C. M.

Delicious food and a fun atmosphere! The staff were great, had such a good time here!

E. V.

All the dishes we tried were divine & the staff were so attending and kind. I’d recommend the lamb & calamari 😍

G. F.

Comfortable and delightful dining. Excellent staff. Again, excellent staff - the owner and his staff were all attentive, respectfully pleasant, and super efficient. DELICIOUS menu; had the Chorizo mezze with flat bread and dips, and for mains, Harissa Pulled Chicken and Pumpkin, and Whitebait with sauce. Should actually be six and a half stars!

M. J.

Wonderful hidden gem well worthy of a visit. We found Tempus by accident and tempted to have a mezze lunch we were surprised to find the menu is Greek mezze. NO matter, we decided to try and loved it. Service was impeccable: friendly, warm and informative. Wine list was minimal but very well curated. And the food was an absolute delight, the eggplant balls were the standout of a great selection of foods. Very good value for money, we will definitely be returning.

E. R.

After being blown away by the knowledge and passion of the food and wine, we happily let Damian feed us. The food was incredible and the wine delectable. A five star experience with service to match! We’ll be back!

B. A.

Absolutely outstanding. From the family recipes to the exceptional and very personalised service, Tempus Mezze is a must visit Adelaide restaurant in the heart of one of the cities most beautiful and funky streets. Loved every minute of our visit 👏

K. L.

Great experience overall!! Food was delicious, especially the spinach and fetta balls. The peaches & cream cocktail was good, but i wasn’t too fond of the tough love one.

L. M.

Absolutely incredible servers and service. The restaurant had a beautiful atmosphere and the food was delicious, especially the oysters!! Would happily recommend and return any time 5 star for sure!

A. S.

Food and selections of wine is excellent, great service. Well priced. Highly recommended.

C. S.

Incredible friendly service, we had such a fun time here. The food was fantastic, great tapas. Thank you!

K. C.

Really enjoyable night, had the feed menu (for three) and loved it. Would've been good if they could have told us at the start how many courses to expect, so we could pace ourselves.

M. B.

So glad we found this place. Delicious food and fantastic service. That 'make yourself at home' service is hard to come by – I think he enjoyed serving us the food as much as we enjoyed eating it! Great wine list too. We will definitely be back and will bring all our friends!

P. C.

Damian goes above and beyond to ensure that you'll enjoy your visit. Food is truly fantastic with a home-cooked feel, and drinks are well thought out and delicious. I will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area.

G. L.

Wonderful food. Very accommodating for gluten free and dairy free and vegetarian. Lovely friendly service. A very warm home atmosphere.

B. B.

I love this place. From the moment we considered stopping, the service was outstanding; attentive but not pushy. Our waiter was friendly and was able to provide information about the menu including popular dishes, recent additions and the origins of the food (all made by his wife). The atmosphere is relaxed but a really lovely night out for a date. The food is delicious. Full of flavour and comes to the table hot and fresh. Absolutely would dine here again and again and again!!

J. L.

We went in a table for 4 - we ordered 3 appetizers and the meat platter. Appetizers came in 3, they were able to add on extras with charge. The appetizers were fantastic, Really worth it. The meater platter was good too but really loved the appetizers.

D. B.

Excellent food at decent prices and amazing, friendly service! I had the trio of dips and olives as a starter and the slow-cooked lamb for the main. All were excellent but the stand-out was the lamb, the meat was so soft and the potatoes were very crisp. The staff were very friendly and made sure our water was topped up which was very welcome on a hot summer's day! My wife and I will definitely go back when we're back in Adelaide.

P. S. C.

Delicious food and excellent service. If you are an oyster lover, I highly recommend the mixed oyster plate! Thank you Damian for excellent hospitality!

A. K.

Honestly the hottest upcoming bar in Adelaide! Was super busy when we went but luckily we had booked a table- we were greeted as soon as we walked in and we were already super thank full for the refreshing air con. The cocktails were crazy good, couldn’t fault any of them (just about tried them all) and the food was absolutely out of this world. The waiter recommended the pickled mussels which we weren’t sure about but he brought them out on the house and boy were our minds blown! If you haven’t been you need to stop reading reviews and hurry up and book in!!

a. m.

We had the most fantastic evening at Tempus. The food was delicious, great atmosphere and excellent wine recommendations. Very helpful and friendly staff; I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. We’ll definitely be back !!

S. S.

We had the feed me option Saturday night & it was wonderful! Each course was delicious. Dessert in particular was amazing! Delivered by the chef himself & involved a glass done, smoke & a story. I've never had a feed me dessert like it! The barman and 2 waitresses were exceptional. So efficient & friendly. Can't fault it

E. B.

Beautiful atmosphere, lovely staff and great food and drinks. 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a place to just have a drink or planning on date night. Thank you Tempus for a beautiful experience.

T. D.

Had such a lovely evening at Tempus Mezze Bar, with delicious food, great cocktails and above and beyond service. It was my friend’s birthday, and you were so lovely to help me surprise her with a delicious dessert and bday love! Thankyou so much! The fetta balls were delicious, the calamari was a winner and I had the Christmas (can’t remember the exact name) cocktail but it was so good! Thankyou for your incredible service and a fantastic night. I’ll be back! Tess

P. M.

Excellent food, superb and friendly service and cocktails to make your tastebuds sing. Definitely recommend it. Can we rate it 7 out of 5 stars? It's that good

A. J.

Food was Fantastic chef did an amazing job and was nice having them come out and explain the dishes to us. Only issue would have been when a few people came in the service dropped. We would definitely go back.

E. B.

Great customer service and fresh delicious food! Wine list is very good too. Cool place to have couple drinks with friends :-)

W. W.

We had a great time here recently. Just sat in the upstairs area having a good time. The place was clean and just had such a great vibe. Drinks were well made and served quickly. Will 100% be back next time

J. I.

Extraordinary service and very nice staff. The food was very nice and the desert was amazing. We had the 'Satanical Garden' and oh my gosh. The presentation was absolutely incredible not to mention it tasted amazing. We'll definitely be back!

H. F.

Did the “feed me” menu with a friend as a first visit and we couldn’t have had a better time. Lovely and helpful service, and the haloumi was hand made on site from a recipe by the Mum of the lady who served us. The duck was exceptional, crispy, salty and juicy in all the right places and there was so much food we got nowhere close to finishing it all - and we like to eat! The edible garden desert was a total delight, pop rocks and all. Money well spent, beautiful attentive service. Perfect place for a long lingering dinner with an old friend. Well done guys. Very proud of the Adelaide dining scene.

K. T.

We weren’t able to get drinks due to timing but a waitress came out and offered us all water! This was such nice gesture and looking forward to booking this bar for an event in future ❤️

J.

Found this little place almost by accident. And was Very pleasantly surprised!! Great tapas style food, generous sizes. Lovely staff and very cool interior! GET THE SECRET GARDEN! It was amazing!!

H. v. R.

Visited on a Tuesday night. Lovely cosy setting, great atmosphere and beautiful food. I took one star off because of the limited choice of tapas. The menu listed about 10 dishes, of which 2 were unavailable. Of the 3 desserts listed only 1 was available. Also the coffee machine was out of order.

O.

Came here on a quiet Sunday for lunch and everything on the menu sounds delicious. We ordered several plates to share and also dessert and we were not disappointed. So much flavour and the dishes looked so beautiful.

W. W.

This is the best Restaurant in Adelaide. I have been to a lot and this is just amazing

F. M.

Dessert, excellent. Mains, good. Service, search and find. Overall, I'd try it again. We were seated upstairs and seriously, had to go and ask for service. Waiting staff unfamiliar with menu specials.

F. C.

Excellent dinner here. Not sure the scallops wrapped in prosciutto had any prosciutto, but they were beautiful all the same. And the pork belly was gorgeous. Highly recommended.

S. T.

Food was excellent but unfortunately the service was dire. We ordered the tasting menu around 745pm and our mains only arrived around 1015pm. We had to ask multiple times about our food, weren't even offered compensation. It's a massive pity that a place that does great food is let down by the poor service.

A. C.

We grabbed some cocktails and sat outside on Peel St. It was a nice patio and fun to people watch; a little bit of an older 20s to 30s (and up) scene which was nice for chatting in a more low-key environment.

G. L.

Food is average. Drinks are good. Staff are pleasant. Location might be the key here, sitting outside, within the whole Peel vibe is great.

T. P.

Nice place with friendly and attentive staff. Had a late dinner here, white bait was toasty crisp. Beef was a great medium rare colour but texture was on the dry side.

T. S.

Amazing food, fantastic service. My new favourite place.

P. S.

Our party of four were there at the opening of biz today with Jac. Blown away that some hours later we returned for a night cap and remembered our drinks. Prop Damien is a generous host too. #MyAdelaide #BalconyLife

J. Z.

have not try the wine or the beer but the dessert is amazing ! the dessert chef is super creative. do remember the dessert here is really big. we cant finish it between 4 people ... so please bring more people in to share

T. C.

We had a very nice evening with creative interesting and tasty meals. Service was just right. The venue was friendly and intimate.

T. K.

Wow! Amazing food and service. The chef put together an amazing vegetarian pasta just for me and it was the best pasta I'd ever tasted. The rest of the menu looked great for meat eaters and non-meat eaters alike, and the chef is very accommodating. Dessert was out of this world! Amazing chocolate popcorn and macarons! I should have taken more photos but I couldn't wait another minute to tuck in! Also, would definitely recommend the house gin, so good! 👏👏👏👏

C. M.

Tappas style servings, big (2people) or small. Small but sensible range of choices. Creatively presented which is always nice. Good and contrasting flavour and texture combinations. Deserts were really impressive, not normally a desert person, they surprised and amused the senses. Was a party of 4, 4 large Tappas and 2 deserts was plenty for us. Good beverage list but no juices, a mocktail was offered. It's a worthy player in the Adelaide City food scene, a little high in the pricing, but had much worse for less and felt dudded, walked out of here happy.

J. B.

Great atmosphere and amazing food, staff were very good.

H. L.

Great food!! The scallops were so incredibly tender - they just like melted in my mouth! Polenta bites were super nice with crispy outside and soft centre. Boneless chicken wings were super delicious too. The desserts were the main attraction for the night: delicious matcha slice!! And the bonsai tree... 🤤🤤🤤

S. B.

I've been here twice and both times I've been blown away by the tastes and presentation. It's also a nice place to sit and enjoy a decent coffee if you're not up to trying something from their exquisite menu.

D. O.

Great food great service.

A. T.

The first night we made reservations for was a little busy with only one server/bartender. Poor guy said 2 others called out. He was slammed and we felt bad so decided to come a few days later. Service was great! Food was pretty good and interesting. We love espresso martinis and got the spiced espresso martini. We saw it had rum instead of the normal vodka. We both didn’t like the drink at all... Rum is not our thing but figured we’d give it a try. We got a salad with house made halloumi cheese which was kinda different. Scallops were pretty good but not too exciting. The pear Gorgonzola was pretty good but I’m not a fan of Gorgonzola much so I squeezed a lot of it out. The fish was amazing! That was our favorite dish. And for desert the satanic garden was cute with little grape bunnies! Very cute but was just ok flavor wise.

R.

Great wee place, staff very friendly and great memory (few days between visits and remember our drinks). And the menu is great, covers all tastes

j.

Amazing food and service. Staff are awesome here. Menu is creative and stunning but very expensive. Easy to get carried away with ordering.

D. G.

Wait staff were half the charm to this delightfully hidden gem. Quaint and warm. Chef constantly changing up deserts to keep things interesting!

S. L.

Tasty food, some what smallish serving sizes, trendy decor, the $9 fried haloumi entree was great, steak and baramundi was nice, too many japalonos, give the whitloaf and weird beer glasses a miss.

A. S.

2nd & 6th has a cosy atmosphere with friendly and accommodating staff. Each item on the menu is designed to be shared. They have a very interesting modern approach with an emphasis on the fine details (which really shows in the desserts). If it's not very busy, a chef will kindly come describe the meals. The 'Garden of Eden' dessert has tiny bunnies hand crafted from grapes amidst the fully edible garden. Even below the chocolate soil surface there are surprises that make it an experience to remember.

L. A.

Great atmosphere and service. Great staff, especially Cath and Jackie who were super friendly and recommended amazing food and drinks!

A. H.

Excellent services and great atmosphere but the food was at Bar Food level at best. Beef Wellington was over cooked, was served like medium well. Duck breast was lacking a bit of flavour and slow cooked pork belly could have been better. Platting needs improvement as well. So overall, for me it is more like Bar Food but priced as restaurant food. Also, the poached pear dessert we ordered, not really what I would expect from a restaurant level. Also could use better ice cream for the toping. Felt like the ice cream is the generic supermarket ice cream.

A. V. H. A.

Brilliant cocktails from some very talented and entertaining bartenders, top spot

S. C.

Great little cosy bar. We stopped past for a quick drink on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Well worth a look

R. N. T.

Good place to go to for drinks and desserts have not yet tried their mains but will do in the comming future.

M. “. P.

Absolutely fantastic. My mother and I have a predominantly vegetarian diet and this was the best variety and most delicious vegetarian tapas we had in Adelaide. The dishes you see in the photos are the Zucchini Flowers, Halloumi and Watermelon salad and Satanical Garden dessert, we also had the Baked Chevre. While all of the dishes were delicious, our favourite was definitely the Zucchini Flowers with the homemade ricotta. The dessert was delicious but very rich , we shared the dessert and had to leave a little bit behind because we were full. The reisling was also very nice.

D. C.

Eclectic and delicious sharing dishes. Service was friendly, quick and helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

A. O.

Best service and friendliest waiting staff. Honestly food still got room for improvement. Nevertheless the setting and ambience is wonderful!

L. S.

Chef Gunawan perfectly express taste and creation on his masterpieces. The shop change dessert menu weekly so you never get bored here.

(Translated) 🧁 "2nd&6th" 🍩 Occasionally discovered Adelaide's treasure tasting store When I was shopping, I accidentally passed the store and looked inside. There was a feeling that I must go in, so I went in and tried it. I didn't expect it to be too surprising! Spend an afternoon of a quiet dessert time. 🍃[Environment] The decor in this store is really too beautiful! The design inside the store is also specially stamped! Retro wooden handrails and door frames, dark green overall tone and art also have an atmosphere. Rarely meet restaurants and creative dessert shops with good taste and good environment. Sitting in the store in the late autumn afternoon, drinking coffee and snacks. If you put on a red dress and take pictures inside, you must be bombed! ! 🍰【Taste】 The desserts in the store are particularly varied, and my favorite is the matcha cake. Matcha is particularly rich in flavor, and the entrance is silky and it falls in one bite. The level is not too greasy. I said that I have to drool, and next time I bring my little sister to monopolize the matcha cake in the store! ! ! ! The second must-have dessert is the “secret garden”, which is oversized. It can be used for four people. The “soil”, “flowers and grasses” inside can be eaten, not decoration! After introducing the food to the environment, the main event is Chef Chef, a small fresh meat dessert chef. I am a lovely Indonesian overseas Chinese. I am drunk without drinking. (Original) 🧁“2nd&6th”🍩 偶然发现阿德莱德一家宝藏甜品店 逛街的时候偶然路过了这家店，往里面望了望，就有种我一定要进去的感觉，于是就随缘进去试试。没想到太让人惊喜了！度过了一个下午的安静甜品时光。 🍃【环境】 这家店内的装潢真的太美太爱了！店内的设计也特别戳！复古的木质扶手和门框，墨绿色的整体色调文艺也有情调。很少能遇到味道又好，环境又满意的餐厅和创意甜品店，深秋的下午坐在店内，喝着咖啡和小食，如果再穿上一件红裙子在里面拍照一定美炸了！！ 🍰【味道】 店内的甜品特别多样，我最爱的就是抹茶蛋糕。抹茶味特别浓郁，入口丝滑，一口就沦陷。层次丰富一点都不腻。说着我都要流口水了，下次再带上我的小姐妹要把店内的抹茶蛋糕全部垄断！！！！第二必点的甜品是“秘密花园”分量超大，大概可以供四位，里面的“土壤”“花花草草”都是可以吃的，不是装饰而已！ 推介完食物以环境，重头戏就在小鲜肉甜品主厨Chef Gunawa ，是位可爱的印尼华侨，没喝酒我都醉了❤️❤️❤️
