural light coming in from the main entrance window panes
• That was fine as all dishes were really good
• Looked really beautiful as you can see in the picture with the bright yellow yolk
• The truffled goats cheese was just perfect
• The chilli garlic butter lit up the prawns and we managed to scrape clean the plate with our fingers
• It's not particularly a place you would bring clients for lunch meetings but it's definitely a good spot to catch up with former colleagues over no shop talk dates
• It's like a former colleague you got along with when you worked together you may not see them as much and you may have found new buddies at work
• An inconspicuous and small place with wooden cottage feel about the place
• You walk in and met with a light buzz of chitter chatter in the air
• You see food in Copita (Soho) is about sharing
• Delicate and beautiful dishes are served promptly and with a smile
• A lot of love has gone into their food and I wasn't disappointed with any of them
• With very reasonable prices it is certainly worth checking out
• Spanish tapas is a well established cuisine in the UK
• The imported knowledge from these trips makes us familiar with old favourites like pollo ajillo and patatas bravas
• Reliable Soho favourite with an ever changing menu of tasty tapas
• We headed over after the man holding the fort at Flat Iron told us there was a two hour wait for steak &ndash
