The Temp as it's called by regulars and locals is pure Kensington Market.
The patio in the summer is a great place to stop for a cheap beer and casually run into friends on a Saturday shop.
I like it best in the winter though, when it's cold and the Temp is a warm, candle lit joint with bartenders that can carry a decent conversation.
Like most Kensington Market joints, the staff live in the market and hang out there as well.
The food is good for what it is, cheap. Pad Thai is okay, greasy breakfast, even better.
The service is up and down, but you don't go here for fine dinning or a quick meal. It's the charm baby, the charm that sucks you back in.
