This place is all around good. Feel good, tastes good, everything good. As a vegetarian I already give a thumbs up to places that present vegetarian and mock meat options in a friendly, laid back way. You don't have to eat it, it doesn't have stupid flowery names, but it's there and you can try it while reading an accessible and reasonable explanation on their approach to sustainable eating. That's really cool and I wish more vegetarian restaurants could take that approach. Good job on that.

That aside, this food RULES. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are great, and the portions are well sized. I like to go with a group so I can eat as much as possible haha. Drink prices are a little high but the food prices are average for the area. Definitely a chill place, go eat and give them your money so they can stick around.

Located on popular Nanluoguxiang, this is conveniently located if you are visiting Houhai, Beihai, the Drum or Bell Tower or other 'lao Beijing and hutong must see sights'.

This is a great place to go if you've got a mixed group of vegetarians and meateaters.

My parents and I ate here together when they visited Beijing and my dad enjoyed a meat dish, while mum and I had some great soup and noodles, and a rice veggie dish.
The ingredient of each dish is clearly marked, and they even double checked whether or not I wanted the egg (that was supposed to be on the top of my Veggie Rice).

The staff are lovely and can answer any questions if you are unsure. The manager also speaks fluent English and French.

I've eaten here twice so far and both times enjoyed the intimate and somewhat trendy atmosphere.

NO MSG.
