A
Vegetarian Lifestyle
These folks are surely improving their karma by making organic, vegetarian fare fashionable for the masses. There’s a wide range of clever dishes, including soup served in a pumpkin, but best are the sweet Wuxi spareribs (Y36), stuffed with lotus root of course, and the diverse clay pots (from Y26). No MSG is used and cooks go light on the oil.

Chi Lin Vegetarian
The location behind a waterfall and tasty vegetarian food, including steamed rice with mixed mushrooms, make dining here a superb way to begin or end your visit to Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden. The elegant Song Cha Xie (Pavilion of Pine and Tea) nearby specialises in the art of Chinese tea drinking.

Pure Lotus Vegetarian
A very smart, monk-run establishment, where the chefs do wonders with a mix of soybeans, tofu and vegetables. The dishes have wonderful names like ‘The ordinary one with virtue holds lightning’. It’s located in a forecourt just off Nongzhanguan Nanlu.

Gōngdé Sùcàiguǎn
Near the university, good, cheap, attractive restaurants line Siming Nanlu and Yanwu Jie. A decent vegetarian restaurant is Gōngdé Sùcàiguǎn . Try the monks' vegetables (罗汉斋; luóhàn zhāi).

Baihe Vegetarian Restaurant
All Beijing’s vegetarian restaurants present dishes masquerading as meat. Here, though, the selection – lamb kebabs and Peking duck – is more imaginative than usual, and extremely tasty. Service is courteous and the atmosphere relaxed. English menu.

Pure Lotus Vegetarian
At this very smart, monk-run establishment the dishes are a mix of soybean, tofu and vegetables, and have wonderful names such as ‘The ordinary one with virtue holds lightning’. But don’t expect any charity when it comes to the bill.

Restoran Nasi Padang Minang
Considered the best restaurant in town for Padang food, essentially a large buffet of rice that you scoop selected meats and vegetables onto – think fried fish, fried chicken, veg cooked in chilli paste and the like.

Chang Cheng Restaurant
The real deal for Chinese food, and often full of visiting Chinese business people and Chinese Tibetans who shout, smoke, slurp and burp their way through large portions of wonderfully spicy Sichuanese food.
