Best deal this week: Fine dining for $5 at Tempo Bistro

Tempo Bistro in Waltham prides itself on being an upscale, downtown-like eatery with reasonable prices, set in a suburban atmosphere. Located on the culinary strip that is Moody Street, this restaurant’s menu boasts the likes of pan-seared duck confit, racks of lamb, and seared yellowfin tuna – all items that scream “special occasion only” to me. However, Tempo’s not letting us economical eaters turn away just yet. The bistro offers what they call “$5 BARgains” everyday from 5 to 6:30 p.m. (except Sundays), at the bar only. Now, I can’t attest to how large the servings are, but for $5 you can gorge on items like Five Cheese Macaroni and Cheese, Mini Baked Brie Bites in Puff Pastry, Seared Limoncello Sea Scallops and Caribbean Spiced Chicken Tenders. Talk about fancy eating for under ten bucks.

Has anyone tried Tempo's $5 grub yet? I'm hoping to head over there in the next week or two to try it out...

  1. Best restaurant ever. I previously lived in Waltham and thought their prices were outrageous at first. After biting into their lamb shank (it was a special) and mac and cheese (always on the menu) I decided I would pay double if they asked me to.
