French restaurant in Reading

“Felt very welcomed and the staff were incredibly kind and had great customer service, the food was lovely. Would recommend”

“I had an amazing experience at The Botanist Reading as part of a team-building event! The food was outstanding - I started with the Hanging Kebabs with Halloumi Cheese, which was grilled to perfection, and the Hummus was creamy and delicious. For dessert, the Cookie Dough was rich and indulgent. The atmosphere was lively and relaxed, with great service. Highly recommend The Botanist Reading for a fun and memorable team-building event or dinner with friends!”

“Great meal. My girlfriend and I had a really lovely time in the morning having a full English breakfast. Nice big menu and you can customise pretty much anything you want even though the sign says you can't but the staff said you can which is a bonus.”

“Delicious Christmas lunch served by friendly happy staff in a very relaxed atmosphere. Great value for money. Very well done Henry Street.”

“Best wrap I've ever had in my entire life from a lovely family owned business. Generous amount of filling and very flavorsome. Will definitely order again when I next visit Reading.”

“This is my first time at TGI Fridays and I have to say it was a very pleasant experience, the food was priced perfectly and the portions were a good size as well. The staff here were very kind and helpful with everything, they also were very speedy with getting our food out. Food quality was very tasty and looked very appealing. I would definitely come back here again.”

“Great tasting authentic African dishes. I've been a few times and been impressed each time with the service and quality of the dishes.”

“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!”

“As great as ever! Been unlucky with timings recently - always best to check the website to make sure its open. The best coffee in Reading and really tasty food that arrives before you expect it! The owners are absolutely lovely, they really care about the people who visit, if I lived in Kennet Island I would definitely go every day it was open, 100% worth a detour to visit if you live remotely near Reading. :)”

“Great for lunch went and got a tikka wrap and sandwich. There were many options and was very reasonably priced”

“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.”

“A great place to stop and have a bite to eat.”

“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”
