The Cafe de Fornos is also well spoken of by all who have experimented.
The restaurant at the Fornos is in the cafe on the ground floor. On the
first floor are the private rooms. There are several of the restaurants
with _cabinets particuliers_ where little suppers are given after the
theatre, the Fornos being one; but the Madrilese dandy, wishing to sup

restaurants profess the French cuisine, and at Lhardy's as good a dinner

The dinner-hour at Seville is seven o'clock. There is a Restaurant Suizo
in the Calle de las Sierpes, and a little restaurant, the Eritana, with

Manzanilla wine with its proper accompaniment of snails or
_langostinos_, visit the Taberna, opposite the Madrid Hotel; and if you
are a bachelor, do not mind an atmosphere of smoke, can make yourself
understood in Spanish, and like local colour, take your _cafe au lait_
of an evening in the Cafe Cantante of the Calle Sterpes. You will
recognise the house by the little dancin
