The take
The Take
The Vibe
Temper City presents a confident, fire-forward personality that sits firmly in the City’s younger, more casual dining tier. The room centers on live-fire cooking — open pits, whole-animal butchery and visible cooking — which gives the place a visceral, tactile energy. Service orbits a counter-driven format that pulls a brisk lunchtime crowd and a destination evening set who prefer something less formal than the Square Mile’s traditional dining rooms. The overall impression is warm and immediate: a modern take on American pit tradition calibrated for London’s commercial heart.
Best For
Temper works best for people who want fast, energetic lunches and destination dinners in the City. It is well suited to midday workers looking for quick, counter-service energy and to groups or couples seeking a more visceral, informal night out away from hushed, expense-account rooms. The format favors shared, meat-forward plates and convivial eating, so it fits business lunches, after-work meals and celebratory dinners where the mood is lively and the food is the focal point rather than formal pomp.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the live-fire cooking and shareable cuts: the menu’s signature steak cuts and whole-animal approach reward communal ordering. Try the standout steaks (Picanha, Porterhouse, Rib-eye) and the more casual options like steak tacos or pork rib flatbread for a mix of textures. If you visit on a Sunday, the Three Beast Feast roast is explicitly noted as a feature and suits a group. Given the counter energy and open kitchen, expect dishes to be served with immediacy and plan to share plates rather than ordering alone.
Venue details
Ambiance
Open kitchen with visible fire-pit, casual yet sophisticated atmosphere with dangling lacquered birds smoking above the fire and huge slabs of prime ribs on the griddle, backed by a classic 90s rock soundtrack.

Restaurant context
How Temper - City compares in London
Jang Restaurant and Kaia are better choices when the meal needs to be cuisine-led and more deliberate. Temper - City is the easier recommendation when the priority is a lively City setting, bar seating, a booking that does not need heavy planning.
The Otherist is the closer alternative for an after-work, social brief. Pick The Otherist when drinks and ambience drive the night; pick Temper - City when food needs to sit at the centre without making the evening formal.
Piazza Italiana is the safer option for a more conventional sit-down meal, especially with guests who prefer a quieter, more familiar format. Malibu Kitchen is better for mixed preferences and a lighter brief. Temper - City makes sense when counter energy and City convenience matter more than ceremony.
