On regatta days the world of fashion occupies all the tables of the
restaurant on the _jetee_ at breakfast-time.
Two resorts patronised by the young sparks of Nice are the Regence and
the Garden Bar. The subjoined menu shows what the Regence can do when a
big dinner is given there:--
Hors-d'oeuvre varies.
Consomme a la d'Orleans.
Bouchees Montglas.
Filets de soles Joinville.
Piece de boeuf Renaissance.
Chaud-froid de foie gras.
Petits pois a la Francaise.
Faisans de Boheme a la broche.
Salade nicoise.
Mousse Regence.
Patisserie. Dessert.
The great confectioner's shop in the Place Massena and the Casino
Municipal are always crowded with ladies at tea-time.
Beaulieu
At Beaulieu the Restaurant de la Reserve is famous. It is just a
convenient distance for a drive from Monte Carlo, and the world and the
half-world drive or motor out there from the town on the rock and sit at
adjacent tables in the verandah without showing any objection one to the
other. The restaurant is a little white building in a garden, with a
long platform built out over the sea, so that breakfasting one looks
right down upon a blue depth of water. There are tables inside the
building, but the early-comers and those wise people who have telephoned
for tables take those in the verandah if the day be sunny.
