dCelebrating its fifth decade of service and over 18 years of retaining a Michelin star, L’Ortolan continues to be a beacon of Berkshire’s fine dining restaurant scene offering a unique, luxury, timeless quality in its style and setting and impeccable attention to detail in its dishes and service.
Reading’s only Michelin-starred restaurant, L’Ortolan has enjoyed a prestigious lineage of decorated, award-winning chefs since opening in the late Seventies.
