As a smokehouse and steak restaurant, Temper in Covent Garden know a thing or two about cooking a proper meaty Roast and decadent Bottomless Brunch.

Known for meat, mezcal, tacos and good vibes, Temper is centred around a giant fire pit, with a mix of counter dining to watch the chefs in action and leather booths for feasting.

Meat is bought in from English farms, aged in-house then butchered by their team and cooked over fire, served in corn tacos or on house-made parathas.

There’s also a legendary Saturday bottomless brunch on offer, plus space for big groups and special occasions.

temper Covent Garden is all about in-house butchered meats, steaks and traditional corn tacos. Situated on Mercer Walk, it’s a great lunch and pre-theatre location, with a spacious outdoor terrace to enjoy them on.

    Lovely dinner on a weeknight here. Excellent food, great choice of drinks and delicious sides as well. We enjoyed a rib eye and a sirloin steak to share between 3 people in addition to two servings of chips and a cabbage dish. Highly recommend the cabbage and chips were also cooked well. Also recommend the cookie for dessert. Bill was on the pricier side but service was great and we enjoyed everything we ordered so would recommend and would return

    What an amazing experience. From being greeted at the door by Sam and then the Chefs invest their time in discussing all things food too. I had the Greatest Hits and the cabbage side. Everything cooked to perfection over wood fire 🔥 If you go to London, this is a must try. 👌🏻

    Tasty Tacos, Tiny Portions, and Temper-amental Prices My recent visit to Temper was a mixed bag. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a lovely layout and inviting lighting. We were initially overlooked, but once we moved closer to the other entrance, a senior waitress promptly greeted us. The tacos were our main reason for visiting, but at £14 for two portions, the size was shockingly small. Picture this: tacos smaller than your hand! While the prawn and steak frites tacos were incredibly delicious, the initial disappointment lingered. The fries were also excellent. Having already spent £40 and still hungry, I decided to try the taco platter. Thankfully, an in-passing waitress informed us about Taco Tuesday, bringing the price down from £30 to £15 – a saving grace and a testament to good customer service. However, the platter tacos (cheeseburger, goats cheese, and burnt ends) were a letdown. They lacked authenticity and the goats cheese was simply unpleasant. I appreciate culinary creativity, but these missed the mark. Overall, Temper offers tasty food, but the portions are small and the prices are high. The prawn tacos were a standout, but the overall experience was dampened by the size and cost. The service was efficient but lacked warmth – a common issue with "transactional" British customer service. While I was tempted to try their steaks, the taco experience has unfortunately discouraged me from returning
