I rarely recommend vegetarian restaurants, but thi I rarely recommend vegetarian restaurants, but this one is worth shouting about!

Salt-Less 淡盐

A creative restaurant in Shanghai’s Jing’an district that will change your perception about how tasty vegetarian food can be. As a carnivore, it really did impress. And contrary to its name, the food here is plenty flavorful. 

Also, if you’re allergic to shellfish, they do a vegetarian version of crab roe noodles that comes pretty close to the real thing. Great if you want to see what all the fuss is about.

The never ending blizzard of white truffles! More on this later — still wrapping my head around the amount of white truffles I had in one meal 😆 from not one but three chefs!

Thank you so much for having me @nick_rotella @ottoemezzobombanashanghai @ottoemezzobombana_hongkong @umbertobombana @ottoemezzobombana_macau @marinodantonio
