Tempus Mezze - Adelaide (SA)

The food at this restaurant is excellent and the customer service is top-notch. I definitely plan on returning and wish I had discovered this place sooner. Peel Street is becoming the new must-visit destination.

Not long ago, we were excited to see the opening of this new European restaurant and bar on the popular Peel Street. The restaurant promotes indulging in Greed and Gluttony – the 2nd and 6th sins. Despite being unsure of what to expect, we decided to give it a try for dinner. I also heard that their desserts were a highlight, but we started with the dinner menu first.

I returned for cocktails on a Friday night and the table service was spot on. Unfortunately the kitchen doesn't open until 6pm so drinks and nibbles wasn't really an option. However, we were still there when the kitchen opened so a serve of truffle chips was in order to soak up the cocktails. Tasty. The food coming out looked good.

I first thought this place was named after two of New York’s avenues. But, no, this little upstairs-downstairs bar on Peel Street is named after the 2nd and 6th deadly sins: greed and gluttony. Sounds right up my alley, given I am a greedy and gluttonous wine monster.<br/ <br/ Although this one isn’t exclusively for those on a liquid diet, there’s also a European-inspired lunch and dinner menu. And one look at Instagram tells you you’re in for a treat, with some fancy looking dishes coming out of the kitchen. Probably no surprise given Michelin-starred chef Pierre Richez is at the hot plate. Although I might pass on the trio of escargot.

Amazing food! I dunno if anyone ever felt the same way, but to me it was those moment that when the food was SOOO GOOD that you just hope to meet the chefs in person and tell them how good the food was! From Entrees to Main courses and desserts, rarely found a restaurant that shares the same consistency and excels in all of them. Highly recommended x
