"The menu of modern Chinese-Vietnamese dishes is relatively small for now, so you can near enough order the whole thing between two - with three or more people you could definitely do the whole lot. Particular highlights for us included the must-order crisp prawn toast coated in green chilli sauce and pickled daikon; the Nem Nướng pork skewers served with fresh herbs and dipping sauce; the braised aubergine with whipped tofu and wonton crackers;"
"Eric has opened Tempo in partnership with Dalston wine bar dan's, who have also taken care of the wine list. You can pick a bottle from the shelves to crack open at dinner, or go by the glass from the regularly-changing selection that's chalked up on the red wall in the kitchen. We had a lovely grower champagne, chilled Beaujolais, and finished with a sweet riesling."
"And now Eric has finally opened his first permanent restaurant, Tempo, in one of the railway arches on Paradise Row, Bethnal Green. He's done a great job on the space, which manages to be quite cosy despite the archway setting. There's sleek wood panelling and shelving stacked with wine bottles, a handful of big tables, and a large open kitchen with counter seating."
Tempo occupies a railway arch on Paradise Row, Bethnal Green, with sleek wood panelling, shelving of wine bottles, large communal tables, and an open kitchen with counter seating. The menu concentrates on modern Chinese–Vietnamese dishes and remains deliberately small so two diners can nearly order everything; larger groups can sample the full selection. Standout dishes include crisp prawn toast with green chilli and pickled daikon, Nem Nướng pork skewers, braised aubergine with whipped tofu, BBQ XL prawns with chilli-citrus glaze, Bánh Hỏi rice noodle rolls, and honey butter madeleines with Chantilly cream. Tempo partners with Dalston wine bar dan's for a rotating by-the-glass and bottle list. Address: 252 Paradise Row, London E2 9LE; tempo.restaurant.
