While another meat-heavy restaurant opens in the city, we vegetarians find we seem to be running out of places to dine with our green specifications. It’s a shame that so many restaurants are paying attention into improving their non-vegetarian side of the menu but leaving the herbivore side is sadly left lacking. It’s because of this gap that we prefer dining at our favorite veggie establishment ‘Prive Restaurant’, where blessedly there is not a single dish of meat in sight.
