I used Tempo three times whilst staying at the Barrington. At night for beer as I was too late to get a meal because train was in late,. Good beer, helpful staff. But not the greatest of ambiences for a bar. Second, breakfast. Great staff, great service, with a smile and chat and great Eggs Benedict..with added bacon! Third time for a lunchtime sandwich before going to the airport. Same great service and helpful staff.
We ate here recently while staying at the Barrington. We each had the grab and go deal. It comes with a breakfast sandwich, hash browns and a drink. It was hot, fresh and tasted good. The service was terrific too. Very convenient and a great deal.
My sister and I had breakfast there. I had the oatmeal with maple cream and rhubarb as well as some pan fried potatoes. They were very tasty. My sister enjoyed what she had. They have a variety of gluten-free treats as well. The oat cakes were delicious. I’d give them five stars but their cappuccino machine was broken for two days and they close way too early for a restaurant attached to a hotel.
My mother and I used to visit here for our lunch dates and we always would get the fish tacos. We went recently and the tacos were really bland are just tasted like lettuce. I wonder if they changed something because of COVID?

Fantastic service - thanks Lisa - with a great recommendation for the lunch special. The chicken tacos and house salad sounded like a safe choice - but the flavours were much more than expected. Definitely a great place for a light bite.
I'm glad after two years (covid) the full service restaurant has reopened. I like the atmosphere here as it's pretty big, with basic comfortable tables & booths, lots of natural lighting. Mostly new staff, all friendly and attentive. I had the avocado toast last week, which was simple and good. I can't finish the carafe of coffee that they bring, but some people would love that they'd definitely get their caffeine fix for the morning. Parking validated if you use the hotel lot. I'll be back here regularly.
This place is now open again after a 2 year shut down. On my very first business trip to Halifax is 2 years, i went there for breakfast. It was always my go to place. Was so happy to see that Lisa was still there and her old self. I always feel right at home in this restaurant and the food is amazing. Must mention the food... A must for anyone going to Halifax as far as i am concerned. Thx for getting through the challenge of the pandemic Tempo and may you all bounce back and thrive in 2022.
I had a very unpleasant experience at Tempo Food and Drink. I ordered a Sausage and egg sandwich with home fries and 1 Bubly. The egg was a microwaveable egg pattie and it tasted like burnt rubber. The sausage was cut into half and then into eighths then a half was put on. The Home fries were store bought and were less home and more Store. The home fries were the only good part of the meal. The bubly was 3 dollars. I could buy a 12 pack of bubly for 1 dollar more.
The staff here were also fantastic.
