Lime Restaurant
Lime Restaurant advertises itself as a "gourmet natural foods restaurant" with an emphasis on vegetarian cuisine. Carnivores can relax, however, because alongside the "carrot loaf" and "tofu in oriental orange sauce," meaty delights such as steaks, chicken and shrimp are also on the menu.
