Zhongshan District, Taipei City｜長春食素名人館

This is one of the best of the series of upscale Chinese vegetarian restaurants I've visited that takes pride in replicating traditional dishes with lookalike faux meat and seafood dishes. I pretty much enjoyed every dish I sampled, and I definitely tried a majority of them. The dim sum variety was my first stop because it's usually not so easy to have every dish vegetarian friendly. They're great. Next stop, faux sushi, intriguing - and better than just edible - but not a perfect replacement. I'd approach the buffet with a tasting menu approach so you can cover more ground. Then go back for your favorites. And save room for dessert!

I’m genuinely surprised that I found this hidden gem here in Taiwan even though it’s such a vegetarian paradise already. Disclaimer: I wrote this review because I wanted a free dessert, but this place is honestly amazing and I would write this review as many times without any compensation as well.

The dishes are diverse and delicious.
