A Moveable Feast · Place in the book
Brasserie Lipp
In the story · Chapter “Hunger Was Good Discipline”
After a morning's work and a hungry walk, Hemingway treats himself here to a cold beer, potatoes in oil and a sausage, one of the best-known meals in the book. The brasserie, with its mosaics and waiters in long aprons, has changed very little.
