Following the closure of Michelin star Reading restaurant, L’Ortolan, we have seen many people in disarray over where to visit for the ultimate culinary experience. Despite the disappointment at L’Ortolan’s closure, Berkshire currently has four Michelin star restaurants known for their excellent service and outstanding food. Although they sit outside of Reading, these eateries are well worth travelling a short distance for.

Berkshire is so special because unlike many areas around the UK, the county currently has 2 of the 6 restaurants with three-Michelin stars. The Fat Duck, Bray - Three Michelin star Heston’s flagship restaurant in Bray has held three stars since 2004. The Fat Duck offers a magic culinary experience, with many dishes inspired by Alice in Wonderland’s world.

Each dish will overpower the senses and set your taste buds buzzing. The popularity of one of Heston’s restaurants in the charming village means only the most prepared will be able to bag a table by booking months in advance. This is one of three Michelin star restaurants in Bray – the heart of Berkshire for luxury foodies.

It’s an unforgettable bucket list foodie destination. The Waterside Inn, Bray - Three Michelin star The Waterside Inn, located on the beautiful River Thames, was opened by the Roux family in 1972. This family, who owns some of the best restaurants in the world, take fine dining to the highest quality, and elevate it to another level.

The restaurant has retained its star.
