eventually ruined planet which is enclosed in a vast time bubble and projected forward in time to the precise moment of the End of the Universe. Many say this is impossible.

The restaurant building resembles a giant glittering starfish. In the arms of the star are the bars, the kitchens, the force-field generators and the Time Turbines. The heart of the star contains a large golden dome, almost a complete globe, where the main eating area is situated.[3]

Inside the restaurant

Once inside, guests take their places at tables and eat sumptuous meals while watching the whole of creation explode around them.

The restaurant is brilliantly decorated, with elegant chandeliers, which Trillian remarked were nice.[4] The bar at Milliways is eighty feet long, topped with marble and fronted with the skins fromtwenty thousand Anterean Mozaic Lizards.

The wine list is so large it comes in at least three volumes, as Zaphod Beeblebrox asked the waiter for the third volume.

Menu

Among the items on the menu when Arthur and his associates visited were the Dish of the Day, a very obliging Ameglian Major Cow and the somewhat less obliging vegetables in a green salad. Many cuts of the Ameglian Major Cow were available, such as shoulder braised in white wine sauce, grain fed rump, casserole, liver and steaks.

Many beverages were available at the restaurant including water, mineral water, insidious wines,[5] champagne[6] and Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters. However, tea was not available.

However, there was a sweet trolley and a fine selection of Aldebaran liqueurs available.
