As a moral or health concern, vegetarianism is not big in carnivorous Shanghai and is largely the preserve of conscientious Buddhists. If you eschew all meat, ordering vegetable dishes from standard restaurants may not guarantee a flesh-free meal, but if you want to be sure what’s pinched between your chopsticks, dine at the following. The elegantly refurbished Buddhist Gongdelin delivers a fine fleshless menu in a civilised ambience with spirtual overtones. Avoid accidentally ordering phoenix claws or duch’s neck at Zaozishu.
Gongdelin–Chinese vegetarian
The podgy effigy of Milefo and the faint aroma of temple incense hint at the Buddhist creed of this elegantly refitted vegetarian restaurant, housed in a red-brick bulding dating from 1922. The fleshiess food-served in a graceful environment of stone flagging and water features-delivers shots of good karma and energisting meat-free calories.

Huanghe Rd
Shanghai’s bustling food streets–jam-packed with snack talls and jostling diners eating on the move- have dwindled on the back of galloping development and more demanding palates. The handful of central food streets resting the times include Huanghe Rd north of Renmin Square, which remains a favourite for noodles and rouchuan. The section of Yunan Rd linking East Yan’an Rd and East Jinling Rd is a futher bustling strip of vocal kebab-sellers and snacks. For a full-on array of local snacks, trawl Wujiang Rd runing south of West Nanjing Rd and divided by Shimen No1 Rd.

The food can be excellent, but ever-persent waiting staff and the blinding lights of many Chinese restaurants can kill of a romantic soiree before the first drink arrives. M on the Bund concojures up just the right balance of choice setting and intimacy, while an escargot’s throw away, Jean Georges casts just the right sort of romantic magic over dinner. East of the river, Danieli’s delivers delicious nocturnal window-side views over to twinking Lujiazhui.
