Can anyone recommend a good vegetarian restaurant?

Cheers

Oh Yeah! The vegetarian restaurant directly across the Yuan Ton Temple near the Kunming Zoo has an extensive menu, a quiet, clean, spacious dining room and very good food (complete with English menus!). It is located on the second floor and there are signs in English to tell you it's a vegetarian restaurant (actually it vegan with no egg or dairy used either)

Bon apetit!

Yuquanzhai (www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item.php?listing_id=287) - the restaurant Ahmet is referring to in the above post - has recently moved across Yuantong Jie and is now just a few meters east of Yuantong Temple. In addition to the main restaurant, it has a small noodle shop and vegetarian grocery store.

There is also Green Mountain Vegetarian Restaurant (www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item.php?listing_id=111) an Indonesian/Chinese vegetarian restaurant in Guanshang near the airport, which offers a more Southeast Asian menu and does some rather convincing fake meat. A bit of a journey for most people in Kunming, but it's a good way to get off the beaten path and try something different.

Moonlight Corner Thai Restaurant (www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item.php?listing_id=100) in the Expo Gardens near the Golden Temple in northeast Kunming is not a vegetarian restaurant, but its Thai cooks are very accommodating to vegetarians. They are happy to make virtually any dish on their extensive menu without meat, except for obvious ones like grilled chicken or fish. Their green and red veggie curries are as authentic as you'll find anywhere in China.
