About this place
One diner came in for the hamburger-steak lunch, then changed their mind after a photo caught their eye and ordered omurice instead. France serves hamburger-steak lunches by day and operates as a beer hall in the evening, with options to suit different appetites.
A diner who ordered hamburger steak with fried chicken at lunch said they could choose between corn potage and chilled tomato soup, and enjoyed self-service coffee after the meal. Another visitor described the hamburger-steak lunch as a substantial meal, well suited to a filling midday stop with rice. You could pair hamburger steak with fried chicken, or choose omurice with demi-glace sauce. The lunch menu lets you make the dish you fancy the centrepiece.
The evening menu broadens considerably. Visitors have mentioned enjoying everything from ajillo and fried chicken to Chinese-style fried rice. There is also house-made Prague ham, made by slowly cooking pork shoulder with salt and 5 types of herbs, then finishing it with a 3-degree cooking process. Alongside dishes to enjoy with beer, there are options for a more substantial meal, including Haikara Spaghetti—Napolitan-style pasta topped with a fried egg and cooked on a hot plate—and the restaurant’s special omurice.
The menu also suggests pairing beer with a chicken basket. The selection works for a casual drink and snack, or for sharing several dishes over a meal.
