Super fresh - Edit
A local vegan friend recommended this place after a hike at Shoushan. The restaurant is very small, so I highly recommend making a reservation, particularly on weekends. They were out of indoor tables when we arrived for lunch on a Saturday, but we were okay with sitting outside in the summer heat. The owner offered to decide on the entrees for us so that we could taste some of their favorites. I specified that we are vegan, as well as the set menu upgrade we wanted (A = salad & beverage); so he took it from there.
Read moreThe pizza was half margherita, half Roman’s pizza bianca with Violife cheese. The crust reminded me of airy, crunchy Japanese rice crackers, which wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but it was still enjoyable. Be careful of the zucchini and potato slices slipping off the pizza if you’re not holding it parallel to the ground! ⚠️
The pasta was spaghetti with asparagus and pesto sauce, but there were so many other fresh vegetables on it: king oyster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, beech mushrooms, white button mushrooms, baby corn, yellow squash, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. We wondered where they get their produce from. The pasta tasted handmade and was perfectly al dente.
The mango juice was refreshing and perfect on a hot day. And the salad was one of the closest I’ve had to something I’d order in the States: not drowned in fresh fruit and Thousand Island style dressing.
I really enjoyed our meal there despite having to put up with the heat. Prices are a bit higher, but the freshness of the produce and the quality of the pasta made it all worth the added expense.
Pros: good vegan options, excellent spaghetti, really fresh produce
Cons: limited seating
