About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Tempo is a new-wave Asian eatery and wine bar set beneath the railway arches in Bethnal Green. The menu reflects Chef Eric Wan’s Chinese-Vietnamese heritage - bold, punchy plates designed for sharing, cooked in our open kitchen with a seasonal, flavour-led approach.

Wine sits at the centre of the table. Curated by Dan Long, Isobel McFadden and Olivia Corrigan, the list moves from easy drinking to more adventurous bottles, alongside a rotating by-the-glass selection. Tell us what you’re in the mood for - we’ll take it from there.

Relaxed yet considered.
Settle in and move at your own tempo.
