Considering this was in a pretty touristy street of Dusseldorf, I thought La Copa did try to serve…read moreauthentic Spanish tapas (yes, Spanish tapas in Germany). The menu was in both Spanish and English, and they serve an assortment of cheeses, hams, and small plates.
The small plates were all very good; however, my friends said that the serrano ham was not as "melt in your mouth" as it actually is in Spain, and I'll take their word for it. It was pretty thinly cut, and very well seasoned though. There were also several other hams to choose from. I normally don't like jalapenos, but their roasted jalapenos with salt were extremely palatable -- dare I say delicious?! Somehow, the spiciness had also been removed. I also don't normally eat anchovies, but the fried anchovies with aioli were gorgeous. I'd definitely recommend both those dishes.
Since these were all small plates, the bill was pretty reasonable (for Europe at least), although I was pretty hungry about four hours later. The service was great and we were well attended to. When you want your check, keep in mind that you have to flag down the waiters, or they'll let you take your time. All in all, I was quite satisfied with this meal and pleasantly surprised by some of the dishes.
