middle of nowhere

I guess it would be Last Supper in proper English. In Canada, we call the main meal in the evening "Dinner" instead of "Supper".

One more point. I will likely dine alone. Please recommend a restaurant that does not turn solo dinners away. Cheers.

Just found out that I am going off to war. I will travel from Canada to London, then off to the Middle East and Afghanistan. I am leaving next week. I am looking to treat myself since this can be my last good meal for a long time. Price is flexible. I am happy to spend up to 250 pounds for myself. Limiting factors are that the restuarant should be easily accessible as I won't have a rental car and may need to hail a taxi cab from Heathrow airport. Also, it has to be a place that I can get a reservation on relatively short notice. I am interested in mostly modern French/British cuisine. Please help.

I would have to agree with Ah Leung. Chung King Mansion is a pretty dangerous place. 3 people dying in the span of 2 years is a significant trend. There is also the issue of race. Sometimes we people like to be politically correct and sidestep the issue. But in Asia, especially in Hong Kong and China, most common criminals and gangsters will NOT use violence against foreigners (read: Caucasian). This is from my experience living in Hong Kong. Yes, foreigners are sometimes targeted by pickpockets and certain shops that are tourist traps, but in general they stay away from Caucasians. This is a fact.

I live in the Brandon area. We often go to Winnipeg on weekends. There is a magazine/restaurant guide called "Taste" that one can pick up from the airport/hotels etc. It lists most of the nicer restaurants in Winnipeg. Winnipeg is not a great culinery city. It is not on par with Toronto or Vancouver, let alone the true culinery destinations like Paris, London, or New York. There is no restaurant in Winnipeg that will get a star in the Michelin or more than 2 stars in the New York Times. And Winnipeg does NOT do ethnic well. We had dim sum at Kum Koon garden this weekend, which is highly recommended by locals, and it was a horrible meal. The food was bad, and worse it was cold. Cities like Ottawa and Montreal, with similiar size Chinatowns as Winnipeg, have much better dim sums. Most (if not all) East Indian restaurants are buffets. We went to the East Inda Company restaurant, again because it is recommended by locals, and left because it is a buffet. Fresh sushi is non existant. There are some honest, young chefs, running small restaurants and making contemporary French/fusion type cusine, but these are the exceptions rather than the rule. Worse, I don't think that the city takes its produce very seriously. The Market at the Forks is a big joke, a tourist trap, and in essence a very large food court. There was ONE fish monger that doubles as a fish and chip store. The only fish on display is a filleted piece of salmon and several boxes of frozen shrimps. I am not making this up. There is no butcher. The only grocer/produce seller offers a selection that one can find in any large chain grocery store. So lets be realistic. While Winnipeg is definitely the place to be if one lives in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and North Dakota. It is not a culinery destination and it will never be one.
