Shanghai

One of the most popular vegetarian restaurants in Shanghai is Jujube Tree. Among westerners, it is also known by its uninspiring English name Vegetarian Lifestyle; you can read a review here.

The restaurant features a traditional vegetarian Chinese menu with some simulated meats made to resemble pork, beef, duck, etc. Eggs are not used in preparation, but gluten is often used as a substitute, and there is rice. If you wish to avoid gluten, then you should ask your hostess what dishes you should avoid.

Dinners average 50-100 yuan per person. A set lunch is available for 18 yuan. There are three restaurants in the Shanghai area. Reservations for eight or more people are required; please note that because of good business they only hold reservations no more than 10 minutes, so try to be punctual!
