About Tempora Restaurante
Tempora sits in Marbella's old town on Tetuán, a small restaurant where the owner takes wine seriously—he'll walk you through what's on offer before you order by the glass, which already tells you something about the approach here. The kitchen sends out dishes that reviewers describe as 'new and original' without trying too hard: lamb wellington, sea bass with champagne sauce, tuna tartare, chicken Kiev, pork tenderloin specials. One reviewer came back 4 nights in a row and got surprised each time. The service lands harder than the food—staff write your dog's name on the water bowl, the head waiter (Sabi, mentioned repeatedly) talks to you like you're a person, not a table number. It's the kind of place where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in, where attention to detail shows in both the plating and the conversation. No standing at a bar, no quick bites—this is a sit-down restaurant that treats dinner like it matters.
What Stands Out
Service that actually sees you
Reviewers repeatedly mention the head waiter's warmth and attention: 'The head waiter talked to us like human beings, he wrote our dogs name on the water bowl, which was special.' Multiple mentions of Sabi's care and the staff's 'kindness' and 'friendly' approach.
Wine list that doesn't play it safe
'The owner Makes you try the variety of wines first and then let you make your choice rather than bringing the regular wine by the glass.' Described as 'Probably the best vine by the glass selection' across multiple reviews.
Kitchen that executes without playing it obvious
'The food tried to be new and original and actually it was.' Specific dishes praised: lamb wellington ('couldn't recommended it more'), sea bass with champagne sauce, tuna tartare ('mistrzostwo świata'), chicken Kiev, pork tenderloin. Desserts called 'espectaculares' and 'outstanding creme brûlée.'
