élément — Restaurant in Da'an District

Here are some of the dishes I tried:

Stinky Tofu pasta 🍝 : A fusion dish that's surprisingly delicious. The stinky tofu flavor is subtle but complements the pasta perfectly.

Margarita Pizza : Not a traditional pizza, but it’s super fresh. At first, I was confused by the look, but after the first bite, I felt like I had entered another world. The use of balsamic vinegar adds a unique twist.

🥗 salads: Huge portions that are perfect for sharing. A salad can easily serve 3 to 4 people.

Black Truffle Risotto: This dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced—definitely a must-try. You can also add extra egg on it.

Soups 🥣: Both the onion soup and the crispy pastry soup were fantastic. They were creamy and had the perfect balance of flavors—neither too heavy nor too light. The textures were great, and the taste was spot on.

I really love this restaurant, and I have visited it twice. The first time was at night, and the second time was for lunch. The decoration is quite unique.

The specialty of the meal is a fusion of French delicacies, Chinese ingredients, and a wide range of spices, making every bite subtly different. I have never tasted dishes like the baked figs with blue cheese or the cheese bread with fermented tofu before.

The owners of the restaurant turned vegetarian years ago after learning about the cruel feeding methods of pigs and cow. They also found themselves feeling lethargic after eating at many restaurants that use excessive additives, prompting them to cook their own vegetarian meals. The owner's wife has experience studying in Switzerland and worked as a chef in restaurant in Paris. With their own unique philosophy, they studied culinary arts and elevated vegetarian cuisine to another level.

This vegetarian restaurant, which even meat lovers will enjoy, comes highly...

Guys, I don't really know what to say other than: Omg, although the presentation of the food is indisputable beautiful, the tasteeee is just not what youd expect in the best way possible. So many flavors so manyyyyy. I loved each dish. We were amongst dear friends today so we went a bit nuts with the amount we ordered. I didn't take pics of everything. The store is quite pretty as well but the food spoke way louder. Normally I'd say 1000 per person if enough for a good meal but we ordered double in celebration so 2000. Ended up with a need for a stroll and luckily the surroundings provided good strolling possibilities. There's parking 5 mins walk away. Come here at least once if you have the...
