Tian He Cai Gen - Quanzhou

Shaolin Temple is located nearby, so they can kill two birds with one stone by visiting both places. Before or after dining at the restaurant, one can also visit the temple. The menu is likely vegan, but definitely vegetarian since the monks dine here. Options include raw fruits and lightly cooked vegetables. The cooked dishes are usually oily, but delicious nonetheless. At a cost of 33 RMB, it's a great value for the money. Arriving early ensures the best portions. This restaurant is very popular among locals and monks.

This spacious buffet restaurant offers a stunning interior and an outdoor terrace for seating. They offer a wide variety of delicious Fujian style dishes. It is conveniently located in a corner building on a main road, with three large Chinese signs to help you find it easily. At 28 yuan for all-you-can-eat, it is definitely worth the price for the quality of food and atmosphere. They also offer discounts for children, students, and seniors. I highly recommend dining here if you are in Quanzhou.
