The proprietor is Emile Beaud. An excellent lunch can
be obtained here at a fixed price, and one can also eat _a la carte_.
Prices are lower than at most of the first-class restaurants, but the
cuisine and wines are both safe and sound. The Cantenac at 4 francs is
to be specially recommended, and the Medoc de la Maison at about 2
francs is also good. There are private rooms upstairs.
Wiltcher's, on the Boulevard de Waterloo, provides the best and cheapest
_table-d'hote_ in Brussels. The price is only 3 francs, and is wonderful
value for the money. The following is the menu of a dinner in January:--
Consomme a la Reine.
Filet de Sole a la Normande.
Quartier d'Agneau.
Mint Sauce a l'Anglaise.
Epinards a la Creme.
Poularde de Bruxelles en Cocotte.
Croquettes de Pommes de Terre.
Gangas du Japon a la Broche.
Compote de Mirabelles.
Salade de Laitue.
Glace Arlequin.
Biscuits de Reims.
Cafe.
In old Mr. Wiltcher's time a good many people came from outside for the
excellent food here provided, but now so many families reside all the
year round in the hotel, that it is difficult to get a table for dinner
when it is not ordered beforehand.
