This restaurant is the only vegetarian restaurant that I know of in Chengdu. It is located within the Wenshu Buddhist Monastery, hence it is vegetarian. I’ll have to agree with the Lonely Planet’s review which labels the cuisine as excellent. There is an enormous menu full of veggie and tofu dishes as well as many offering faux meat. The menu is in English too! Don’t be afraid of the spicy dishes which are measured with 1, 2, or 3 red peppers on the menu. I tried a few dishes that were of supposedly ’medium’ level spice and they were barely spicy at all.
Directions: The restaurant is inside the Wenshu Monastery on Xizhushi Jie, just off of Renmin Zhonglu. Entrance to the monastery is only 5 yuan. Once inside, walk towards the east side of the grounds (the right side) and you will find the restaurant in a few minutes. Buses 16 and 99 run along Renmin Lu, so hop off once you see the red walls of the monastery or see Xizhushi Jie (street).
