The
history of vegetarianism can be traced back 2500 years. Today, it is
becoming more and more popular in many eastern and western countries.
We very much want to thank those tourists from all over the world who love peace, and who prize our restaurant and its benefits. We believe this can be a great encouragement for young Tibetan Buddhists to begin to walk on the path of peaceful vegetarianism. |

Our
restaurant is considered to be the first completely vegetarian
restaurant in the snow land of Tibet. Established by Mr. Tshering
Puntsok in 2005, this restaurant fills an important gap among Tibetan
restaurants, by offering vegetarian food for the first time in the
history of Tibet. Our restaurant is smoke-free, alcohol-free, and
meat-free. We serve uniquely delicious soy-based meat substitutes that
all are imported from inner China (and that taste exactly like meat!).
Our excellent professional cooks and waitresses serve you in a quiet,
clean comfortable and beautiful space. It is like a refuge from the
world.
It
is a wonderful diet, in that it is both a diet of humanitarian
compassion, and at the same time is also a medically proven way to
cultivate your own health. Especially given our present-day concerns
about epidemics involving animal and bird products, a vegetarian diet
can help to avoid diseases such as bird flu and mad cow disease. A
vegetarian diet is also a suitable choice for principled Tibetan
Buddhists. It offers a way to express the Buddhist teachings on
compassion for all living things.
