Breakfast here was a treat. Good menu with fresh food cooked to order. A well run restaurant with tasty food, not commonly found today.

Incredible cafe/ restaurant tucked away next to Reading Uni. Great customer service and remarkable food. Sensational taste and brimming with authenticity this cafe combined Western food with Mediterranean cuisine in a fantastic manner. Fair prices as well, will DEFINITELY be returning!

I loved my first visit to Monty's after many recommendations from friends!
When we arrived, staff were upfront and polite regarding the rough waiting time for food as everything is cooked fresh to order.As members of my party were late, the restaurant got busier and by the time we ordered the food wait time had increased - the staff were clear about this and apologetic. I asked if there were any small side items that may be ordered in the mean time that would be quicker, and they recommended the hash browns side which was ready in ten minutes.
I ordered the falafel wrap with added halloumi and it was delicious - fresh and filling. My family had a variety and dishes and all loved it. The eggs were perfectly cooked.
The range of drinks is fantastic, and they are very diligent about dietary requirements with alternative milks - I ordered the iced white mocha with oat milk, and staff were careful to check that I was aware the white mocha sauce has dairy in it.
When the white mocha sauce began to solidify (on reflection, I think I took too long to drink it!) the staff made me a fresh one and reassured me that it was not an issue with the milk etc.
Overall, 4 people with main meal and drinks plus two sides came to just under £60 - very good price!
The only downside was that a very loud student group sat behind us part way through our meal, shouting and being very loud in a small space - but this is to be expected in a student area and it is not the fault of the restaurant! When they all began flapping and shouting about a single wasp, the staff responded quickly bringing out a citronella candle and offered to remove the wasp that was trapped in a glass.
Overall, a very pleasant meal and great customer service. I am looking forward to visiting again as soon as I can! :)

It's been a long-time coming but I am finally getting around to leaving this finally run business a well deserved 5-stars on the food, services and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to others either living in or visiting Reading to attend this cafe for superb breakfast or lunch. Until next time, thank you very much @montyscafe!
Warm regards,

Terrible experience. Went all the way there on a Friday at 10am (it said it was open) and was completely shut. This isn?t profesional at all

Stopped by this morning and had a great experience. The place has a warm, welcoming vibe with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. We ordered the English breakfast and sausages ? both were absolutely brilliant! Delicious food, great service ? definitely coming back.

Amazing Food and Amazing Service. This family was so friendly and it?s a place you must try when in Reading England! The drinks, food and deserts all exceeded our expectations. I only wish they were in my home town so I could experience the food and hospitality weekly!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavour ? you can really tell they put care into every dish. The drinks were just as impressive, especially the lemon mint mojito ? so refreshing and perfectly balanced! Definitely a go-to spot if you?re looking for great food and amazing drinks. Highly recommend!

Grabbed a quick lunch here - the food was great and reasonably priced. The service was extremely friendly. I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick bite.

I come regularly, because I'm addicted to the minty drink they offer- a must on a hot day. The fresh pastries available are also very delicious. Highly recommend!
