In recent years, Nanjing's dining scene has boomed with a wide variety of restaurants, but in the hustle and bustle of the city, people often long for a quiet and elegant place to enjoy a quiet meal.
In my many explorations, I have found a few restaurants that have captured my heart and soul, and I'd like to share them with you today.
1. Yuran Yayuan: A Quiet, Private Space
On a whim, I discovered a restaurant in the center of town called Yuran Yayuan. Tucked away in an alleyway, the entrance is unassuming, but as soon as I stepped inside, I felt as if I had traveled into a secret place of tranquility.
The freshly landscaped courtyard and the maze of seats reveal a tranquil atmosphere. I remember the first time I visited, I sat there, closed my eyes, and felt the hustle and bustle of the city fading away, and my heart became calm and serene.
The environment here is truly a contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. Pushing the door open, it's as if you've entered a whole different world. What I will never forget is the dinner I had there.
I ordered a few vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, each of which showed the chef's skill. The original flavor of those ingredients was preserved, and the freshness of the ingredients was felt in every bite.
Not only that, but the attentive service of the waiters adds to the whole dining experience. And it was this meticulousness that made me feel at home in this quiet corner.

As a vegetarian lover, I used to go around Nanjing searching for a vegan restaurant that would make me mesmerized. Finally, I found the place I was looking for, "Qing Xin Vegetarian House" on Lime Lane. This place won my heart with its food and tranquility.
When I walk into the restaurant, I can always feel a different atmosphere. The elegant decoration, like an ink painting, fits perfectly with the freshness of vegetarian food. Every time I come here, I seem to be able to isolate myself from the chaos of the outside world, and my mind is purified. This serenity, as if a flavor, quietly spread between the taste buds.
What keeps me coming back to this restaurant is its unique vegetarian dishes. Not only did they bring out the freshness of the vegetables, but they also innovatively turned traditional meat dishes into vegetarian delights.
Whether it's the Kung Pao Vegetarian Chicken or the Spicy Vegetarian Shrimp, each dish inadvertently subverts the stereotypical image that many people have of vegetarian food. I remember the first time I tasted those delicacies, and I couldn't help but marvel that vegetarian food can be so rich and varied, so evocative.
