ed all the restaurants in Brussels that are worth
troubling about, and will be very unlucky if he has not alighted upon
some dish worth remembering.

The Savoy is situated in the Rue de l'Eveque, by the side of the General
Post Office. It was originally a kind of offshoot from the American bar
and grill-room of the Grand Hotel. Being done in good spirit and with
good taste, it soon acquired favour, and at certain times in the day the
premises are almost too small. There are private dining-rooms upstairs,
and a restaurant on the first floor has lately been added. Everything is
_a la carte_. The _cafe extra_, for which 75 centimes is charged, is a
speciality. The manager is M.A. Reynier who speaks English like an
Englishman.

The Epaule de Mouton is in the Rue des Harengs, one of the little
streets already alluded to, which run from the Grand Place to the Rue
Marche aux Herbes. In this street, which is barely five yards wide, are
some of the best restaurants of the town; but the stranger must be
particular and not enter the wrong door, as they are all huddled

There is, for instance, a Gigot de Mouton next door to the Epaule de
Mouton, and there is a Filet de Boeuf. It is at the Epaule, however,
where the best cuisine will be found. Behind the door on entering a snug
corner for a _tete-a-tete_ is to be found. Although the title of the
establishment suggests Simpson's and a cut off the joint, the cuisine
will be found thoroughly French, and everything is well and tastefully
done. In ordering, it must be remembered that one _plat_ is enough for
two persons, and this is the rule in most Belgian restaurants. The
Burgundy at L'Epaule de Mouton is renowned.

La Faille Dechiree is at a corner of another little street, the Rue
Chair et Pain, close by the Rue des Harengs. The construction and
decoration are quaint; one sits in a kind of tunnel and eats _Homard a
l'Americaine_ which is a speciality of the house. Woodcock, when in
season, is also a dish to be ordered here.

Le Lion d'Or is a small establishment in the Rue Gretry, and may safely
be called the "chic" restaurant of Brussels. The salon downstairs is a
perfect little _bonbonniere_, and the rooms above are extremely cosy and
comfy. The proprietor is Adolph Letellier (of course called simply
"Adolph" by _habitues_ of the house), and he is extremely popular among
the young sports of the town. The _vr
