JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Cosmos restaurant #general
The Cosmo restaurant was not the only restaurant run by, and popular with,
German-Jewish refugees. Diagonally opposite was the Dorice. If you put in either restaurant into the search engine of the AJR Newsletter (http://www.ajr.org.uk/pdfjournals) you will get many hits as both restaurants frequently advertised in the Newsletter. Equally, a "google" search will also achieve many further links. Another haunt was Schmidt's in Charlotte Street, a stone's throw >from the Bloomsbury part of London, a German restaurant with a shop downstairs selling German fare. I don't think it was Jewish owned but also had a popular following >from the German-Jewish community as well as the nearby general student community as it offered cheap and plentiful food in its upstairs restaurant. Alas, all three restaurants are no more but for those of us still around, these restaurants invoke many childhood and young adult memories of Weiner schnitzel, sauerbraten, Hungarian goulash, Koenigsberger klopse, apple strudel.
