HAVE FUN
WITH FONDUE
THAT FONDUE PLACE
With a name change three years ago, previously the Magic
Pot, this small, intimate restaurant combines delicious food
and a place to socialize with friends, family and co-workers.
Enjoy a three-course meal, starting with a cheese fondue
appetizer served with an assortment of breads, apples and
broccoli, followed by a flavored broth of choice to dip a
variety of meats, poultry and fish, served with rice and
vegetables. And, of course, everyone needs to save room
for the chocolate fondue, prepared with 100 percent rich
Belgium chocolate, which comes with a plate of fruit,
marshmallows, mini pretzels and more. They are a BYOB
restaurant with no corkage fee. 934 River Road,

The Original Pancake House just moved to a new location but
they are still serving the same gourmet breakfast that they have
been making from scratch since 1953. Check out the hand-mixed
buttermilk pancakes, thick-cut bacon and oven-baked omelettes.
Some unique, delicious menu items include the Dutch Baby, an airfilled pancake served with lemon, whipped butter and powdered
sugar, and Apple Pancake, a single large pancake smothered with
sautéed apples and cinnamon-sugar glaze. This classic food joint
serves breakfast seven days a week. Outdoor seating and dinner
hours (with new menu items, such as sandwiches and wraps) will
be available soon. 15 The Promenade, (201) 585-0905,
