SHANGHAI VEGAN BREAKFAST TOUR

  • SHANGHAI VEGAN BREAKFAST TOUR

  • Morning Street Food Tour
  • 100% Vegan
  • 3 Hour Breakfast Experience

Whether you’re a full-time vegan or just a flexitarian looking to reduce your meat consumption, this 100% vegan tour will introduce you to a brand-new world of breakfast dining in Shanghai. On this plant-based tour, you’ll get off the beaten path to sample breakfast treats that are customized to the vegan diet, as well as some fully vegan specialties you didn’t even know existed! While strolling through the beautiful former French Concession, you’ll meet our trusted vendors and sample freshly-pulled noodles, the “butter” of soy milk, pan-fried dumplings stuffed with homemade tofu, and so much more.

**Please note: this tour is not an exploration of purely vegan restaurants. It’s a way for UnTour to show you how to eat vegan and find vegan options at local restaurants around town. We will be visiting some restaurants that also serve meat dishes and thus the dishes will be prepped in a kitchen that also has animal products. All dishes served on the tour will be vegan.**

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS

Vegetarians are more than welcome and will find plenty to eat as every dish is vegan!

This tour is designed for you! 100% Vegan!

We are not able to make substitutions for those with gluten free restrictions and/or celiacs disease as dumpling wrappers, noodles, soy sauce, and aged vinegar is very prevalent in our tour stops.

Nut allergies have not been a problem in the past, however we cannot guarantee that the utensils and other cooking tools have not touched any of the food tour ingredients. Please bring your epi pen or other meds to the tour if you choose to participate.

This tour is 100% vegan so there won’t be any shellfish in the dishes!

"UnTour’s street eats breakfast tour starts with a tasting of three of Shanghai’s four most popular breakfast foods, collectively known as the “four heavenly kings”. There are crispy, oily, fried youtiao doughnuts, which are dipped into a freshly made sweetened soy milk that also helps wash down a dense cifantuan rice ball."
As featured in The Guardian's "20 of the best food tours around the world" list, June 2019
UnTour even made it possible for myself (a vegetarian) and my boyfriend (a vegan) to enjoy local cuisine! We were not sure how much we would be able to eat but with the help of Mitch, our guide, we were able to eat a TON. We left very full and extremely satisfied. This is a must do tour for people visiting Shanghai!
