You can get away with ordering an omelette in the restaurants
of most of the Grand Hotels. They still give the same high class
service with all the incidentals, the bill is higher than you would

Tried at the Grande Bretagne in Athens, The Savoy in London,
The Carlton in Cannes. Next time in Paris may try the Ritz or
The Lutetia.
