Belgian Catering In London. I wroto some months ago, says an English lady, about the Belgian cafe in Soho, London. Since then the Belgian cafes have been spreading, most of them in the quarters of the town where Belgian refugees are most numerous. The latest addition, ■ however, seems a bold attempt to capture British trade, as the cafe is situated, in the very heart of the shopping centre, next door to one of ■ the oldest and besWinown London confectioners. The prices are much higher here than in Soho, and the expensive British upholsteiy has done something ,to excuse them. Even the spoons and forks as yet retain the un-natural-glitter of tho jeweller's. In spite of the position of the new Belgian cafe, there seems to be no chance of a cake war in that corner of Oxford Street. The customers of the British confectioncr are mostly, peoplo who would as soon thjnk of going in for Futurism as of changing their confectioner, and the Belgian cafe is patronised mostly by foreigners—Belgians, French, Italians. They draw in a few English people anxions to polish up their French. Apparently the whole staff of the new cafe is composed of refugees who before the war were very differently employed. The young waitresses arc exceedingly obliging when your French begins to fail, and invariably suggest the right word. They always look busier .than they are, which is a sure sign that their work is new to them. But the cook is certainly an old hand at tho game.
