Petit Grill Maruyoshi

The signature cabbage roll lets you compare two sauces in a single dish. Diners have described a large, round roll cabbage topped half with demi-glace and half with curry-flavoured sauce; alternating between the two makes a satisfying match for rice. Another visitor praised its tender texture and generous cabbage, and enjoyed the contrast between the rich demi-glace and the curry sauce. The set comes with a cup of soup, and rice refills are available, making it a good choice for anyone keen to savour every last bit of sauce. Menu information notes that the cabbage roll is limited to 30 portions, so consider going earlier if it is what you have your eye on.

Another house speciality is the cinnamon cream croquette, made with beef stew meat and minced chicken. Cinnamon is noted in the menu description, and diners have singled out the smooth cream filling and the spice’s distinctive flavour. You can order it on its own or as a set with rice and cup soup. It works both as a dish to enjoy for its cinnamon aroma and as part of a more substantial meal.

For a little of everything, the “adult’s children’s lunch” featured in reviews is worth a look. The plate brings together omelette rice topped with egg, fried prawns, croquettes, Napolitan-style pasta and salad, among other items, with a choice of fried dishes. One diner reported being able to choose an S or M size of omelette rice, so you can consider how much you feel like eating. Add a cinnamon cream croquette or fried prawn, and you can try one of the restaurant’s specialities alongside familiar Western-style favourites.

For rice dishes, there is Tama Hayashi: white rice topped with a fluffy egg and a mild, sweet hayashi sauce. A diner who tried it enjoyed the egg’s soft, slightly runny texture and the rich sauce. The menu also offers a traditional European-style beef curry, described as “a little spicy”. Fillet cutlet curry rice is another option; one customer was pleased with the crisp coating and generous portion of the cutlet.
