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 400 The Gourmet's Guide to Europe 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. ' .
