Taiwan Humane Group is Taiwan's No. 1 vegetarian brand, which has been operating vegetarian catering for more than 30 years, and has opened vegetarian restaurants in Taipei, Kaohsiung and Shanghai.

When it comes to vegetarian food, friends who don't know about it may think of eating fasting and chanting Buddha, but in fact, there is a difference between vegetarian food and vegetarian cuisine, which refers to food cooked by temple personnel in the temple, while vegetarian cuisine refers to vegetarian restaurants for the public. Zhai dishes are generally vegan, that is, do not contain egg and dairy products and do not contain the usual seasoning of green onions, ginger, garlic, shallots, leeks and other five-spice condiments, most of the ingredients come from the "three mushrooms and six ears", that is, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, mushrooms, black fungus, white fungus, cloud fungus, ground fungus, stone fungus and white fungus. In addition to vegan, vegetarian dishes are usually vegetarian and custarto-vegetarian. Vegans do not eat eggs, milk and other animal-related foods, but can eat meals with five spices, and ovo-lacto-vegetarian has a wider range, like ordinary egg and dairy products. Like most vegetarian restaurants, the menu includes vegan, vegan and ovo-lacto-vegetarian dishes.

The restaurant is located in the back building of Jing'an Temple, and many diners will stop by to try vegetarian food after visiting the temple. The restaurant has four floors, the first floor is the bakery and fast food area, the fast food here is light, it is a "big canteen" for many vegetarian lovers, if you are with friends, you can also order a vegetarian hot pot, the vegetarian platter is super generous. On the second floor is the Specialty Menu, where diners can order a la carte menu with a variety of Chinese and Western vegetarian dishes to choose from. On the third floor is the Lianxiangzhai vegetarian buffet, which serves more than 200 dishes, including Chinese, Italian, Japanese and other classic vegetarian dishes from different countries. On the fourth floor is a multi-functional banquet hall and a luxurious private room, which is suitable for business banquets or gatherings of friends.

The boutique restaurant area on the second floor offers a variety of Chinese and Western vegetarian dishes, including sweet and sour pork ribs, husband and wife lung slices, sizzling cod and other imitation meat and vegetarian dishes. At present, most vegetarian restaurants on the market take the route of imitation meat, but in fact, in the cooking process of this kind of dish, they often add more oil and condiments to increase the flavor and taste of vegetarian food, so that they consume more invisible fat. On the other hand, nutrition experts have also pointed out many times that long-term intake of only vegan food may lead to a lack of vitamin B12, calcium, zinc and other trace elements, most plant foods in the absorption rate of iron is not high, prone to iron deficiency anemia and other diseases, for the growth and development of children, it may also lead to stunted growth, a single vegetarian diet is by no means a healthy lifestyle. We recommend a diversified diet, only the right combination of meat and vegetables can maintain a comprehensive nutrition, and occasionally eat a vegetarian diet to change the taste, so that it is the right vegetarian life.

In addition to imitation vegetarian dishes, there are also common vegetarian dishes such as lion's mane mushrooms, walnut mushrooms, bamboo fungus, etc., and new seasonal vegetable dishes are also available. In general, there are a wide variety of options, and the stability of the restaurant is high, and there are few cases where the chef misses. Humane International Group has many years of experience in food and beverage management, so the quality of the restaurant's service is also good. All the service staff wear neat white shirts and black aprons, and will ask customers if there is any taboo food when ordering, refill the water and remove the excess tableware in a very timely manner, and the service process is professional and courteous, quite the style of a Western-style restaurant.

The restaurant's four floors are decorated in a Chinese style, with red and black as the main colors, and each floor has small, medium and large tables, and multiple wooden screens divide the dining area into several areas. There are many glass jars neatly arranged on the shelves on the walls, and the inside contains a variety of ingredients, which looks quite spectacular. Humane vegetarian dishes have been quite popular since their opening, and if you want to order a meal with multiple people in the boutique area on the second floor, it is recommended to make a reservation 1-2 days in advance.
