10. Kyrenia
Overall Ratings
4 based on 337 reviews
Kyrenia offers a wide range of authentic Greek and Cypriot dishes, from simple souvlakia to generous and varied meze selections. Kyrenia also offers special lunchtime and midweek menus.

Our family have enjoyed excellent meals here for many years, including a good range of vegetarian dishes. Our recent visit, however, was disappointing because the vegetarian Mousaka & Papoutsakia of our meze included the meat substitute Quorn. Quorn is not mentioned on the menu and we, like many others, are intolerant to this synthetic substitute. Including Quorn without listing it as an ingredient is surprising, as a reasonable number of people cannot keep it down. Whilst the staff were very quick to replace the dish with additional items, they were not the crowning glory of previous meaty and vegetarian meals here. We will check if Quorn is off the menu before we book for vegetarians again.

Just like our award winning restaurant, Bristol Lido, Thames Lido bar and restaurant is Reading's new venue for unpretentious dining with a strong Spanish and Mediterranean feel. The open kitchen and wood burning ovens and bespoke charcoal grill add to th

Before it lapsed we decided to use a voucher given to my wife last Christmas for a swim and lunch. Great refurbishment of an old Victorian swimming pool, but why not 'non slip' tiles round the pool....splashes of water from serious swimmers (they swim up and down the side) and as I was not swimming during the half hour my wife was I saw three people slip on the tiles....not helped by autumn leaves from nearby trees falling on the tiles. Also some curtains to changing cubicles missing rings so do not close properly. Ordered a latte whilst I was waiting, no sugar offered and very slow to come.Having said that the lunch was excellent (do chefs not have to cover their hair any more?) ham hock and wild mushrooms to start followed by chicken and pollock; all well cooked and nicely presented, served by friendly efficient staff (no salt or pepper on the table!!!)

Fresh food
Reviewed By Ani988
Visited this restaurant based on the excellent Trip Advisor reviews, upon arrival we found it to be a small kebab shop with poor seating facilities, completely not as expected after reviewing the pictures on Trip Advisor. We ordered mixed grills which were as dry as the Sahara dessert and consisted of a very small portion for the price. Service was poor, we had to ask for our drinks twice despite ordering them with the mains! We do not recommend this restaurant and most certainly will not be visiting again! Overall a very unpleasant experience.

We took my son here for his 21st birthday as the reviews were generally good. We managed to find street parking nearby but parking is a problem and beware of parking in TGI Fridays as you may get fined. The staff were very pleasant and very attentive maybe as it wasnât very busy. We had the platters to start which were both delicious. Everyone was happy with their mains which were plentiful and packed with flavour. The biggest disappointment was an Italian restaurant that doesnât have Tiramisu on the menu. The desserts we did have were slightly disappointing but didnât detract from what was a great evening. Very reasonably priced with good discounts if you look online.

Offering a vibrant, nutritious selection of historic Sardinian recipes and modern Italian dishes, Pepe Sale is an award-winning eatery in the centre of Reading. As well as premium staples like home-made fresh pasta and typical bread and wines, delicious h

An unplanned overnight in Reading and found Pepe Sale as I was staying at the nearby Penta hotel. The food was brilliant: Italian, heavily influenced by Sardinian dishes and ingredients and served by friendly, Sardinians. Justifiably highly-rated on Trip Advisor for Reading.

Homely Italian restaurant with fresh homemade food, only a few minutes of walk from the centre of Reading! Whether it is a romantic evening for two, a casual family and friends "get together" or a business dinner, you will always find something for you in
Reviewed By simon l
As the 6th highest rated we thought it would be decent. No qualms with the service, top notch. The wine was fine although it was the second most inferior type, grapes went even listed on the bottle. The calamari was good but expensive. The pizzas are well presented. Even 1.5cm crust and even 1cm tomato puree border. However, they were expensive and pretty tasteless and we didn't fancy eating them. We were offered chili oil but that's masking them. We hoped the place would be great, however we'll skip our anniversary and further thoughts on returning. Wife prefers Papa Gs among others.(I used to have 400,000 TripAdvisor followers, however with gdpr the number is no longer listed)

Reviewed By Loveallthingsspanish
Having been in May and we were back in Reading, we felt another visit would be nice and we were not disappointed, the bustling vibrant atmosphere is fantastic and the staff all extremely helpful, the wife enjoyed a huge grilled goats cheese served on rocket with sun dried tomatoes, I enjoyed the Frito misto , although more than 2 prawns would have been nice, Wife enjoyed a big bowl of pasta with pea, aubergine and sauce sauce for main, which was good, I stayed seafood and went for risotto, I felt the seafood selection could have been slightly better, some shell on clams would have been nice and maybe a few more prawns, and I did not get a seafood flavour through the rice, enjoyed it but could have been a bit tastier. We washed this down with 4 large Peroni at £6.75 each, perhaps a little steep for a bistro, but overall a good experience and would certainly revisit.
