latter being opened on 1st
May without regard to the temperature, and closed on 30th September.

Malmoe

At Malmoe, which is the landing place from Kiel, there is a good dinner
or lunch obtainable at the big hotel with twin turrets which faces the
statue to Gustavus Adolphus.

Storvik

At Storvik, a station on the Storlieu line, there is a restaurant which
is celebrated throughout Sweden. You are charged 2 kronor, which is the
price of a meal at all railway refreshment rooms, and help yourself at a
big central table, crayfish soup, fish, meat, poultry, game, and sweets
all being included in the meal, and a glass of light beer.

Gothenburg

The restaurant of the Haglund is a good one, and I give one of the menus
of its dinner at 3 kronor:--

SOPPA.

Potage a la Parmentier.

FISK.

Saumon grillee a la maitre d'hotel.

KOeTTRAeTT.

Langue de Boeuf Garni. Sauce aux Olives, ou Fricandeau de veau aux
pois.

STEK.

Poulet a la Printanier. Compotes.

EFTERRAeTT.

Bavaroise hollandaise ou Framboises.

National Dishes

There are very few Swedish national dishes, milk, cream, butter, and
fish being, however, excellent. The _Smoergasbord_ is the great
institution of the country. _Plaettar_, or Swedish pancakes, are also
good.

Norway

Norway is by no means a happy hunting ground for the gourmet. Salmon,
halibut, and ptarmigan are the usual luxuries, and they pall on the
palate after a time. The Hotel Victoria at Christiana is well spoken of
in the matter of cooking, and the Brittania at Throndhjem is said to
cater well considering the latitude it is situated in.

Denmark

From the gourmet's point of view there is little to write as to the
Copenhagen restaurants. That of the Hotel d'Angleterre is good, and a
good word can also be said for the cooking at the Hotel Phoenix.

The Tivoli Gardens are the summer resort of Copenhagen, and all classes
patronise them, rich and poor both being catered for. They are a
magnified Earl's Court, with the Queen's Hall and the booths from a
French fair added. There are restaurants of all kinds at the Tivoli,
some being very popular and surprisingly cheap. One of these
restaurants, the Danish one, is of interest and gives a very good
national meal for 3 kronor.

The Cafe National is an excellent place at which to sup, cold poached
eggs in aspic being one of the delicacies of the house.

All the world makes expeditions to Elsinore, or as the Danes, reg
