Lonely Planet review

Shanghai's second-oldest vegetarian restaurant (opened in 1922), Gōngdélín never fails to perplex Western vegetarians - nearly everything on the menu is prepared to resemble meat! Don't worry though, the beef with shacha sauce and the sesame chicken rolls are actually made of tofu, no matter how convincing they look. You can dine very cheaply here, or splash out on the big set menu. English menu.

The stone and wood interior is rather austere, although the Venetian blinds, honeycombed lamps and a couple of Buddhist statues lighten the atmosphere a little.
