Gong De Lin has enjoyed a great fame and became an important brand of vegetarian food. This traditional Buddhist vegetarian restaurant relies mostly on vegetables, tofu and mushrooms to create deceptively meat-like dishes but if you're not into mocking meat there are lots of veg dishes that don't pretend to be anything else. It manages to satisfy the appetites of the faithful, while at the same time attending to their spiritual needs.
There's plenty of mock-meat, They have a nice big picture menu with English.
I tried many dishes and my favourite was the tofu lamb shashlik. It was mildly spicy and just to my liking. If you visit Beijing often put it on your must eat at list even if you are not vegetarian!
the pictures are attractive. It is hard to believe the all these dishes are made by vegetables, tofu etc without meat. According to pictures, i will think the food was made by meat. Although I am not vegetarian, but i will try out when i visit Beijing.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you'd say one of these restaurants appeared in Buffalo recently or something! This looks like a place I would realllly want to go to. There needs to be more fake meat restaurants.
