"Shoreditch wine bar Oranj is moving to a bigger spot, still in Shoreditch. “Bigger” in this case means terrace seating and breezy windows (not a thing at the last location). There’s an added Sunday lunch menu too, as well as the usual rotating line-up of chef residencies and DJ nights." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"This Shoreditch wine bar’s lunch menu includes a festive take on the tastemaker’s Pret sandwich of choice. Oranj’s jambon beurre has gooey Brie de Meaux, thick slices of smoked ham leg, and an aromatically spiced cranberry-laced brown sauce." - jake missing
"Seeyousoon @ Oranj / Tues-Sat / Until 23rd December Seeyousoon—a trio of chefs from Toronto—will be combining their Filipino, Vietnamese, and Chinese backgrounds to create an exciting menu of things like miso crème fraîche girolles, tempura green beans, and XO fish sandwiches. Find them at Shoreditch wine bar Oranj until the end of the year." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"You enter this industrial wine bar with changing chef residencies through unmarked creaking black garage doors, and once inside this space is always humming. Depending on who's in the kitchen, you can just as easily come to Oranj for a few pre-dinner glasses as you can for a whole sit-down affair. The space has the feel of a gallery opening, guest list-only, NTS-soundtracked supper club and, given its proximity to Brick Lane, still manages to feel quite secret." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"You never quite know what you’re going to get with Shoreditch and, pushing open Oranj’s unmarked creaking black garage doors, we would be lying if we didn’t have shuddering visions of an orange wine and jumpsuit-type experience. Thankfully, the industrial wine bar with changing chef residencies is nothing of the sorts. Depending on who's in the kitchen, you can just as easily come to Oranj for a few pre-dinner glasses as you can for a whole sit-down affair. The space has the feel of a gallery opening, guest list-only, NTS-soundtracked supper club and, given its proximity to Brick Lane, still manages to feel quite secret." - Jake Missing
