Is it permissible to eat vegetarian food at a non-Muslim restaurant which does not sell meat, chicken and alcohol?

Question

Is it permissible to eat vegetarian food at a non-Muslim restaurant which does not sell meat, chicken and alcohol?

Answer

It is not permissible regardless of the non-Muslim not dealing in haraam meat and liquor. There is no way of ascertaining whether all the ingredients used are halaal. Furthermore, eating with non-Muslims or in a kuffaar environment in public, is spiritually detrimental.
