cuisine=vegetarian is unhelpful, as it doesn't tell you what the cuisine 
actually is.
ie is it vegetarian Indian food, or Chinese, or wholefoods, or baked 
potatoes or falafel etc. So better to use the cuisine tag for those.

If you want to say a restaurant is entirely vegetarian, you can tag it 
as diet:vegetarian=only.
