In the bustling heart of Covent Garden lies a restaurant that’s won a place in London’s culinary spotlight – Temper. With its unique concept of intertwining tender steaks and mouthwatering tacos, Temper presents a symphony of flavors that mirror both pulsating excitement and serene satisfaction. Walking into the intimacy of its low-lit space feels almost like entering a sacred meat shrine where skilled chefs wield their expertise with fun theatrical flair. The star of the show is undeniably the steak, cutting through the gamut of pleasure with its unparalleled tenderness and pitch-perfect sear. Fans vouching for its deliciousness mentioned they could tear strips apart with mere fingertips, rendering steak knives obsolete – indeed, a salute to the kitchen's persistence to perfection.

Beyond the palate-paralyzing proteins, the energy of the staff rises like a cheerful anthem harmonizing every diner's experience. They exude warmth, possess vast product knowledge, and on many occasions, subtly calibrate the evening’s tune by recommending an ideal array of entrées such as burnt ends tacos or truly decadent desserts. While some may discourse minor disturbances like the din of shared tables or pricing heftier for a larger crew, what's undeniable is Temper’s capacity to charm and persistently deliver a rich, encompassing epicurean exploration. Raise a glass – or perhaps one of their splendid margaritas – and let temper spirit you into a realm where ‘tacos’ and ‘steak’ dance jubilantly round the flame-kissed altar of indulgence.
