The Lakeside Veggie (Longhua)

The Lakeside Veggie, or Linhu Sushi, is a vegetarian restaurant near Longhua Temple in Xuhui, and it carries a Bib Gourmand in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Shanghai for good cooking at a fair price. The kitchen cooks homey Jiangnan and Chinese dishes and leans away from mock meat, so vegetables, beancurd and mushrooms are treated as the point rather than as substitutes. It sits on the second floor of a shopping centre and draws a steady crowd of temple visitors, particularly around Buddhist observance days, when arriving early is the difference between lunch and a queue.
