“Simple” dishes from “seasonal, local ingredients” have carved out a big local reputation for this “friendly” Caversham bistro; critics do fear, however, that it’s becoming rather “over-rated”.

There's a lot going against this week's restaurant. The name, for one. Mya Lacarte, a contorted riff that really doesn't work, is difficult to say and might be fun if the chef or owner's name were Mya... but it's not. (Well, the owners are Matt and Yasmina Siadatan, perhaps that explains the M and Y... Then again, Yasmina's a previous winner of The Apprentice, so she's no stranger to wilfully wacky business plans.)

“Mya Lacarte”, the critic helpfully tells us, was “voted ‘Restaurant of the Year’ at the Pride of Reading Awards in 2008”. Turns out the award did not lie – “the food is fabulous, the service slick, the atmosphere as soothing as the sound of gentle rain and the bill very reasonable”.
