Clover

At lunchtime, choose omurice or a set meal; in the evening, pair a drink with a chef’s choice dish. Clover’s menu suits everything from a full meal to a casual drink, depending on what you feel like that day.

The lunchtime omurice comes in a nostalgic ketchup version, a rich demi-glace version and a gently flavoured cream-sauce version. Other choices include Indian Om, with dry curry wrapped in the omelette, and a plate served with fried prawns. There is plenty to weigh up: stick with a familiar favourite or try a different filling or sauce. Beyond omurice, the menu includes set meals with homemade hamburger steak, yakiniku with a sweet-and-savoury sauce, and tonkatsu—good options when you want a substantial meal with rice. The weekday-only daily lunch costs ¥800 and is available until it sells out. You could order a particular dish if you know what you want, or arrive earlier if you’re curious about that day’s special.

The evening Salaryman Set comes with 2 drinks, a small side dish and 1 chef’s choice dishes. One diner reported paying ¥990 and enjoying 2 draft beer and chijimi, a savoury Korean pancake. On another visit, the chef’s choice dishes included homemade croquettes, gyoza and horse mackerel fry. The changing selection may be part of the appeal. One pair of diners also reported receiving different dishes each, which they were able to share. Treat the reported price and dishes as details from those visits.

Coffee and tea are available for ¥300. For dessert, there is homemade pudding for ¥450 and French toast for ¥650; the French toast can be ordered from 13:00. It has also earned praise from someone who visited in the morning. It’s an easy way to add something sweet after a meal or linger over a treat with coffee.

Clover is described as suitable for solo meals, and offers both dine-in and takeaway. It’s a flexible choice, whether you’re after a set lunch or a drink and a dish in the evening.
