Fuquan Academy Vegetarian is a representative restaurant of affordable vegetarian food in Hangzhou, and has won the honors of "Top Ten Most Popular Vegetarian Restaurants in Hangzhou" and "Zhejiang Famous Vegetarian Restaurant" issued by the Hangzhou Commission of Commerce and Zhejiang Vegetarian Committee.
The main courtyard of Fuquan Academy is located in Zijin Square on Gudun Road, and the branch is next to the Huanglong Training Hall, and there are vegetarian restaurants in both places, but the form is slightly different. The dining in the lobby of Zijin store is a la carte, and the private room is a Chinese-style table meal, with a fixed standard for each table, divided into three grades: 128 yuan/person, 168 yuan/person, and 188 yuan/person. Huanglong shop can be a la carte, can also directly choose the package, the package is divided into 88 yuan, 128 yuan two grades, each package contains 8 dishes, the dishes are similar to Western food, the plate is exquisite, the ingredients are more abundant.
The current chef of Zijin Restaurant, Chef Ada, has been engaged in vegetarian catering for many years, and the restaurant's dishes are developed by him, of which 30% of the dishes are fixed throughout the year, and the rest change according to the season. Fresh mushrooms are Ada's specialty dish, and each shiitake mushroom is covered with a cross knife, which not only has a clever shape, but also helps the juice to soak in when simmering, and the selected shiitake mushrooms are full and firm, and the mushrooms are fragrant and juicy. Grab the fried tofu puree and fry the old tofu with a simmer until it is dry and yellow, and the end of the tofu is fragrant in the mouth, especially for rice.
The basil tofu in Huanglongdian is different from the fried tofu, and the method of frying each piece of tofu over low heat not only makes each piece of tofu fragrant on the outside and smooth on the inside, but also retains the integrity of its form. The potato salad is slightly sweeter than other dishes, and the restaurant sprinkles a lot of potato chip crumbs on the surface of the salad, and the crispiness of the potato chips blends into the denseness of the mashed potatoes, which has a significant sense of conflict.
Zijin Store is located in the office building of Zijin Plaza, adjacent to Zhejiang University, where teachers and students often hold activities on weekends, the restaurant is elegantly decorated, the desks and futons are neat, and the atmosphere of Buddhism and Zen is strong. The Huanglong store is facing the Huanglong food stalls, quiet in the middle of the noise, and the store is mostly decorated with calligraphy and paintings, books, and Buddhist scriptures and slogans, giving people a quiet and peaceful appearance. The service staff of both restaurants are more friendly, and the service is gentle and thoughtful, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, but they have little understanding of the dishes and their professionalism needs to be improved. The restaurant's various dishes need to be prepared in advance, so diners must make a reservation in advance if they choose a table meal or a set menu.
