Guilai Vegetarian Life
Guilai Vegetarian Life is a fully plant-based hotpot restaurant in Chongqing (HappyCow listing, now appears to be closed per a 2024 report). HappyCow and reviewer descriptions consistently indicate it is a vegan venue offering hotpots with tofu, mock meats, and vegetables, with no mention of non-vegan ingredients like dairy or eggs. However, there is no formal accreditation, dedicated kitchen certification, or menu marking that meets the A+ standard, and the venue's status is uncertain (reported closed or under renovation in April 2024). The restaurant is described as fully vegan by multiple reviewers, which suggests a strong vegan ethos, but lack of current operational verification or explicit policy downgrades this to Tier A.
