My favourite place to eat in Winnipeg, the Paladin Restaurant on Des Meurons in St Boniface burnt yesterday morning. We made a stop here on every trip back to Winnipeg. Very sad, although I understand they will rebuild.

I had my first date with my boyfriend there. I was served a hot plate and water with ice. I wasn’t warned the plate was hot and I burned my finger. It hurt so much I almost wept. I put my finger into the water.
When I and my boyfriend found the missing restaurant on our walk, I told him that maybe that restaurant burned down because the waitress hadn’t warned me and I had burned myself.
My boyfriend, as a memory of our date, took a burned piece of paper we’ve found in the place where the restaurant was.
Had a meal there every time we visited Winnipeg.
