At Hungry Lung's Kitchen they love humble and tasty food that is cheese-covered and straight to the point. Their meaty beef lasagna is a perfect example. Beef, onions, cheeses, tomato.... at HLK they want to make sure that your stomach is 100% satisfied when you leave. Just in case you’re a really big eater, they’ve got garlic bread and sautéed mushrooms on the side. Some earthy, crunchy, sweet notes to balance the strong taste of the meat melted with pasta. It’s not the most traditional lasagna, but it’s so good who the hell cares?

ENOTERRA

Address: 1071 Wuding Lu,near Jiaozhou Lu 

Hours:  Daily, 11am-2am

Tel:  [phone]

Price: RMB 68

Enoterra is a typical French bistro which means that every meal is also an excuse to drink wine. They say it politely as a “wine pairing". In this case the excuse is a perfectly concocted, French inspired Lasagna, which means less tomato, more meat and thinker slices of cheese. Their Bolognese is done with a mix of tomato and cheese which have a richer body, so you might prefer to balance it with a more full-bodied wine. Enoterra advises you to drink it with a Spanish Red, Rioja.  Dried and puissant with high mineral notes this wine is the perfect match to tackle the strong taste of the cheese and the Bolognese. The wine will clean your mouth and refresh your papilla before adding a second wave of milky delight. Served everyday after 4pm.

FUNKADELI

Address: 291 Fumin Lu,

Hours:  Daily, 11am-1am

Tel:  [phone]

At Funkadeli they offer two kinds of lasagna. One with meat, one without. The first one is the Ragu Bolognaise. As every real Italian chef does, the pasta in handmade each morning. For the Lasagna it’s layered along with their home made meat sauce and béchamel. However as Funkadeli dedicate their work to people with delicate tastes and gourmet palates, they also offer a vegetarian lasagna. No meat but mixed marinated vegetables, homemade basil pesto and still the same great béchamel.

WUJIE

Address: 22 Zhongshandong Er Lu 4Th floor 

Hours:  Daily, 11am-10pm

Tel: [phone]

Price: RMB 78

The Concept of Wujie is to reconcile meat eaters with vegetarian food. Many of you can’t imagine having a dish without meat right? Well at Wujie they want to invite their guest to rethink that assumption. Something that might help do that is their Lion's Mane Mushroom Lasagna. Instead of meat they rely on the seemingly endless supply of protein and nutriment contained in mushrooms. The Lion's Mane Mushroom comes from Fujian and has a naturally meaty texture and is very nourishing. This added to a vegetarian cheese that does not contain rennet. Nourishing and healthy. Why not?
