Maybe you should put this is in a law section or something of that sort? You might get more answers.

You should really get a lawyer before you go out and try to find people to sue. That way he can tell you if you are wasting your time or not. You are really better off doing this in the states. There are lawyers that specialise in that kind of BS.

How did they misrepresent the food? The vegetable soup was made with chicken broth? A vegetarian named dish contained fish? Personally, I’m smart enough to ask what is and isn’t in the food, beyond the menu description. If the server says s/he does not know and doesn’t bother to ask the kitchen staff, I not only do not get the item, but lower the tip. One time, my husband, his sister (who is vegetarian, but still eats a lot of what I would call junk), and his parents and I were at a steak restaurant. Now, I don’t mind steak restaurants. I can get a baked sweet potato (usually) and a couple of other safe sides beyond the iceberg lettuce plate. The smart waitress caught on to my SIL’s and my orders and asked if we were vegetarian. My SIL had to brag that she is vegetarian and I’m vegan. (I don’t offer that information unless asked. It’s part of whom I am, but still not a big deal to me.) She informed us that the potatoes are dipped in beef grease. Even my husband and his parents who regularly eat greasy, fried foods (and it shows) were disgusted. We have not returned to that restaurant. (This was after I asked if the green beans had ham in them and a few other little things.)
You MIGHT be able to sue, but I doubt it. It comes down to common sense. Ask what is and isn’t in the dish. If it looks suspicious then don’t order it and either leave the restaurant or just order coffee and water and a good beer. (Labast is good for a light beer, but I’m sure the really good stuff [not Bud or the equivalent) can also be found in Canada.) Also, don’t return and tell your veg friends about your experience so they can decide if they want to patronize the place. Even my omni husband won’t return to a place (with me at least) if it’s not friendly. Overall, my family and I had a bad experience with that restaurant and we did not return.

get real… besides there’s so many foods that aren’t vegetarian this case wouldn’t hold in any reasonable court.
as a sensible vegan of 34 years that i am… i know that restaurants aren’t vegetarian/vegan, processed foods aren’t vegan/vegetarian….
many products are not!
i’m not surprised they don’t have vegetarian food and that most accused vegetarian things are MOST certainly NOT vegetarian.
this is NOT NEWS.
one i believe must start educating themselves, agreed?
