Pupa Restaurant in Manchester

Booked for an early evening meal before a concert at the AO Arena. Staff were very welcoming & super efficient, food service was prompt & everything we had was delicious. Great burgers with a gorgeous charcoal flavour. The atmosphere was really warm & friendly. Loved our visit & look forward to returning. Thank you to all at Pupa - loving your work!!

Excellent meal. Lovely cold Mythos, Mediterranean grilled meats, Greek salad. Lovely atmosphere and service, all superb.

The food was great, the waiting time was not long as the restaurant wasn't busy. The sizes were just right and the service was also good. Something the restaurant could improve on could be to add some sharper knives more suitable for cutting the meat. It was a great meal, I really recommend it.

I had an amazing time here last night. The customer service is attentive and the manager very kind. The food was brilliant. I could choose all three of my fave meats on one platter. That was available to me. The environment is very clean and bright. The food tastes perfect and I’d be coming again. There was no flaws to what I can see from other posts I read. The tiramisu’s were home made. The food is cooked from fresh not microwaved like in some places. So I think this restaurant deserves top marks. It was a really pleasant stay. Thank you for making it a wonderful night out.

The food was absolutely delicious! Starters and mains both excellent! Very good service too. Will definitely be coming back!

Went here with my girlfriend for early dinner before heading off to a local comedy show. The place is very nicely decorated with pleasant background music and the staff were very warm and friendly. We had a meat feast sharing dish with a couple of sides and salsa dip. It arrived in good time, was well presented and tasted delicious. Seemed quite good value for what we received. The toilets were clean and tidy.

Fantastic staff and more importantly it was the best burger i have ever tasted all my life . Its genuinly 10 out of 10 ... recomend everyone to try you would not be dissapoited

Love this place. Went with a friend to celebrate our joint birthdays in between Christmas and new year. Lovely cosy atmosphere and very friendly staff. We both had the lamb skewers which was delicious. Washed down a nice bottle of red. Will be back!

Had a delicious dinner. Everything from the kabobs to the steak was really good. Service was on point. Small and inviting place.

Had a great meal here.We will definitely be returning. Lots of yummy food .Staff great .Good atmosphere.. ...........

🎄 Delicious food, friendly and efficient staff. We had cocktails first, then the Grilled Halloumi and Blue Cheese Mushrooms starters, followed by lamb skewers and Greek salad, all lovely. The staff were attentive without pestering, and my latte was in a proper latte glass, rather than the cup that some places use! Altogether a relaxed experience 🎄

FABULOUS! Small cafe run by a young couple. Wonderful food, very pleasant atmosphere, great service, can’t recommend enough. GO!

Med cuisine tends to be our favourite and so whilst out shopping decided to give this place a go. I noticed the reviews it had were all 5* and that is fully justified. Lovely restaurant really nice ambience. The service was excellent with the staff being attentive without being over bearing. The food is excellent. We had the variety of dips as starters and the sharing meat platter for main and the meat was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend and will return

My partner and I from Canada were vacationing in England. On our last evening in Manchester we dined in Pupa restaurant in the Norther Quarter. It is an excellent restaurant. The food was very tasty and nicely presented. The owners very obliging and made time to talk to us even though they were having a busy evening. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Brilliant little hidden gem - the staff were so friendly, the food was AMAZING, and the ambience in the restaurant was really nice for a catch up with a friend. Also thought it was great value for money compared to other places, will definitely be back and already spreading the word!

Nice ambiance and decor, staff friendly, we went with the mixed grilled platter for 2 with 2 starters to get a feel for things, it was filling enough, and tasty, the Greek salad would have had traditional greeks cringing though as it was very small...
