Steakhouse
Mediterranean style cuisine serving freshly cooked meat and veg over our pine wood charcoal grill. Juicy steaks, loaded burgers, marinated chicken and lamb, and fresh fish.

You can find all this in Northern Quarter, Manchester, only a few min walk from the iconic Arndale Centre.

Family run restaurant with homely, warm atmosphere. If you're lucky you may even be able to catch the owner around the restaurant floor and you might want to know that he is also the head chef. But be careful! He does love to have a bit of a chat :)

    The food was fantastic, service outstanding and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant! I'm really glad I decided to eat at Pupa and didn't go for a chain restaurant. I highly recommend Pupa and will definitely go back next time I'm in Manchester!

    The sharer’s grill were amazing however, the calamari was bland. We fell in love with the blueberry cheesecake, not too sweet and taste was fantastic. All the staff were brilliant though the place were average and not instagrammable.

    Went on a Sunday evening and it was clearly busy downstairs, less so up on the ground floor. Despite being busy the service was excellent. Couldn’t do enough for us and the food was amazing as always. The Mediterranean Platter is divine. Brilliant place. 10/10

    Fantastic food. We had the meat platter and a couple of burgers. All very flavourful and succulent! Quite pricey but didn’t mind as the standard of food was excellent. The staff could have been more attentive though, as we had to ask a couple of times for tap water and to get the bill at the end. Overall though very good.

    Bruschetta with mushroon starter; The bread was 3" by 1.5" approximately! Mushrooms probaby from a jar and not fresh. Sauce nice. Tasty but ingredients not up to scratch. Main course; Expensive lamb kebabs. Meat overcooked. Salad accompaniment sparse. Dessert: Cheescake and ice cream. Very good. Waitress excellent. I won't be back as I can get this standard of food cheaper (assuming I want to eat it!).

    Hidden gem, tucked away in a Norther Quarter back street this little restaurant serves a reasonably priced selection of some of the tastiest Mediterranean food you’ll find anywhere in Manchester. Well worth a visit but book ahead as they welcome walk in bookings and it fills up quickly

    Very nice evening meal. Smaller area, cosy, on main floor. Table not that big, but big enough for what we had. Croquet starter was fabulous. Steak was done nicely. Goid value. Go try it.
