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.

    Reviewed in May 2025 - I used to love this place, great service and food, but now they decided that all the beef needs to be halal, and this is completely unacceptable for a non-muslim. Forcing non Muslims to adhere to halal. If that's a strategy to attract more clients from the nearby Covent Garden area, I don't think it will work. Pity.

    Been coming here for a number of years and honestly it never let's down. Temper... a steakhouse you can trust...except its not just a steakhouse and everything is delicious. I always order the ribeye steak, it has never not been cooked to perfection. The softball crab tacos are also always ordered but this time I discovered a new favourite-pork belly tacos. Order it and thank me later. Special thanks to Gabi and Jack for warm service and good food. See you again soon.

    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
