The waiters at Enesco's and Jordachi's
are intelligible in German and Roumanian; at the Continental, and
especially at Capsa's, they are mostly French.
If you pay a call in Bucarest you will be offered _Dolceazza_, a kind of
sweetmeat, and a glass of water.

Stockholm
Of all the restaurants in the capital of Sweden the Hasselbacken, in the
Royal Djurgarten Park, is the most interesting to visit should it be
open, which it is from the beginning of March till the end of September.
During the early part of the season Tziganes play in one of the small
rooms, whereas in summer a somewhat noisy orchestra plays in the garden.
The price of dinner, _a prix fixe_, is 3 kronor 50 oere; this includes
soup, fish, meat, _releve_ (generally a Swedish guinea-fowl called
_hjaerpe_) and ice. Wine and coffee are of course extra.
The Hasselbacken is often used for the giving of banquets of ceremony,
but the dinner at 3 kr. 50 oere is more likely to interest the stranger
within the gates than the more extensive feasts, so I give a typical
menu of this very reasonably priced repast:--
Puree a la Reine.
