About this place
For a hamburger steak lunch, the first choice is between a simmered version and a Japanese-style one. At Cafe Orange, either comes with a choice of rice or bread, plus salad and soup. The listed simmered hamburger steak lunch is 1,100 yen. It is made with carefully selected ingredients sourced in Japan, including a beef-and-pork mince blend and onion. The Japanese-style option is 1,200 yen, with a Japanese-style sauce generously packed with root vegetables such as lotus root and burdock. Choosing between the sauces is part of the fun, as is deciding whether to have bread or rice.
One diner who had the Japanese-style hamburger steak at lunch praised both the tender patty and the bread. Another, who chose rice, said there was a generous amount. It is nice to be able to shape the meal to suit your appetite. For a more vegetable-forward choice, try the Plenty of Vegetables Hamburger Steak Lunch with roasted garlic sauce. The listed price is 1,300 yen, and it too comes with a choice of bread or rice, salad and soup. From the simmered version to the root-vegetable-rich Japanese-style sauce and the vegetable-topped option, there is a choice to match your mood.
If you would like to try two flavours in one meal, consider the Deux Plat: a half-size simmered hamburger steak served alongside chicken Genovese. It comes with a choice of bread or rice, salad and soup, and is listed at 1,400 yen. The Plat du Jour, a selection of popular cafe dishes, is 1,650 yen and likewise includes bread or rice, salad and soup. The menu information lists both as limited to 1 servings per day, so check if you have your eye on one. A diner who tried the Plat du Jour reported enjoying a selection of 9 items, accompanied by bread or rice and a drink. It offers a different take on a hamburger steak lunch, ideal when you feel like sampling a little of several dishes.
For dessert, options include half portions of gâteau au chocolat and baked cheesecake, or a plate with both. Caramel chiffon cake and banana caramelised dessert are also on the menu. One diner who was full after lunch said they were already looking forward to trying dessert next time—an understandable reaction to the choices. For a lighter meal, you could simply pair a cake with coffee.
Lunch is available for solo diners, and the menu lists a baby chair and children’s dishes. One visitor also mentioned eating on the terrace, another option alongside the indoor seating. You can put together a meal to suit the day, from the portion and choice of bread or rice to something sweet afterwards.
