And now for my other little restaurant in Soho. It is the Moulin d'Or at 27 Church Street. When Karl Thiele, who was in the employ of Peter Gallina at the Rendez-Vous Restaurant, married the pretty book-keeper at the Richelieu Restaurant, they determined to set up in business on their own account, and took a ground-floor room in Church Street, gave it a good-looking window, put a row of little trees outside, hung baskets of ferns within, and christened it Le Moulin d'Or, hoping that their mill would grind golden grist. It was a doll's house restaurant when I first discovered it two years ago, and the great ambition then of its proprietor and proprietress was that they might in time become sufficiently prosperous to add the first-floor room to their establishment. They have prospered, and when I lately went to dine there I found that the lower room with a restful green paper had been increased in size by taking in the passage, and that upstairs is a new restaurant room also with green walls and a large window, the dream realised of the young couple. And not only have these improvements and additions been made, but quite close to the Moulin d'Or there has been put up a wonderful windmill with electrically lighted sails which revolve, and below it a hand pointing in the direction of the restaurant and a transparency whereon see inscribed the prices of the _table d'hôte_ meals, luncheon, and dinner, and supper, for the Moulin d'Or has both its _carte du jour_ and its _table d'hôte_ meals. For half-a-crown, on the occasion of my last visit, I could have eaten _hors d'œuvre_, made my choice between a _consommé_ and a _crème soup_ and partaken of salmon, _filet de bœuf_, roast chicken and caramel cream, but I preferred to turn my attention to the _carte du jour_, and ordered _crème Suzette_, 6d.; _truite au bleu_, 1s. 3d.; _escalope de veau Viennoise_, 10d.; _haricots verts_, 6d.; and an _omelette au Rhum_, 10d., all very well cooked and served piping hot. The restaurant has not yet a wine licence, but for all that a special wine is reserved for it at a neighbouring wineshop, an excellent light burgundy, _Château Villy_, at 4s. 6d. a quart, and 2s. 6d. a pint, and, besides, there is a quite comprehensive wine list. Karl Thiele and his wife, looking for new kingdoms to conquer, have moved to Brighton, where they are established in St James's Street, and the new host at the Moulin d'Or is M. Combes, a very young man, assisted by a very young wife. They are, in spite of their youth, maintaining the reputation of the house for good cookery. VI A RAG-TIME DINNER AT THE IMPERIAL RESTAURANT
