Reviews for Cafe de l'Orangerie in Vancouver, BC
I guess it is my top casual style Japanese restaurant. I normally found most of the Japanese restaurant only served ready to go... non-alcholo drink. Last night we order London Fog, Shanghai Fog, Vienna coffee and all of them are in exact quality. Unlikeother Japanese restaurant, they also sell decent dessert. I like their curry too as my kid can't eat spicy curry! Read more
Very unique Japanese fusion restaurant. A bit of french style. The dishes are very reasonably priced and done with care and... taste great. Always a bit of a surprise and want to come back to try the rest of the menu. Parking in the small lot is achallenge as it's shared with other restaurants in the small mall. Read more
We came on a weekday and the restaurant was already mostly full when we got there at around 12pm. We got the chicken karage,... poutine with hayashi sauce, Masago de creamy pasta, wafu spaghetti and grapefruit cheesecake. Ive been here quite a few timesand their quality is always consistent. The flavours and everything have not changed over the years. They have the ultimateJapanese fusion comfort food. It was actually the first time I ordered the chicken karage and unfortunately it wasdisappointing. It's not your usual chicken karage. The breading is very light and doesn't feel like it was fried at all.Unfortunately I like a heavier chicken karage. Needed to be a bite crispier The poutine with Hayashi sauce is my go to mustorder everytime. No visit is complete without this. It seems like their portion for the poutine has gotten ever so slightlysmaller. The chips are still very crispy and the sauce still meaty and heart but just felt a bit smaller than usual. The Masagode creamy pasta is also another must order. Strangely enough it seems like their portions for the pastas have gotten bigger. Waymore noodles than before. The Masago creamy pasta is very savoury and addicting. The Masago gives it that umami flavour. Itleaves you wanting more. It's not overly creamy or heavy. The pasta is always cooked to perfection everytime. It was our firsttime trying the wafu pasta and I gotta say the Masago pasta is still more delicious. The wafu just didn't have that wow factorfor me. I thought the bonito would give it that same umaminess I got from the Masago but it didn't. I wouldn't order thisagain. For dessert we finished off with the grapefruit cheesecake. We like most of their desserts as they are not overly sweetand they have a wide range of desserts. The grapefruit was refreshing. There was a jello later in it which gave it a nicecontrast with the cream cheese layers. Not overly sweet. Would get again Overall one of my favourite places to go for a relaxed Read more
Great tasting food. Japanese style curry that's very savory but just a bit more spicy to make a delicious and unique sauce. ... Perfect on their house specialty rice with pork cutlet. Their Hayashi sauce is very tasty also. They offer a big selection ofextras you can add to your plate to suit different tastes and appetites. A bit of a wait as they don't take reservations, butworth the effort. The dishes are well priced at $15-20 so a good value too. Read more
A cozy restaurant serving up Japanese-Italian food. Seating and parking are limited but service is quick and there's plenty of... room for cars on the streets. The menu has lots of unique items to try out too! Masago pasta's my go to here. Read more
1st time visit. I heard a lot of good reviews about this place. The place is small but welcoming. Friendly staff with family... style Japanese fusion foods. All good for what I ordered except a small bite size portion of the hamburger meat is exceptionallyhard. To me it feels that they pre-cooked them and throw into the microwave to heat them up before serving. Mine was left inthe microwave a little bit too long. I could be wrong. The curry sauce is not the typical sweet Japanese curry but taste liketheir special house blend, which is nice. Read more
Love this place! Some of the friendliest restaurant servers I've ever met here. And food is quite good too, for decent prices. I... had the Masago with Hamburger. Read more
I had the octopus karaage, croquettes and hayashi spaghetti with hamburger steak. The karaage was soggy. I asked them to remake... it. The remake was better in terms of crispness, but there was too much batter. It tasted like oil. Croquettes were okay. Thepasta was flavorful and the steak was tender. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at this place though. Read more
