CAFE ET LIQUEURS.
M. Martin, who is the proprietor, will give you a dinner at any price
from 4 pesetas upwards. He was caterer to the kings of Portugal and of
Sweden when they were at Barcelona in 1888, and has furnished all the
banquets given by the municipal council since 1881. _Filet de sole
Martin_, one of the dishes of the house, proves that he has the Parisian
ambition to give a name to a filleted sole.
The Maison Doree which has lately been increased to double its original
size, has as proprietors the MM. Pompidor, Frenchmen, who march with the
times. It is in the Plaza Cataluna. It makes a speciality of a
_prix-fixe_ breakfast and dinner on Thursdays and Saturdays, and it
serves tea daily _a l'Anglaise_ from 4 to 6.
Port Bou
There is a little restaurant at Port Bou, kept by Francisco Jaque, where
you are likely, if you are making a stay to see the Pyrenees, to be
better looked after than at the station on the French side of the
frontier. There are rooms to be hired there.
San Sebastian
Crossing the Spanish frontier on the western side from France, the first
important town reached is San Sebastian. The great sea-bathing place of
Spain is a town where one would expect to find some excellent
restaurants, for the Queen-mother lives for a great part of the year in
her palace on the sea-shore, and the Court is with the King whenever he
is in residence there, which is generally in summer and autumn.
