Lin's Dining Lounge Description

Lin’s Dining Lounge doesn’t want to be known as a vegetarian restaurant. It wants to be known as a restaurant that happens to cook without meat. From typical North Chinese fare to western classics (including potato gratin and an outstanding shepherd’s pie), the restaurant has produced a varied, yet incredibly consistent menu of meat-free cuisine. The chefs have passed the stiffest test of vegetarian cooking: imitation meat. The mock sea whelks made from konjac, or ‘devil’s tongue’ (RMB38), are firm and muscular; the tofu ‘fish’ in chili oil (RMB188/218) retains bite while absorbing just the right amount of bracing spice.
