Le Cafe Restaurant in Reading

Estaba buscando un asesor de viaje para restaurantes locales, no planeaba comer aquí, pero una vez que di un paseo por el hotel y leí los menús tailandeses que ofrecían, me convenció.Fui por la opción 2 y la comida estaba impecable.Recomendaría comer aquí si estás en la zona. Muy buena comida y servicio también.

You can include breakfast with your stay. We had breakfast here almost every day. It was a good variety and the food was good

Food was pretty good and tasty when it came, but... service terrible (slow and non attentive with misplaced orders). On the upside there’s not much competition in the area...

Food was amazing (I had duck). Service was slow especially given how quiet it was but I believe they were navigating the first night of a new menu. Heard three different tables complaining mostly about slow service but a vegetarian near me also said she just got a plate of cold pasta which was flavourless. I paid and left and a lady came running after me that thought I hadn't paid. This would have been prevented if I'd been served by the same person but there were so many serving me in their own way that she hadn't noticed someone else bring me the bill (who I'm sure was trying to hurry me off as I'd already said I'll go up and and pay when I'm done).

El hotel y el restaurante estaban muy ocupados debido a que hubo un partido de rugby irlandés en Londres y celebraciones del día de la calle Patrick, sin embargo esto no fue un problema para Cathal Leonard y su excelente equipo en el restaurante.Nos saludó calurosamente Charlie, quien nos mostró nuestra mesa, explicó las opciones de menú y brindó un servicio atento.La comida era deliciosa y el chef estaba cortando y sirviendo las carnes y más que encantado de proporcionarle porciones importantes, si fuera necesario.El ambiente y el ambiente dentro del restaurante también fue muy agradable.Muy recomendable

Used the restaurant whilst staying in the hotel. Food and service were very good with friendly staff and a good menu to choose from.

Very pleasant, willing serving staff, the food arrived in a timely fashion, helpings were generous, and everything was well prepared. Decent range of reasonably priced wines too. What's not to like?

Food nothing special, would avoid pate. Chicken tikka was nice but runny. Staff were very polite and attentive

Me estaba quedando en el hotel y decidí comer aquí ya que no quería salir. El personal era muy agradable y acogedor y el menú era interesante para un restaurante de hotel, con una buena selección de comidas vegetarianas para elegir y un muy buen conjunto de menús tailandeses para elegir. Desafortunadamente, ninguno era vegetariano (aunque ofrecían una ensalada de fideos tailandeses) y pensé que era una verdadera lástima. Lo que decepcionó al restaurante fue la velocidad del servicio. No estaba especialmente ocupado, pero todo parecía tardar tanto en llegar. ¡Estoy seguro de que no fue solo la cocina porque esperé 15 minutos para que mi vino viniera! La comida, cuando llegó, estaba bien, pero nada especial. Volvería a comer aquí si estuviera alojado en el hotel, pero no haría un viaje especial.

Me alojé aquí dos noches antes con el trabajo, 13 de nosotros, y tuvimos una buena experiencia.Esta noche nos dijeron que solo 6 a la vez podían pedir y comer ya que la cocina no puede hacer frente. A pesar de que el restaurante está vacío, otras 2 personas comen solas.¿Por qué estuvo bien las dos noches anteriores, ahora no?El personal luego nos hizo sentir un gran inconveniente comer en el restaurante.Después de explicar que íbamos a hacer 13 reseñas de 1 estrella si no nos acomodaban, deciden honrarlo.Por eso voy a dar 2 estrellas

I had to eat at Le Cafe in Madejski hotel as my company kindly paid for my meals. Service from staff is very good. They are helpful and friendly. However, the food is on the bad side.. Steak was pretty good, but I wished I had more steak than chips. Thai curry tasted nothing like Thai curry. I was quite disgusted from the curry and almost wanted to vomit from the first bite. Burger was so dry that I almost chocked on it. It takes absolutely ages to get your food when there is no one else in the restaurant.

My group and I were only able to eat breakfast here but it was amazing! Everything was so fresh and tasted delicious! I have to say it is probably one of the best hotel breakfast meals I've had!

Este restaurante, ubicado dentro del hotel, está bien diseñado, bien iluminado y tiene muchos asientos disponibles. ¡Incluso lograron organizar una mesa de 8 con muy poca antelación el sábado por la noche después del partido de fútbol! !

This isn’t fine dining but it is a very good resturant that is well designed is well lit and has plenty of seating, the service is really very good and the food enjoyable with an extensive menu. Top value for money.

The outside weather was not good and there were not many othere places to eat nearby. So we opted to eat in this hotel eatery. More like a cafe/bistro.

A really great range of breakfast foods. Everything was fresh. The only downside was the fruit juices which are cheap carton type.

Buffet breakfast exceptional! Buffet lunch on match days great value and good choices. First class service from great well trained staff.

madejski's on site cafe/restaurant serving very tasty meals well presented by very pleasant staff and kitchen

Enjoyable pre match food at Le Cafe. You can eat as much or as little as you want. Reasonable pricing and good choice. Pleasant setting and good service. Recommended.

El desayuno se sirve de 6:30 a 10:00. Fui a las 9 de la mañana un la comida era todavía muy fresca. Mucha variedad de una variedad y pan tostado fresco es comprar un té a la mesa. Muy impresionado, el único problema que tuve fue que el personal no era amable.

Excellent you have to try this restaurant at reasonable prices for Thai cuisine, the best outside Thailand.

Era un desayuno tan increíble e incluía todo lo que deseábamos. Había cereales, fruta fresca (incluso las fresas! ), cruasanes, desayuno inglés completo y zumos, té y café y tostadas. Fue buen servicio y limpio. Sin duda lo recomiendo y era una manera perfecta de terminar la estancia en el mañana.

Normalmente desayunamos aquí y he tenido la cena ocasional. La comida es buena y abundante. El personal en general buena, algunos podrían usar más interpersonal habilidades de capacitación. Relación calidad-precio razonable.

Comimos aquí un domingo por la noche como parte de un paquete de dbb, salmón ahumado, queso lubina y todo muy bien presentado, con lados buena. El personal agradable que nos cuidaron bien, buen trabajo bien hecho.

Meglio sicuramente del ristorante Cilandro (l'altro ristorante dell'Hotel): più alla mano e con prezzi ragionevoli. In ogni caso servizio lento. Non si mangia male, anche se peccano in fantasia.

We had a Thai meal, very tasty and plenty of kick to the curries. Bit slow coming though. Staff were pleasant.

My wife and I were travelling to watch Wasps Vs Saracens at the Madejski Stadium and wanted to watch our team arrive at the gound at 1.30pm (3pm Kick Off) so booked for when Le Cafe opened at 12.30pmGetting the reservation was just a phone call and so I was happy.Then I got a returned call to check it was me.Then I got the email with a 2 page form that told me what I could and couldn't do there and warnings about wearing my "strip" and taking full name, address, email (Which they already had from the phone call as otherwise they couldn't have sent me that), Credit card details, agreement to pay in full in figures and words and an acknowledgement that I had no grounds whatsoever to get a refund if I cancelled within five days of the reservation!!After that, I thought, the meal itself had better be bloody good!We arrived in trepidation, expecting to have petit Gauleiters marshalling us through their esteemed hotel and Cafe and instead got a really relaxed, friendly and efficient welcome from a team that recognised the name immediately, took us to a reasonably good table with a banquette seating to one side and well laid, took our drinks order and told us what to expect.The food was very nicely cooked and presented and clearly the Chef is encouraged to use his/her imagination.The food having been paid in advance it was just necessary to pay for the drinks on the day which did not include the complimentary coffees at the end so left a reasonable cash tip for the staff who had been excellent and attentive.Unlikely to be in the area again but would advise all Rugby Fans that this is a top class place to eat and very reasonable so if you are playing London Irish at home, book lunch or supper there.

Second visit here. Last time it was a superb brunch due to an early kick-off. This time a more leisurely 3 course buffet before a 3pm kick-off. Only two choices of starter (prawn cocktail or pates) but both very good. Only 2 choices of main but again both very good ( 3 of us had the roast beef which was really tender. 1 had the salmon which he said was lovely.) Three lovely puddings to choose from - Individual banoffee pies, lemon meringue or syrup sponge - of course there was also custard or cream plus some lovely raspberry sauce which went well with the lemon meringue. Good service as before from a friendly, helpful team. Not 5 star this time due to limited selection. £25 cost was fair, although perhaps a bit loaded due to the convenience of the location.

The salad was lovely as was the bolognase buy the pasta a little over cooked. (That was the buffet option)The croquettes were yummy but the litmus had too much sugar for our taste.Bread warm and fresh! The staff were very friendly!!!We were sooooo hungry and enjoyed but can't say it was anything to rave about... Sorry!

Fairly ordinary-style hotel cafe, but the menu is a bit limited (to be fair, it does have a separate Thai menu which I didn't get to) and the although the young staff are friendly, they could do with some training and supervision - the service is a bit random. Cooking was OK, but he draught beer I fancied wasn't available, and when the bottled version arrived it tasted a bit odd - turned out the bottle was nearly 3 months out of date. Shouldn't happen in a supposed 4* hotel.

We had the Pre-match Brunch here as soon as it opened at 11.30am since the (rugby) match was due to start at 1pm. There is a superb choice (buffet-style) including fresh fruit, cooked food and pastries. Toast was cooked to order. I asked if there were fried eggs available and although they said that was not normally done for this buffet the chef happened to overhear and immediately cooked two for me then put some out on the buffet as well. Waiting staff were great as was management. At £19.95 the price was fair for what was available and the uniquely convenient location. Highly Recommended.

Ate here when staying at the hotel.Wide range of food available, I had one of the Thai menus, they have 3 options available. It all comes at once on a large platter with a main course, soup, salad, spices on separate plates.Service is really good, worth a visit.

Have eaten here many times over the years and have always found it first class.The set meal on match days is particularly good. Staff are nice and friendly and there are always managers on hand who appear to be working themselves rather that watching their staff! A family friendly place with a good choice of food.

Poor service, food sent back as it was cold - everyone served at different times so nobody ate together- 1 hour gap between main course and dessert!

Had dinner here whilst staying in the Madejeski hotel, the service was very good staff were polite friendly and very attentive. Service is either order at the bar or take a seat in the bar area where a member of staff will take your food and drink order. I had a burger which was tasty hot and well presented and reasonably priced for a hotel bar. Menu is varied with something to suit all tastes and ranges from a lite bite sandwich to a hearty main course

Very nice end to a very enjoyable stay at the millennium hotel lots of hot tasty food and nicely presented fruits very well prepared

We ate dinner here on Friday night. We ordered 2 x mains, 2 glasses of wine and 1 x dessert and it came to £47 which was overpriced for what it was. For example the vegetable Thai green curry contained carrots and peas only. There were lots of small flies, some of which landed in my wine. When I told the waitress, she laughed it off.The breakfast was expensive (approx £13 per day - discount for 2 night stay). Hotel guests were allowed to wear PJs and socks in Le Cafe which was unacceptable as it is a 4* hotel.We will eat somewhere else and not have breakfast the next time we stay at the Majeski Hotel.

The Restaurant is very good we have breakfast in there the food is good quality and hot and reasonable price plenty of choice eat as much as you want staff very helpful

Food is quite average and prices are not low.Service was also not amazing and a bit slow, although the staff was quite friendly.if you are staying in the hotel it's an option for some food, however it's not worth coming on purpose.

I find the prices expensive for the quality of the meals, which is far from good, in my opinion. On the other hand, the staff is nice.

Had smoked salmon to start - the quartered slice of bread was spread thickly with butter so couldnt eat it. The hake was lovely, moist thick fisk steak. Too much rich buttery sauce that the potatoes were struggling to swim through - could have been far more subtle because the fish was great. Creme brulee nice, 'urn' coffee by the taste of it. House red was ok.

Same venue for breakfast and dinner so not a great intimate atmosphere but it does the job. Staff were very good and friendly, menu was varied. Food was fine some were warm instead of hot but still edible. Not a destination restaurant but good if you are staying in the hotel.

Excellent . choice very good service, value for money. Downside toast was made too far in advance. The food was hot and tasty a little bit like a canteen so not really comfortable but efficiently capable.

Very poor and basic choice. Budget hotel quality food for the one meal I had there, did not have breakfast as evening meal was poor.

Not too bad but food a little dry and chicken and rice needed more sauce , that said the rest and the steak were fine

The menu had plenty of choice, the food was hot and we didn't have to wait ages between each course.

Good menu at a good price, never too busy either. The food is good drop in if your nearby. More of a Cafe than a restaurant

food was lovely setting is clean and v light table and chair are wood which was nice and clean all the food was good but we loved breakfast it was well worth the money so much fresh fruit

Choice of three desserts all usually containing cream. Would have liked a fresh fruit salad as an alternative for non dairy eaters.

Very modern and clean, staff friendly and polite. Food was excellent fillet steak was cooked perfectly rare as requested and the sides were very tasty and just the right amountCream of mushroom was superb Decor and atmosphere was that of a hotel reception area as expected.However the food seemed too good for the nasty looking cheap premier inn breakfast style plates it was served on.. Lots of scratches and well used with "Cafe" printed in them like you would expect in a little chef The price was £80 for 2 x three Course meals and we Burge had the fillet steak so good valueJust get some new plates and I would up my review to 4 stars

The food was ok, was expecting a lot better and quite expensive. We went on Saturday night and there were only a few people in the restaurant.

I stayed at the hotel and after arriving a little late decided to eat at the restaurant. The menu was a little odd and didn't have a great choice and what was there seemed to come with add accompaniments. The food was okay and the service good but I expected better for the money and in a 4 star hotel.

Good selection of food. Good attentive service. Wine is pricey, but that's the norm in the UK.Also had breakfast here which is superb with a good selection from the cold buffet and plenty of cooked options as well.

Service was excellent, food was excellent but it was expensive.

I used Le Cafe once for a dinner, food wasn't the best but they were good. Portion size is not small neither. For a breakfast offer they had some French cheese and wide range of fruits. Even though during busy times (around 8am) it takes a little more waiting for coffee or tea so try to be there a little early.

I have never had a bad meal here, but would recommend for business rather than pleasure as it just lacks atmosphere.

cooked breakfast is a rip off... it tasted worse than school dinners.it was re heated and over and over... dont eat there...

Great Restaurant I booked over email and was very easy- I was sent the menus and what they would be serving on the day.We went on a Saturday before football (Reading game) for my mother’s birthday, depending how busy the restaurant is they will serve the buffet or if not the a’l carte menu.We were lucky it was the buffet, the restaurant was busy and we were served quickly and ordered a glass of wine each £5.95 – the buffet looked wonderful and lots of choice.Starters were soup, cold meats and different types of fish and some wonderful prawns, main courses were a Indian choice roast beef, a veg option all looked lovely and served with appropriate condiments. The desserts although I was very full looked so lovely – I had the cherry cheesecake which was wonderful and my mother had the fruit salad.Overall it is a pricey meal at around £70.00 for the both of us but for a treat it was worth it, the food in particular was amazing and the atmosphere was good – was impressed with the service and speed.

our meal was ok but the choice was quite limited, the Friday night it was very quiet with only 4 others eating, the following night it was busier and had more atmosphere which was nice, we would have liked more choice on the menu but we would have dinner again if staying at the Hotel
