Tempus Restaurant

Full of movers and shakers from the City Centre and beyond, Tempus is a grand place to do deals or celebrate afterwards, to woo and to win. Set within the newly-refurbished and most impressive hotel, The Met, Tempus offers a sophisticated, modern space in which to enjoy terrific food and wine. The room is updated traditional, with dove gray paneled walls, modern works of art, soothing neutral upholstery, and all the grace of beautifully-dressed tables. The menu is updated traditional, too, with dishes like starter of fan, rose, and tian of melon with a honey, raspberry and mint fondue, main course of fillet of sole meuniere with baby capers, lemon, shallots and parsley, and witty dessert of Mars bar mousse, soft fruits and chocolate pencils. Tempus also boasts the finest cheese in the county, which they serve on irresistible fruit chutney, raisin and pecan bread. Short but wide-ranging wine list with depth in the New World labels.
