Tempero

Tempero brings the vibrant flavours of South and Central America to Karangahape Road in an intimate, energetic space that is as stylish as it is welcoming. Owners Tiffany Low and chef Fabio Bernardini have created a restaurant that seamlessly blends Latin American traditions with exceptional New Zealand produce, delivering bold, exciting dishes designed for sharing. Having honed his craft at world-renowned restaurants including Auckland's The Grove and Mr Morris, as well as Michelin-starred destinations overseas, Fabio's cooking is confident, creative and full of flavour. Start with the irresistible pão de queijo, crisp on the outside with gloriously cheesy centres, before moving on to the outstanding lamb tacos, packed with punchy, vibrant flavours. The carefully curated wine list compliments the menu beautifully, while the inventive Latin-inspired cocktails are reason enough to linger a little longer. With thoughtful options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diners, Tempero is a standout destination for adventurous, flavour-driven dining in Auckland.
