Where to eat Vegan and Gluten Free food in Birmingham
Advancement in medical research has meant that we all have a heightened awareness of our digestion health and know our digestive system can be affected so heavily by what we put into it. As this is something we can control, we find more and more people reaching for the meat free, gluten free and dairy free menus when out and about.
A growing area of interest in recent years is how certain types of food can adversely affect our health and how they affect people differently. For example, you can now readily take tests which tell you what foods you may be allergic to. People who have had chronic conditions have found themselves easing years of suffering just by cutting out certain types of food.
Best Vegan Restaurant in Birmingham Chung Ying Cantonese Restaurant
Have you tried our Vegan food menu at Chung Ying Cantonese Restaurant, Birmingham China Town? We offer over 90 Vegan dishes.
Veganism has taken the world by storm, fast becoming a lifestyle that is preferred by many as a way to do their bit for animals, the environment and their health. Whilst many might think veganism is a new trend, its popularity spans centuries and has been at the basis of many ancient civilisations. Chinese cuisine includes every day vegan staples such as tofu, soy, vegetables, seitan, rice and egg-free noodles, making it a go-to for many vegans.
We are proud to offer an extensive selection of vegan dishes, designed by our highly acclaimed chefs.

The last time I had to fill out a form by marking boxes with black crosses, I was trying to get my driving licence. Here in Chinatown, I was not tussling with a tricksy DVLA application, but instead an A4 print-out showing 71 dim sum options. This was tougher. Last week, we brought you the news that Chung Ying Cantonese, the oldest of its kind in Brum's beautiful Chinese Quarter, had been celebrated at the Golden Chopsticks Awards, earning the Best Dumplings title. It gave me fresh cause to visit, so I showed up on a busy Friday lunchtime to get my mouth around those gong-winning morsels.
