The Dieudonné's of the present day is a large building of white stone and red brick, always very spick and span, and decked out with flower boxes. The restaurant on the ground floor is a fine room in the Adams style, a very light grey in colour, with some of the ornamentation just touched with gold. At one end are three large bow-windows, and at the other end there is a musicians' gallery for the orchestra. On the side walls the ornamentation suggests doorways with mirrored panels, pink shades on the electroliers have subdued the light, which, when the room was first built, I found too white and too brilliant, and the lamps on the tables are also pink-shaded. The carpet is of a deep rose, and the white chairs are also upholstered in that colour. It is a very pleasant dining-room, and the people who dine there are all pleasant to look at, and do good food the compliment of going dressed in becoming garments. I very rarely dine at Dieudonné's without seeing a ladies' dinner-party in progress, for Dieudonné's has always been a favourite dining place of the gentler sex since the early days when Giovanini, the old _maître d'hôtel_, with bushy eyebrows and Piccadilly weepers, used to consider any ladies without an escort as being put under his special and fatherly protection. Dieudonné's chiefly relies on two _table d'hôte_ dinners, one the opera dinner, at six-and-six, and the other the Dieudonné dinner, at eight shillings. On the last occasion that I dined at Dieudonné's before going on to the Russian Opera at Drury Lane I ate the opera dinner, the menu of which I give below. It was the day of President Poincaré's state entry into London, and that event is celebrated by two of the dishes in the dinner: MENU. Hors d'œuvre Variés. Consommé à la Française. Crème de Laitues aux Perles. Saumon d'Ecosse Poché. Sauce Mousseline. Pommes Nature Concombres. Côtes de Pré-Salé Poincaré. Canetons d'Aylesbury à l'Anglaise. Petits Pois Nouveaux. Coupe Entente Cordiale. Friandises. The Dieudonné dinner on this day only differed from the shorter one by the inclusion in it of _escaloppes de ris de veau George V._
