Re-opening at a new location - Edit
The restaurant is now located in a shopping mall in Pudong. Search for Green Friday Chunjingsu Garden Restaurant (Binjiang Guanghe New Block Shop)
Read moreTai soup is a must try! Avocado with soy and wasabi sauce was a great experience. I will definitely repeat it at home.
Croissants are delicious. Can’t imagine how they bake them vegan!
I didn’t like the „fish“, because it tasted really as a fish…
The place is worth coming and is visited surprisingly well by the locals.
Pros: Croissants, The owner is present, Vegan cosmetics
Cons: „Fish“

👌🏻 - Edit
All vegan. Varied and large menu with a range of cuisines. Delicious food. Staff speak English. Good service. Little vegan store with cosmetic products and other bits. Nice experience. As good as you’ll find for a lunch/brunch spot.

Scammers. Avoid this place. - Edit
I ordered Tempeh Ciabatta. They advertise it as a large sandwich with thick tempeh and plenty of salad. See the photos. It is 78rmb which is expensive for a sandwich but thinking it is a large sandwich, I decided to give it a try. What I received was a tiny sandwich the length of my finger with a thin patty and a little salad missing half the ingredients. Very disappointed that I was scammed by these people.

This place is just one word! Amazing went here a couple of times during covid (normally don’t have much time) dishes are super tasty and the chef was super nice. As he was not vegan he kept asking us to taste his creations. Best vegan cheese I have tasted and The tiramisu is a must order

Too Good To Be True - Edit
A non-vegan friend suggested this place to me as it is a ten minute walk from where we live. If you are travelling by metro it's on Line 1, either Xujahui exit 1 or Shanghai Indoor Stadium exit 8. The building is on street level with a big sign in English, there are some outdoor seats with more indoor & upstairs, it also sells plants. I was skeptical until I saw the menu, the head waiter seemed a little unsure at first but then assured us that the menu is purely plant based including the cheese and meats. We went for lunch with our friends, they had the Caprese salad with vegan mozzarella, it looked so fresh, and the avocado & omelette on toast, they use Just Egg. We all had the polenta skewers with home made peanut satay which were crisp and delcious. I had the mini smoky burgers which there were 3 of, the flavours, texture was fantastic. My girlfriend had the Pad Thai, so great. I feel like this place has really given something new to the vegan scene in Shanghai and it could be too bad for me as it's so close to home! I'm looking to revisit this weekend with fellow vegans and non-vegans, I will update afterwards.
Read moreSo just back from my third visit in 7 days, this place is great & going to be very popular with vegans in Shanghai. The burger is delicious, great tasty crisp patty, fresh ingredients dressed the bun, comes with a simple kale & tomato side salad & home made crisps. We tried a little of the pumpkin mooncake, like a spring roll, also good. Our vegan & non-vegan friends enjoyed too. My friend tried the creme brulee, it was ok but chocolate & not really like a traditional one. The manager James is extremely friendly & immediately put the Happy Cow excellent reviews sticker on the door.
After the initial excitement of this place opening and having been more than half a dozen times, I'm seeing it in a slightly different light. It feels like it's not quite matching it's claims on certain dishes, for example the black rice risotto which was not like a risotto but more like black rice with some mushroom & garlic sauce on top, the pumpkin mooncakes could've done with a hint of spice like cinnamon or nutmeg otherwise they're just hot fried things that need the dipping sauce to add flavour. The burger is very good & messy but in my opinion the big wedge of mango doesn't add anything except to making it more awkward to eat, I'd prefer they kept it simple, lettuce, onion, tomato & pickle.

It's okay - Edit
This is my first restaurant that I found through happycow. I had a choice - go again to my beloved Green Vege or try something new. I tried something new, Green Friday, and, when leaving, I felt disappointed.
Read moreIn general the food was alright, though I don't have the same cravings for it as for Green Vege's food. The interior is great! But when I saw the flower shop, the design, the second floor, etc my mind immediately went "uh-oh the menu will be pricey", which it was (more pricey than Green Vege's).
There were three issues that made me feel uncomfortable which, I guess, are at no fault of the restaurant.
1. The staff by the door didn't know what " vegan" is.
2. There was one hair in my food (not a great first impression), but I'm not picky, I just removed it myself without saying anything. Strangely the waiter saw me doing that and also said nothing (I guess he dropped it when he was bringing the plate.
3. I'm used to getting stared at everywhere (I'm easy on the eyes), but it's annoying when I try to eat and the waiter keeps staring at me from afar. Losing appetite this way very quickly ...
Pros: Vegan, Interior
Cons: Pricey, Waiters need more training
KhloeLi
Hi Karen, we are sorry to hear about your experience in our restaurant. We appreciate that you like our restaurant interior design. Next time we'll pay attention to the prices setting and employee training. Again, we apologize for your unsatisfying experience and look forward to serving you in the future!

Delightful food and atmosphere - Edit
We really enjoyed Green Friday. Great food selection, fantastic presentation, and beautiful environment. The mini smoked burgers and mooncakes were great. The crème brûlée was divine.
Read moreA couple of the dishes were good, but not fantastic - for the price, I expected a little bit more in terms of flavors. Still, I'd be happy to return.

Yummy - Edit
Great vegan restaurant. We were slightly confused at first whether this place was completely vegan. However, after speaking to the owner and the Vegans of Shanghai group they confirmed it definitely was. The ambience inside is incredible, really fresh, friendly and with plants everywhere it felt so green. The food itself isn’t the cheapest but by no means the dearest in Shanghai. Lots of choice and great for non vegan friends (I’m sure lots of the clientele there didn’t know it was vegan). We had a variety of dishes, all of which were very tasty and they offer a variety of western and Asian dishes. They also have some creamy vegan desserts. Great experience and will definitely be back.
Read morePros: Vegan, Great choice, Friendly staff
