Hungry Buddha

Yunnan


The most sophisticated eatery in town and one of the most notable in all Yunnan, with a mouth-watering all-vegetarian Italian menu utilising locally produced ingredients across the authentic menu. The range of options is limited but delicious, and there's a proper wine list, too.

There are only 10 spots at the wooden counter where you eat and watch your meal being prepared, so grab one early.
