Forums > Food & Drink > Eating vegetarian on Fridays

There is a great new vegetarian restaurant in Bei Shi Qu called 爱有多深 (Ai You Duo Shen). It's off of 北辰中路 Bei Chen Zhong Lu in the plaza area near the Prague Cafe near not far from 北辰达到 Bei Chen Da Dao but on the other side of Bei Chen Zhong Lu from the Prague. Their phone number is 5724222. I have had two great meals there. It is a clean healthier Chinese stir-fry with no fake meat but lots of spice. Not too expensive and very nice staff and management. Highly recommended!

There used to be a great Dai restaurant on Qing Yun Jie opposite Ginko Elite and Moonlight corner. That location closed some time ago but the same woman has recently reopened her restaurant as a cooperation with HouGu Coffee inside the big yellow Jiang Wu Tang complex on the side of Green Lake. Just walk into the parking area and look for the big HouGu Coffee place. It doesn't look like a Dai restaurant when you walk in but I assure you it is. They have pretty much the same menu that they had on Qing Yun Jie, good stuff. My favorite Dai in Kunming.

I've believe there is Durex brand water-based lubricant available at many of the big medicine shops together with the condoms etc.

Can't use a debit card, for Zuche it had to be a credit card. Not sure if it is still possible for foreigners to get one as it seems like things have changed a little but I got mine from Bank of Communication a few years ago. Definitely worth a try.

In my experience the main problem I ran into besides having the driver's license for renting a car from someone like zuche was needing a Chinese credit card for the deposit. There didn't seem to be a way around it. Eventually I got a credit card and it was fine.

I forgot about this little place for many years, but the other day I was in the mood for hotpot and decided to take a look at the menu. Being vegetarian I was under the impression that they wouldn't have much in the way of veggie options but to my delight they have a veggie set meal and many good options which you can order individually. I feel silly for not having checked earlier. Of course much of the menu has meat options and you can get the split hotpot bowl so everyone can have what they want. I'll definitely be adding this into the rotation. Nice little option right in Wen Hua Xiang.

Love this place. One of the best hidden gems in Kunming. The food is all clean and locally sourced and made with creativity and care. The building is interesting and if weather is good sitting outside is awesome. The homemade tofu skin is to die for as well as most of the other dishes on the menu. They also have a lot of very interesting seasonal specials that keep things interesting. Word on the street is that they aren't doing super well these days though. I hope this old favorite gets a new wave of love!

I love this place! I found it on Baidu maps last October and have been going quite regularly since then and have seen marked improvement in my archery skill. It's so nice to have a new cool thing like this to do in Kunming, and so conveniently located! (For me anyway) It is worth noting that in order to practice there you will need to take a class with the owner to get you familiar with the gear, technique and safety and that this instruction is only available in Chinese. Without this initial class he won't let you practice there unless you can somehow prove that you are already a skilled archer so you'll want to go with a friend that speaks good Chinese if you aren't fluent. 50 kuai an hour for non-members, 30 kuai for members. Membership requires putting some money in an account there, think it's around 200 kuai. The initial class is included in the hourly rate. There are an assortment of different difficulty levels of bows so beginners, kids, and people with lower strength levels can get in on the fun too. Great place for a date! Rule #1 Never, ever dry-fire a bow without an arrow in it!

Nice place, a little hard to find the first time but just give a call and they'll help you find it. Really enjoy the quiet locale and the pizza is really good. Great job!
