Our Story
Over time, Tupac has become a meeting point for friends, neighbours and travellers, a space where the energy of Berlin meets the warmth and richness of Latin America.
Our drinks list brings together natural wines, classic cocktails and Latin‑inspired creations. We like wines with character, stories and a sense of place, chosen to complement the dishes and to invite discovery.
The Team
Tupac brings seasonal Latin American cuisine, natural wine, and good music to the heart of Berlin. It is owned by David Raphael Pollack (Dave), a San Francisco native who grew up in restaurants, sang in hardcore punk bands, and now runs the international music agency Destiny Tourbooking.
In the kitchen, Peruvian chef Ariel Peralia brings a rebellious, constantly evolving style shaped in kitchens across Latin America, including Virgilio Martínez’s Central. Together, Dave and Ariel keep Tupac free-spirited, authentic, and always in motion.
