Discreet Dining in Reading

Reading's restaurants are strongest around the river and the old town. Here is where to find a calm table.

The riverside for an easy evening

Along the Kennet the restaurants have water views and an unhurried pace, a good setting for a first dinner.

What actually matters when choosing

Reading restaurants are busy with commuters and office groups early in the week and with locals at weekends, so book ahead, take the first sitting and ask for a table away from the bar. The centre is walkable, and Caversham is a short taxi across the river.
