Kopapa

Excellent food, had a selection of the small and large plates from a very interesting menu, each dish excelled. Service was excellent. Highly recommend the double fried blue cheese starter and the cod main.

I had been looking forward to going to the Kopapa restaurant for so long! I finally ventured out to Soho for breakfast there this morning with clients and what a disappointment. The waitress forgot almost all of the fresh juices, just ordering a glass of water took 20 minutes and even then I had to remind the staff. It wasn’t a busy service either and we were only a table of six. The dishes arrived at different times so some had finished eating by the time others had just started. And the worst of it, the poached eggs were over cooked. The easiest dish a restaurant can serve. I brought this up to the waitress which was obviously pointless as it wasn’t even taken in to account by the end of our meal. For a chef of his calibre, this is not what I expected from a Peter Gordan venue. Kopapa is no match for Providores and I won’t be returning.

I went with high hopes as Providores is reliable. I left disappointed. The menu sounds great but the savoury waffles (chilli?) were a bit dry. There were mixed reactions from the group we were with - a bit hit and miss depending on what you order.

Great food with an original menu, which I enjoyed reading. The ricotta cakes were delicious! It was a shame we were ignored by the staff the entire time having to ask a few times before getting some water or the bill at the end. I will be back though to try the chilli & onion waffles & hope the staff are more attentive next time.

Had fantastic lunch at kopapa, there were six of us and we mixed up the dishes, could not have been better, too good for lunch was the general consensus, we will be back for dinner

v nice vegetarian choice

I thought the staff were friendly and attentive. However the food wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be - really average and the coffee was burnt. The restaurant itself has been overstuffed with tables and chairs so it's hard to move around, plus the noise levels are unbelievable - you can hardly hear what anyone is saying.

According to their website 'Kopapa is a totally unique dining experience in Seven Dials'. What they mean is unique as in probably the worst experience of your life. Actually the food was very good, sadly completely ruined by 'service' that bore no resemblance to the term (20 minutes before anyone came to table, four tries to order a lime and soda, water that never arrived (other than on the bill) despite four goes at asking, 30 minutes between starters and mains ON A PRE THEATRE menu!!!)- probably because the staff were busy chatting to each other. Their response to our complaint 'we're a new restaurant' - was unbelievable! if you are thinking of going there - don't, there are better restaurants.

I've had multiple visits to Kopapa over the Christmas period, starting because nothing else was open but returned twice because the food is great, the coffee spectacular and the service charming and swift. Gorgeous food, though it is pricey. Brunch is a better bet if you are on a budget, most portions are fairly generous. Fabulous food for jaded palates
