Neither guesses correct so far, surprisingly

Perhaps it is not as well known as I thought it was. I thought Dan, as a man of the world, would know it at least. We will see, when he finally drags himself out of bed.

Think I'd probably recognise the name of it were multiple choice. I'll guess Granita as that was the place of the infamous Blair Brown pact.

not Granita.

OK : multiple choice -

A. the Noble Rot
B. the Gay Hussar
C. Aranka Csarda

gay hussar, sure i've heard that before.

Well done, HC; it was indeed 'the Gay Hussar'
