As a smokehouse and steak restaurant, Temper in The City know a thing or two about cooking a proper meaty lunch.

Boasting one of the world’s biggest fire pits, Temper also has its own mezzanine butchery where they work to order. Private dining is available along with cosy booths and stools at the counter to watch the chefs in action.

Temper City is hidden away, moments from Bank, Moorgate and Liverpool Street Stations, serving the best steak in the Square Mile. Home to the biggest smoker in the temper family, this is also the place you’ll find the biggest cuts of steak from rare-breed English cattle, aged and butchered in-house, then cooked over fire right in front of the dining counter.

The menu also features tacos, smoked meats, house-made parathas and more, alongside a punchy wine list and choice of tequila and mezcal-focused cocktails available both in the restaurant and out on the terrace.

    Temper offers a vibrant dining experience with a focus on flame-grilled meats and bold flavors. We enjoyed a lively early evening with great steak, expertly cooked with a smoky char and juicy tenderness. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, complementing the rich flavors of the food. The atmosphere was buzzing, with an open kitchen adding a sense of theater. Service was attentive. Overall, Temper is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy quality meats in a fun, energetic setting.

    We ordered the 700g porterhouse steak to share amongst 3, have to admit it seemed a little small (by Australian standards 😆). Think I could have eaten it by myself 🤭 but it was done very well. They didn't have quite a few cuts of meat disappointingly on the day we visited Service was great, all the wait staff were attentive (aside from missing some of our dessert orders) Nice place to meet up, sit and chat with friends (we stayed until closing time) it was a very comfortable environment.

    For average tasting steak, this restaurant was definitely on the expensive side. Because they sell the meat by weight, you aren’t sure how much it costs until the bill comes. A colleague recommended the burnt bits tacos but for steak, I think they are a pass for me!
