THE Silver Dollar is no more. It’s now under the ownership of Jonathan Huang and goes by the name Formosa Vegetarian Eating House. It is a 100 per cent vegetarian operation and opens today. Also receiving a breath of fresh air is the Cafe De Ja Vu site on the corner of William and Aberdeen Streets in Northbridge. After being vacant for a few months it now has a new owner and new name, Green Bamboo Restaurant.
