Fondue and shabu-shabu

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have recommendations for where to go to get fondue in the Somervile/Cambridge area? I'm not talking just cheese as an appetizer or chocolate for dessert, though. I want a place that does varied appetizers, a main course of meats and vegetables cooked in hot oils and then dessert fondues; the whole works!

Alternately, does anyone know of restuarants that do shabu-shabu style meals?

Shabu Shabu

Shabu Zen in Chinatown does shabu shabu with burners built into the table. Fun, relatively cheap (unlike Japan!) and open for lunch. Not the most practical meal for summer though; sitting over a boiling tureen of broth in the 90 degree heat takes the fun out it right fast. :)

Echo echo!

They were also extra-super-vegetarian-friendly, which I believe would translate to similar for any other dietary issues.
