I have before me the bill of a little lunch
for two served in December, which can be taken as a fair specimen of the
fare and the charges:--
Huitres de Zelande, 1 douzaine 3 frs.
1 bottle Sauterne 5 "
Oeufs en Cocotte 1 "
Haricot de Mouton (plat du jour) 1 "
Foie gras Hummel 2.50 "
Salade de Laitue 1 "
Laitance de Harengs 1.50 "
1 bottle Medoc 3 "
Cafe et liqueurs 2.50 "
----------
20.50 frs.
At the same time, if one likes to lunch off a _plat du jour_, with a
glass of Gruber's beer, it can easily be done at the Regina for less
than 5 francs for two persons.
The Helder is in the Rue de l'Ecuyer, near the Opera House. It is a
smart restaurant and one dines well there. It is frequented by a good
class of people, but it has no particular character of its own. The
proprietor is M. Dominique Courtade, formerly a _chef_, and he should be
personally consulted if a special dinner is wanted. The Pontet Canet
(only to be had in half bottles) should be sampled; it is very fine.
The Filet de Sole is in the neighbourhood of the markets and close by
the Palais d'Ete.
