temper Covent Garden is always a good time. It’s got the largest terrace in the group and serves rare breed English steaks, which have been aged and butchered in-house, tacos and its famous bottomless brunch every Saturday. The restaurant is split over two levels, with an open kitchen on the ground floor where our chefs cook tacos, smoked meat parathas and deep-dish cookies over a fire pit and in a giant wood oven, plus a bar mixing Margaritas and pouring out shots of mezcal.

Downstairs you’ll find The Den, a semi-private sanctuary with leather booths, perfect for large groups.

Please note we currently do not accept Open Table dining cheques.

    Yummy food, beautiful space and good drinks. We loved everything we tried. Only negatives are it is quite pricey for a big group and the shared tables are quite noisy.

    Food never disappoints at temper but this occasion I had the most tender steak I’ve ever had it was stunning, tacos and tostadas were also delicious.

    Temper has returned to its essence: steaks and tacos to the fore. The exquisite, hedonistic abundance of truly delicious tacos are irresistible. The classics are there, and some mighty big hitters from the past make a reappearance. The steaks follow with that perfect sear, thoughtful resting and their unctuous perfections. Lois cooked our 1kg porterhouse...I torn a strip apart with the lightness of touch of my fingertips... rendering the steak knife unnecessary. Stunning. My guests described the meal as the greatest of their life, I agreed. Phenomenal stuff indeed. Thank you Team Temper.

    My third time eating here and it’s my favourite steak / bbq place in London now. It’s not stupidly priced or claiming to be something it’s not like some steakhouses…classy without being pretentious I would say. They also do other bbq dishes and tacos as well as some incredibly tasty pre-starter snacks (try the beef fat dipped cornbread and pork belly bites 🤤). Our waitress was, and the staff in general are, very attentive and friendly and the place is well run, I’ve never waited a long time for food here. It was also my sister’s birthday and they brought a dessert dish for her with a candle without me having to ask, I had just put it was a birthday on the booking. All in all, I can’t fault it…I also stumbled upon a deal they had on for a steak frites which I believe must be a weekdays at lunch deal for around the £22.50 mark. This was no ordinary steak frites, it was a massive juicy rib eye…bravo….bravo 👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙
