Mexican · Shoreditch
Temper City is a buzzy basement barbecue restaurant in the heart of the City, built around an open kitchen where everything is cooked over fire and smoke — the portions are generous, the flavours bold, and the quality consistently high. It's a genuinely atmospheric spot that works well for families, with highchairs available and step-free buggy access making it straightforward to navigate; there's also some outdoor space if you fancy a bit of fresh air. Bear in mind there's no dedicated children's menu or baby-changing facilities, but the sharing-style plates mean little ones can easily try a bit of everything.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
