Woodcock, when in
season, is also a dish to be ordered here.
Le Lion d'Or is a small establishment in the Rue Gretry, and may safely
be called the "chic" restaurant of Brussels. The salon downstairs is a
perfect little _bonbonniere_, and the rooms above are extremely cosy and
comfy. The proprietor is Adolph Letellier (of course called simply
"Adolph" by _habitues_ of the house), and he is extremely popular among
the young sports of the town. The _vrai_ gourmet will appreciate _les
plats les plus raffines_ on which Adolph prides himself. Everything is
_a la carte_, prices being plainly marked. They are not cheap. The
restaurant and rooms upstairs are open till two in the morning.
The Regina is a new restaurant at the top of the town, near the Porte de
Namur. Although only opened in 1901, it has been found necessary to
enlarge the premises, and the alterations are in progress at the moment
of writing. When completed, the restaurant on the first floor will be
more commodious and comfortable than it is at present. It is the good
kitchen that has made the reputation of the place, and if this is
maintained, the Regina will become one of the best patronised
restaurants in Brussels. Some people prefer to feed in the cafe on the
ground-floor but it is best to go upstairs, and, if possible, to obtain
a table on the glass-covered balcony in the front, which has a pleasant
outlook on the boulevards.
