Copita Del Mercado

D

The restaurant is very nice and cozy. I found staff to be attentive and knowledgeable. As most tapas restaurants in London are expensive (this is no exception) and often the dishes are overpriced for the size of the servings you receive; however, in terms of quality at Copita del Mercado I cannot complain. The octopus is delicious (this serving is quite generous) and all the other dishes I tasted were flawless. I was well looked after by the staff and the ambiance is somewhere between business formal and casual. I'll come back for more.

Outstanding tapas. It wasn't the traditional whitebait/calamari affair, but that was fine by us. Lamb neck was incredibly tender and we had some cod that was cooked to perfection. Wine recommendation was spot on. Dinner for two set us back £50 - good value for the quality

My wife and I visited Copita for a rare night out away from the baby, and I thought it was fantastic. The food wasn't traditional tapas, but that's fine - there are plenty of places you can go and get good meatballs, squid and patatas bravas. The G&T menu was a welcome novelty (I had a delicious and unusual chilli and ginger version), and the drinks came beautifully presented in a huge, ice-filled globe glass. The food was interested and delicious, good for both me (a veggie) and my wife (a meat eater). My wife, in particular, was spellbound by the lamb and apricot dish, and loved her char grilled octopus. I thought all my dishes were good, but the lentils were particularly tasty and rich. All rounded off with some crispy churros with rich chocolate sauce (which perhaps could have been a bit thicker, if I was being picky), and some excellent digestifs. I should add that the service was also excellent. We had a young Apanish guy waiting on our table and he was very attentive and helpful - more than happy to give an opinion on the best dishes and thr right drinks to go with them, etc. All in all, well worth a visit.
