A liqueur tasting of carraway seeds is pleasant, but that
made from the wild plum is not to be rashly ventured upon.
This is the menu of a little dinner for two eaten at Capsa's:--
Caviar.
Ciorba de Poulet.
Turbot a la Grec.
Mousaka aux Courzes.
Gateaux.
And this a breakfast at the same establishment:--
Glachi de Carpe (froid).
Oeufs Polenta.
Pilau.
Aubergines aux Tomates.
There is also a confectioner's shop kept by Capsa, who was for some
considerable time at Boissier's in Paris, afterwards returning to
Bucarest and opening this establishment. It is as good as that of any
Parisian _confiseur_, with the result that all Bucarest are his
customers, and his business is an extremely lucrative one.
A cheap dinner can be obtained, _a la carte_, at the Hotel Continental
in the Calea Victorici, opposite the Theatre Nationale.
Jordachi's in the Strada Coatch, and Enesco's in the Strada Sfantu
Tonica, also deserve mention; they are cheap, second-rate restaurants,
but you get there the dishes of the country. In both these places a
capital band of Tziganes play the music of the country. Enesco's is,
perhaps, the better of the two. If you require any _specialites_ the
waiter will be sure to know what to advise; one dish, called _Brochettes
de Filet_, may be recommended.
