Sandwiches au Parmesan.
Dessert.
The Cafe Royal, in the Vijberberg, with an American luncheon bar on the
ground floor and a restaurant upstairs, is fairly good.
Of the hotels to which restaurants are attached, the Hotel des Indes and
Hotel Vieux Doelen have a reputation for good cookery. The former was in
olden times the town house of the Barons van Brienen, and in winter many
people of Dutch society, coming to the capital from the country for the
season, take apartments there, and during that period of the year the
restaurant is often filled by very brilliant gatherings. The manager,
Mr. Haller, has been made a director of Claridge's Hotel in London, and
divides his attention between the two hotels.
The following menu is a typical one of a dinner of ceremony at the Hotel
des Indes; it was composed for a banquet given by Count Henri Stuergkh:--
Huitres.
Consomme Bagration.
Filets de Soles Joinville.
Carre de Mouton Nesselrode.
Parfait de foie gras de Strasbourg.
Fonds d'Artichauts a la Barigoule.
Grouse rotis sur Croutons.
Compote de Montreuil.
Coeurs de Laitues.
Creme au Chocolat et Vanille.
Paillettes au Fromage.
