Deserts – The Falafel Oasis (reviews, map, 905 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-251-4171) is a very casual vegetarian / vegan restaurant that serves Indian-style food.

The restaurant appears to be under new ownership, and from what I can tell, the food has improved, but the place seems to be a bit messier than before. This is definitely not a place to take someone to impress them! However if you want to get full on tasty vegetarian food for $6.00, order their “Chef’s special” (pictured below) and if it’s a nice day, take your plate out to the small patio.

Lime Restaurant (web site, 1130 Commercial Dr., Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-215-1130) has a unique concept – combine modern Japanese cooking with live music provided by local artists. This is definitely a place worth visiting. Check out their web site for the music schedule as well as some great photos of their chefs and menu selections.
