The dwarf restaurant owned by Gimlet Gimlet, located in Cable Street, Ankh-Morpork. Nowadays, it also caters to trolls, the proprietor having realised that discrimination should never stand in the way of profit. By the time of Thud!, Gimlet had opened another delicatessen in a different location as well as another restaurant, "Yo Rat!", in Attic Bee Street.

During Feet of Clay there was a major scandal at the restaurant when a dwarf was taken ill with arsenic poisoning. While this indirectly led to the discovery of how the Patrician was being poisoned, it also led to the Dwarfs discovering that following a rat shortage Gimlet had been creating fake rats from various cuts of other animals, including - iniquitously - steak and chicken. The restaurant survived the scandal and continues to trade.

The menu includes, at the time of Soul Music:

Dwarf food:

  • Dwarf Bread
  • Fried rat (best in the city)
  • Soya rat (vegetarian)
  • Pizza "Quatre rodenti" (with newts and chillies)
  • Pizza "Klatchian Hots" (with salami)

Troll food:

  • Five types of coal
  • Seven types of coke and ash
  • Sediments to make you dribble
  • Pizza "Four Strata" (with pitchblende)
