Summer Lunch Specials2009/06/01
Go Underground This breezy new eatery’s basement location belies its bright, modern environment and high value for the CBD lunchtime crowd. The design comes courtesy of the Japanese trendsetting Super Potato, while the food encompasses Asian, European and US specialties. Each cooking station is completely open and concentrates on a particular style, whether sushi, grilled foods, pastries or deep-fried items. Sandwiches and desserts are also available for take away at the delicatessen-style counter, which also sells a range of cheeses and salamis. The menu can be treated a la carte, but its front page deals in lunch specials such as fish and chips with soup of the day (58 yuan), burger with wedge fries (50 yuan), and grilled sausages with soup (48 yuan). A large leafy salad can be had for 42 yuan, while the wine list has to be among the city’s most affordable, with a quaffable tempranillo wine selling for just 25 yuan a glass, or 130 yuan for the full bottle.
