Run by a
jovial Bostonian named Cliffe, this new place serves gourmet pastas, pizzas, sandwiches
and salads. It's all made with high-quality local and imported ingredients and many items
are made in-house, including the tasty breads. The grilled asparagus is a favourite appet-

make for good snacks. The atmosphere is smart and businesslike. It's tucked off the
street in the ground floor of a five-storey grey building next to a large ger. A
second loc-

embassy.

diagonally opposite the
Chinese embassy. Order an array of raw vegetables, sauces and thinly sliced meats,
which are brought to your table on platters, then cook the ingredients in your personal
cauldron of boiling broth. It's a great alternative to the meat-heavy menus you'll experi-
