The _hors-d'oeuvre_ are a
speciality at luncheon. There is great variety, and the pickled shrimps
would tickle the most jaded appetite.
On Monday night I should send my friend to dinner at the Epaule de
Mouton.
On Tuesday, I should say, "Lunch at the Faille Dechiree and dine at the
Lion d'Or."
On Wednesday, "Lunch at the Regina and dine at the Helder."
On Thursday, "Lunch at the Filet de Sole and dine at Wiltcher's."
On Friday, "Lunch at Justine's and dine at L'Etoile."
On Saturday, "Lunch at the Belveder and dine at the Cafe Riche."
On Sunday, "Lunch at Duranton's, and, if it is summer time, dine at the
Laiterie."

The Savoy is situated in the Rue de l'Eveque, by the side of the General
Post Office. It was originally a kind of offshoot from the American bar
and grill-room of the Grand Hotel. Being done in good spirit and with

premises are almost too small. There are private dining-rooms upstairs,
and a restaurant on the first floor has lately been added. Everything is
_a la carte_. The _cafe extra_, for which 75 centimes is charged, is a
speciality.
