Alto Lounge - Reading

This is a local favourites of ours. Easy to order, great hospitality and good menu. Always buzzing and popular with all age groups. We had a late brunch today which was lovely.

There are many dining options in Caversham with a variety of food choices, but I highly recommend trying Alto Lounge. Located on the north side of Church Street, just north of Caversham Bridge, this restaurant offers a cozy pub-like atmosphere with wood floors, tables, and an impressive collection of pictures on the walls. I dined here twice during my stay in the area and enjoyed an egg sandwich and a burger, both of which were delicious. The service was quick and efficient, with the option to order online or at the bar. I also recommend trying their ciders and ales, as they are top-notch. Alto Lounge is a great choice for a meal in the area.

Vegan breakfast very good and very hearty, husband enjoyed his carnivore breakfast. Service was very good, staff were friendly and attentive. This was our first visit, plan to return for an evening meal in the future.

The service at this restaurant is excellent, with a good selection of vegan breakfast options to cater to a variety of dietary needs. The price is a bit steep at £10, but the mix of baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns, falafel, greens and peppers, toast, and vegan "bacon" was satisfying. Coffee is an additional £3. I may opt for a smaller, more affordable breakfast selection next time. Despite needing to send my meal back to be reheated, the staff were attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere was lively but not overly loud, and the staff responded quickly and effectively when a customer became ill and collapsed (thankfully, he recovered).

Historically food has always been good at the Alto Lounge. A number of items not available and when food arrived not to the usual standard. Burger was small not even 4oz let alone the 6oz on the menu. Brioche bun replaced with what looked like a cheap sliced Warburtons one and not even going to say what the coleslaw was like. Very rarely complain but requested a refund and left it was that bad.
