Reviews
Due to a severe storm and flight cancellation at the end of February, 2026, I was unexpectedly stuck at the hotel for several days. During this time, I had breakfast and dinner at Tempo for three consecutive days, and every single visit was excellent.
A special thank you to Lisa Sampson, Tracy Stymest, and Laura for their outstanding service. They were incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They not only provided exceptional dining service, but also helped direct me to local attractions so I could make the most of my stay in Halifax.
The food and drinks were amazing, and I really enjoyed the cuisine with local blends and unique flavors—some dishes featured combinations I had never tried before. It was a pleasure dining at Tempo each time, and the welcoming atmosphere made a stressful situation much more pleasant.
Highly recommended. I truly appreciate the entire team at Tempo for turning an unexpected stay into a memorable one.
Regarding the pad thai, i srsly think they need to change the recipe because:
1/ this ain’t pad Thai: this is just a noodle dish that has curry sauce in it.
2/ The curry sauce is tasteless.
Atmosphere is amazing! Service is super good!
Quiet, tasty, good service and not too expensive.
