A travelling gourmet writes : “ A good word may
be said for the restaurant attached to the Hotel de
l’Europe, nearly opposite the Bristol Hotel de
in the Krakowski Faubourg, which is l’Europe
excellent, and very well patronised. Of course it has
the usual Zakouska counter, with its innumerable
liqueurs and delicacies. On first entering one has
almost the impression of going into some monastic
refectory on account of the numerous heavy and severe-
looking columns supporting the ceiling ; in fact, it
more resembles the aisles of a church than a chic
restaurant. The prices (for Russia) are reasonable.”
Helsingfors
Many Anglo-Saxons find themselves at one time or
another at the Finnish seaport. All the principal
hotels have restaurants. In the Opera- operakallaren,
kallaren, which forms part of the New New Theatre
Theatre, a military band plays at night, and the supper,
though it is as simple as a Swedish meal, is quite well
cooked.
The Alphyddan, which is in the Djurgurden, the
delightful garden which is on the Bay Alphyddan,
of Tolo, is in summer the pleasantest ParkofTolo
dining-place in Helsingfors.
Another very pleasant little summer restaurant ■ is
on the island of Hogholmen, where Restaurant,
are the zoological gardens of the town. Hogholmen

Yalta
The Crimea to an Englishman vaguely suggests snow
and hardships, but none of the Rivieras of Europe is
more delightful in spring or autumn than that which
stretches from Livadia to Feodosia, and has Yalta,
Simeis, Aloupka, Alouchta, Soudak, and Feodosia on
its shores. Of these luxurious villages of sea baths
the Englishman is most likely to find himself at
Yalta.
The Russian Riviera is just as expensive as the
Hotel de Paris, French one, and the man who dines at
Quay the restaurant of the Hotel de Paris in
a pavilion up to which come the wavelets, will get
Parisian cookery and Parisian prices.
The Cafe Florin, the restaurant of which juts out
Cafe Florin, * into the water, is another attractive and
Quay expensive dining and lunching place.
There is an amusing restaurant in the public garden
of the town.
