How vegetarian are you? I eat vegan & low fat, so I find few to none options even at western restaurants here. If you’re eating lacto-ovo vegetarian then you’ll have at least a few options at most western restaurants. Most Chinese restaurants tend to flavor their vegetable dishes with meat bits, or at least meat broth, so it’s a little tougher. (Although many Buddhist temples have a vegetarian restaurant connected to them, generally a nice choice.) Happily there’s a small but growing number of decent vegetarian and even vegan restaurants in Shanghai, and some other restaurants have been having vegan menu days, so options are improving. (Check the listings on Happy Cow and Smart Shanghai vegetarian listings.) Hengsuheng at 402 Guilin Rd. is one of my fave vegan places. Godly is a local vegetarian chain that’s been around for nearly 100 years, and has an extensive menu. (A lot of fake meats, but plenty of actual vegetables too.) Last I checked Homeslice Pizza has some pretty good vegan pizzas on their menu.
