French cuisine restaurant in Reading

“Pleasant brunch in comfortable surroundings. Highly recommended.”

“Have had breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner at the hotel restaurant and all were lovely. The staff at Frimley are simply the best, fun and friendly, big shout out to Matthew who was an amazing bar man on our first night and waiter when we dined and really made our stay great! For dinner, I ordered from the Indian menu, the prawn starter was so yummy and plenty of them. I had the chicken tikka masala for main and it tasted so authentic and lots of it! My husband had the ribeye steak for his main and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I honestly don’t know what people are complaining about, I’ve had the best experience in this restaurant all weekend!”

“A fantastic dinner from start to finish! The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere is wonderfully cozy. I definitely recommend this place ♥️”

“Fantastic food and wine. Absolutely loved at the experience and will definitely be back if we're ever in the area. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something a cut above.”

“As a Persian, I really enjoyed the food, it was authentic, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“We were visiting the area for the weekend celebrating 50th birthday. La Table D'Alix was a salivating experience which we really enjoyed. A lovely warm welcome by the restaurant owners Antoine and their staff. Very helpful and informative on the menus and ingredients. En attendant - Freshly baked bread buns with local butter. Saucisson, a generous sliced cured meat with hazelnuts and gherkins. Tasted very nice and was good whilst the chef prepared and cooked our order. I ordered a Raspberry Cosmopolitan which was served with an orange peel lighted then served in the cocktail to release the orange zest aroma. Starters - Cheese soufflé, soft tasty and Cheesy and the accompanying sauce was delicious. Sea scallops, tender, went beautifully with the pancetta and celery micro greens. Mains - Cod, again tender soft and flaky, curry sauce not overpowering, very nice flavour. Hunters Chicken, tenderly cooked and moist with flavourful olive tapenade and basil, the kale was seasoned well and crisp. The Romanesco nicely charred. Desserts - Tarte tartin, sweet pastry with caramelised fruit. Chocolat surprise, oh my word this was soo good! A Chocolate mouse that had a praline biscuit base that resembled maltesers flavour, the mouse was gorgeous and I loved the caramelised crispy zest decorated on top which gave the dessert a hint of sweet lemons. The Staff pleasantly surprised by adding a sparkler candle to my husband's dessert and singing Happy Birthday which was really thoughtful, kind and made the occasion special. Thank you so much! :-) Wines - Upon asking the restaurant owner advice on wines, I had a glass of white wine which was light and fragrant. It accompanied the chicken very well. I also had a dessert wine which was again light, softly sweet and fragrant. We have dined at a few Mitchelin restaurants and this has been an overall very pleasant experience. The Bill was in my view very reasonable for fine dining. I liked that the owner's family participated in the dining experience and it reminded me of time spent in France dining with family and friends. Thank you.”

“Nice place fairly large. Had a pizza it was quite large and very good.”

“We visited to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was our first visit following recommendations from friends and it did not disappoint! The photo does not do it justice! The food (and wine) from start to finish was delicious. Such an amazing menu with so much to choice. The staff were also so helpful and friendly. The restaurant itself is also beautifully designed. A really enjoyable experience! I would highly recommend. We will definitely be visiting again.”

“The quantity of food was impressive. None of our party finished. Quality was good as well. Service friendly and efficient. Parking outside the pub was ok on the road. The pub parking was tight.”

“Amazing food, always friendly service, I go to a lot of cafes in the area but I can honestly say that Mortimers do the best breakfasts for miles around and the latte's are pretty lush too.”

“Good food. Reasonable prices. Friendly people. Lovely!!”

“Simon & Jason are celebrating 20 years since they opened the Wellington Arms & it's packed every day when open with regulars & new 'word of mouth' clients. 10 out of 10 for quality of food, service, atmosphere & beautiful garden & surroundings. Great menu & daily dishes that made it difficult to choose. I had the 2xbaked cheese souffle stacked with a mountain of finely grated parmesan & my friend had scallops (both simply the best) followed by perfectly cooked calves liver on a bed of mashed potato & leeks with pancetta & perfect mix of herbs then their home-made ice cream.”

“Our favourite restaurant in Camberley for all special occasions. The food is delicious, of excellent quality and although not cheap, great value for money. My daughter loves the special bread and cheese which comes as a complimentary starter. All lamb and chicken dishes which we tried many times were amazing. My go to dessert is baklava and a Turkish coffee to finish. Really good menu has something for everyone and drinks are good too. Service and atmosphere are smooth and pleasant and contribute to always a first class experience.”

“Very delicious handmade dumplings (momo) with fried rice, the price is reasonable and affordable. Clean and tidy Nepalese restaurant in central Reading. Like all Nepaleses, staff are SSSuper friendly and humble. Take a bit time to prepare the food but it tastes absolutely local Nepalese style. Highly recommended. ⭐️x10”

“Thank you very much Franco and his team for helping me set up a surprise birthday meal at the weekend. It was easy to organise with the deposit, pre ordering the food and they help set up all the decorations for me. The food was brilliant and served in a timely manner. Great service. Thank you :)”

“Such delicious food, incredible service and exciting menu! Highly recommend!!”

“We recently held a staff meal for 24 people at The Bladebone, and it was an outstanding experience! The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, displaying exceptional service and attention to detail. The food was phenomenal—definitely the best I've had in a long time from a public house. Each dish was prepared with care and tasted delicious, showcasing the quality and creativity of the kitchen. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making our event truly memorable. Highly recommend The Bladebone for any occasion!”

“Excellent Chef table experience. It is not only food and drink. Gettign to talk to the staff was an amazing experience. The food was delicious. I opted for a diary and meat free menu. Every dish was amazing. Every bite was full of flavour. In terms of drinks, I normally only drink water with lunch. This time, I went for the mocktail pairing. I loved all of them, sugar free, creative and full of new flavours.”

“The food here was excellent as always. Starters were prompt, and delicious, I had cheese souffle, my husband had a duo of pate, both were a good size. The main was course was also fantastic, chicken with a pernod sauce, and my husband had venison. We really should have stopped there as we were actually full, but sight of tarte tatin on the desert menu tempted us. It was delicious, but I couldn't finish it, such was the size of the portions. We also had a bottle of house Merlot which was very good. Service was prompt and polite, it really is a delightful treat to eat at Pierre Victoire!”

“If you like remote and dog friendly, this is ideal. Google maps took us down some country lanes and over a single way bridge, on the map the pub shows pretty much on an island surrounded by country parks & lakes. The location is nice. Car park has about 30 spaces & I think 2 electric car chargers. The pub was pretty quiet when we arrived and the locals/staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The pub itself has a lovely interior. To the food, we had the vegan burger, bacon and cheese burger and the childs fish goujons. All very nice and well portioned. For dessert we had the rhubarb crumble with vanilla and vegan ice cream, finished off the meal perfectly.”

“Simple but great sushi, noodle and rice options with a good range of proteins including tofu steak. We went with a salmon sushi platter which didn't disappointed; a couple of chicken ramen and a chicken katsudon - all were simply great. Their homemade chilli oil is exceptional and should be used sparingly! Nice team. Go support.”

“Excellent seafood pasta, almost felt like the best I’ve ever had.”

“Really nice, authentic Chinese and Cantonese cuisine served at this restaurant throughout the day. Tea sets are also authentic and served like typical cha chaan tengs.”

“Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. We had a two year old who wouldn’t stay put, and the staff were so nice and helpful. And the place is stunning!”

“Yes, it is very safe place for dine in for families. Staff are very nice. There is a disable toilet in the restaurant. Free parking is available behind the restaurant. We had koftae kebab with turkish bread and chips. It was tasty and freshly grilled.”

“The beef shin potatoes was one of a kind a really special dish. The duck egg chorizo was right there with it. Best breakfast in reading hands down!”

“Phoned for a reservation and advised food served from 6 pm. Got a very warm welcome from staff. Shown to table. As well as menu's given, there is a great selection of specials on a blackboard that is brought to table. We had main courses, desserts and coffee afterwards. The food was excellent and ate it all. When I asked if we could have cream with our coffee instead of milk - no problem. We had a nice relaxed evening in a lovely homely pub and our stomachs were full. Well recommend a visit to all. 8th February 2020 - under new management Got a very warm welcome and noticed new decor. Food was FANTASTIC and took photos. Look forward to next visit.”

“Lovely little brunch. We had the croque monsieur and a savoyarde galette with a cappucino. We will 100% be back. What a little gem of a place.”

“Came here today for Mother’s Day, the food is authentic and tastes like home, true Mauritian food. If you are looking for authenticity then this is the place to be. Everyone was very welcoming and polite. Even the decor makes you feel as if you are back home. 10/10. Would 100% recommend the noodles.”
