The "Green Willow House" brand was founded in 1912. In the early days of its establishment, the restaurant was located at Taoye Ferry on the Qinhuai River, which was picturesque. The willows were swaying and the scenery was lush and green, so it was named "Green Willow House". The current location of Green Willow House Restaurant is located on Taiping South Road, with an area of 1,500 square meters and a total of five floors. The Green Food Supermarket on the first floor provides more than 100 kinds of frozen, casual, sauced, and pastry finished products, semi-finished products, and packaged boutiques in seven categories. The second floor serves classic snacks, and the third and fifth floors have a la carte and various private rooms. It is famous for its vegetarian and halal dishes. Green Willow House cuisine is based on elegance, purity, natural and environmental protection, and is famous in Jinling for its five characteristics of "fresh, tender, hot, crispy, and fragrant". During the Republic of China, Lvliuju was a prestigious place for entertaining dignitaries. Dai Jitao, Kong Xiangxi, and Jiang Jingguo often went to Lvliuju for a small banquet. Bai Chongxi, a Hui Muslim general, Sun Yat-sen, who advocated vegetarianism, and the Song sisters who paid attention to beauty were frequent visitors to Lvliuju. In modern times, Zhao Puchu, Master Mingshan, Qi Baishi, and Mei Baojiu all visited the restaurant. Foreign politicians and celebrities such as the Brunei Ambassador to China, the Chairman of the Lebanese Druze Sect, and the President of the Japanese Cuisine Association also visited the restaurant and praised its pure style. Lvliuju Restaurant is famous for its halal and vegetarian dishes. Vegetarian dishes are a major feature of Lvliuju. The all-vegetarian banquet developed by the descendants of Lvliuju is particularly outstanding in this aspect. The texture of the images of chickens and ducks made with tofu skin, gluten, bean curd and Chinese medicinal seasonings is very realistic. When the "whole chicken" is cut, the "chicken shreds" are clearly visible. The secret of imitating meat in Lvliuju is to eat shredded chicken, sliced meat and sliced fish, and the names of all dishes are vegetarian dishes. The representative dishes of Lvliuju, such as "Luohan Guanzhai", "Three-shredded Vegetarian Knife Fish" and "Manfu Jinglun", all have Buddhist Zen meanings. The vegetarian food of Lvliuju has been included in the list of "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Jiangsu Province". During the Chinese New Year, there is always a plate of vegetarian assorted dishes of Lvliuju on the table of Nanjing people. But what is more special in the eyes of the majority of Nanjing people is that most "carnivores" can also taste the "meat" in the vegetarian food of Lvliuju. Lvliuju Restaurant has won the titles of "China Time-honored Brand", "International Famous Restaurant", "Chinese Famous Restaurant", "Jiangsu Famous Restaurant", "China Commercial Service Famous Brand", etc., and became the first catering enterprise in Jiangsu Province to pass the ISO9001 international quality system certification. Lvliu Vegetarian Buns won the title of "International Famous Snack". Nearly 30 delicacies such as "Green Willow Vegetarian Banquet", "Arhat Guanzhai", and "Green Willow Wonton" have successively won the "International Food Quality Gold Award", the "Golden Tripod Award", the highest award of the China Hotel Association, the "China Famous Dishes and Dim Sum" Gold Award, and the title of "Famous Chinese Snacks".
