The Cafe Anglais, owing to the closing of the Cafe de Paris, was in 1856 at the height of its popularity. It was essentially the most aristocratic restaurant in Europe, and Duclere, its chef, was called by Rossini "The Mozart of French cookery. " As for the famous suppers in the Grand Seize, everyone talked about them, newspapers alluded to them, and they were even mentioned in plays like the " Vie Parisienne, " in which may be found the following lines : " On parle, on crie Tant qu'on pent cri
...er; Quaiid on n'en pent plus, il faut bien se taire ; La gaiete s''en va petit a petit, L'un dort tout debout, Tautre dort par terre, Et voila comment la fete finit. Quand vient le matin, quand parait faurore, On en trouve encore, Mais plus de gaiete. Les brillants viveurs sont mal a leur aise, Et dans le Grand Seize On voudrait du th6. Lis s''en vont enfin, la mine blafarde, Ivre de champagne et de faux amour, Et le balayeur s'arrete, regarde, Et leur crie : ' Ohe ! les heureux du jour.^ " Amongst the frail sisterhood the freedom of the Grand Seize was in great request, for habitual par- ticipation in the suppers held there was enough to raise a woman to the much-coveted status of being a great cocotte.
