Glancing through All Natural Vegetarian Restaurant's mouthwatering menu, you may soon forget that you're there to eat vegetarian. After all, French Style Lamb Chop With Black Olive Sauce, and Spaghetti With Minced Meat In Rose Sauce are not your typical salad and tofu. But rest assured, the names are purely for illustrative purposes, and no meat or meat products are used. All the dishes, from light snacks, pasta, hot pots and teppanyaki to combination meals, are the creations of owner and head chef Juan and his wife.

With 20 years of vegetarian banquet experience under his belt, Juan works passionately towards expanding and reinventing vegetarian cuisine. His specialties include Wild Monkey's Head Mushroom With Red and White Sauce, Pumpkin Soup Hot Pot, and Chef's Special Sashimi. The teppanyaki menu is also unique, offering a variety of fascinating dishes such as Pork With Barbeque Sauce and Cod With Orange Sauce, with the different "meat" textures created with specific combinations of beans, wheat and Japanese konnyaku jelly. Dishes range from NT$100 to NT$600, and arrive exquisitely decorated, French-style, to enhance the dining experience.
