This is obviously a replica.

A person gave me this years ago and I don't know why I haven't shared anything until now.
So,I am sharing what I have.


I will write out what the menu is in case you can't see the pics that well.

If you can see,most of the menu is predominately French.
I have looked at some other pictures of their menu and i don't think mine is as authentic as i was hoping for.

Here is the pictures,sorry they aren't that good.









Enjoy.

They had decaf!

What, no meatloaf?
That menu is interesting indeed. Very cool historical item!

Note: On the "mesclun spring greens salad", you wrote "merclun".
Damn, I'm being persnickety today.

Thank you and edited...there is something blocking that letter so i just guessed.
Thanks for the clarification.

I was just talking on the phone with my buddy, telling him about this. He and his wife are chefs. I told them that one of the later courses on the menu was "Punch Romaine". He told me it was a palette cleanser. (Snooty bastard)

His wife said that these palette cleansers often had a stiff shot of booze which stimulated the appetite. Cool.

Just a modern take what would have actually been served I think... Yeah don't think organic was big back then! Tia Maria? And shouldn't that be Samphire instead of Sapphire? Yummy menu though, nom nom

I wonder what second class and steerage had on their menues.

11 courses. I hope the servings were small or there were some large wealthy folks back then.

I had a tasting menus at the Paris hotel in las Vegas that featured eight courses but everything was small. Still I was very full by the time they served an assortment of chocolate which included ice cream , cookies and candy. .
The pate de foie gras was wonderful.
