Compared with many vegetarian restaurants, Gan Lulin is a relatively special existence, the restaurant has neither any religious meaning, nor Zen elements, the colorful interior decoration and petty bourgeoisie style ornaments are more like boutique Western restaurants, which is refreshing, and has become the new favorite of Shanghai's vegetarian circle in just one year after opening.
The name of the restaurant "Borderless" is the positioning of Ganlulin's food, and the restaurant focuses on the hottest "Borderless Dining", which covers a variety of Chinese and Western dishes, salads and refreshments. Peanut sprouts are a cold dish with a high order rate, fresh peanut sprouts are fresh and refreshing, and will have a crunchy texture and fresh sweetness, which is relatively rare in vegetarian restaurants in Shanghai, and diners who have never tasted it may wish to try it. Sweet and sour pork ribs are Ganlulin's signature dish, but the reviews are mixed, and many diners have reported that this dish is too sweet, so it is recommended to choose carefully.
Gan Lulin is located on the 4th floor of 889 Square on Wanhangdu Road, and you can see conspicuous signboards when you go up to the 4th floor, which is easier to find. The restaurant's exquisite decoration and special "birdcage seat" is a reason for many diners to visit the experience, and if you want to choose a birdcage seat, it is best to make a reservation in advance. Compared with other long-established vegetarian restaurants, the price of Ganlulin's dishes is not affordable, and the service staff usually tells customers to recharge 1,000 yuan to enjoy a lower membership discount, but we still recommend that diners decide whether to recharge after tasting, and do not be impulsive. The service level of the restaurant is relatively good, the service staff is professional and meticulous, the service is in place, compared with the taste of the dishes, the environment and service of Ganlulin may be better.
