temper is set to open its fourth London restaurant in Shoreditch in September 2022.
Situated on Great Eastern Street, the new site will encompass temper’s core concept of smoked meat.
The restaurant itself will be split level, with a cocktail bar on the ground floor and a basement restaurant with counter seating and tables.
Led by managing director Sam Lee, the Imbiba-backed temper has built its reputation as a barbecue restaurant which serves rare breeds and lesser-chosen cuts cooked over fire pits in an open kitchen, as well as tacos and smoky mezcal cocktails.
The Shoreditch site will follow the same concept, where chefs butcher and prepare food in front of guests, building on
the popular menu with additions of more experimental plates created just for Shoreditch.
One-off menu items included a smoked brisket, pit-roasted clam, anchovy, and beef fat mayonnaise taco, whole duck carnitas – a mix of duck meat, offal and crispy skin with pickled kumquats and fresh chillies, served on a homemade paratha and smoked rare-breed beef-rib with a sweet and sour Korean barbecue sauce, for two to share.
Sam Lee, managing director at temper said: “We are thrilled to be bringing the temper experience to Shoreditch. We’ve always felt that the area would make an ideal home for our fourth temper restaurant, and were so happy to find the perfect site, with space for our signature open kitchen and to launch our first temper cocktail bar.”
