Copita Soho is a lively Spanish tapas bar on D'Arblay Street, where the emphasis is on sharing food and drink in an upbeat, sociable setting. Open since 2011, it captures the informal rhythm of Spain’s neighbourhood bars, welcoming diners for a full meal as readily as a quick plate and a glass at the counter.
The kitchen works with seasonal ingredients and changes its specials weekly or even daily. Small plates span vegetables, seafood and meat, with dishes such as croquettes, bravas, grilled seafood and Iberian pork illustrating a menu designed to be combined across the table rather than ordered as separate courses.
Wine is an equally important part of the experience. The list is entirely Spanish, and most bottles are also offered by the glass or carafe, making it practical to explore different regions alongside several rounds of food. A broad sherry selection provides another natural match for the salty, savoury character of tapas.
The compact bar level room suits spontaneous drinks, relaxed lunches and evenings built around shared plates. Guests can also stop in for a Spanish style gin and tonic, while group bookings and private hire extend the restaurant’s convivial approach to larger gatherings.
