Vegetarian Restaurants in Chengdu

Wenshu Monastery

XinXiang Vegetarian Restaurant

文殊院心香楼素食餐厅

Within Wenshu Monastery, you’ll find a bustling teahouse, a buffet-style lunchroom, and a restaurant on the first floor. The teahouse is perfect for a quick thirst-quencher, offering freshly made juices as well as tea. Located inside the temple grounds, the vegetarian restaurant provides a buffet-style dining area downstairs and menu dining upstairs. The buffet lunchroom has a relaxed atmosphere where you can build your own meal. However, the restaurant upstairs offers the most well-crafted dishes.

If you’re a vegetarian new to Chengdu, Wenshu Monastery is an ideal place to start. Additionally, when visiting the buffet, we recommend trying the noodle restaurant just outside the temple, the one with the queue. Their Tian Shui Mian is vegetarian and one of the most famous dishes in Chengdu.

A Lotus on the Water

清水荷花素食餐厅

The reliable chain of restaurants offer buffet-style lunches where it is best to arrive earlier to ensure you get the best choice. Alternatively they also offer a more traditional a la carte menu – though the cost is slightly higher. With reasonable prices and great food, this chain of veggie restaurants is worth a try – especially the Wenshu Monastery flagship branch as it is particularly good.
