Nice location, amazing food - Edit
I highly recommend you to go. Their rules: no alcohol, no smoking, no animal suffering. I really love it! It's the closest vegan restaurant to the Forbidden City. It's very clean and big. Price is fine, they have a lot of food so you can choose between pricey dishes or reasonably priced ones. I personally paid 110 CNY for 4 dishes and one drink and I couldn't finish all. The soups are very cheap and usually quite big, I recommend it. For drinks, the small juice is about 350 mL big and the big one is 1 L. The staff, in general, is quite friendly. One of the waiters was rude to me, but only one person from a quite big team so not the end of the world. Some staff speaks a little of English and some of them none, so ask for some who speaks English first. It's very handy. You can see the Forbidden City from the entrance of the restaurant. If you cannot, then that is not the right road. The restaurant is in front of a parking and close to many other restaurants including McDonald's (sadly).

So good we went back! - Edit
We found this through the HappyCow app on our trip to Beijing. Fully vegan. We were staying in a Hutong not far so decided to try it out. The food was so good and the experience really good that we actually came back for dinner the next night! The guy at the front desk is very good at English and very friendly. He was teaching us some mandarin on the second night. The waiting staff are also very nice and helpful. There is a language barrier as none of them seem to speak English at all but with some charades and a little guess work, it’s pretty easy. If you’ve been to anywhere other than Beijing in China, this is not a new experience! Very good though. Can’t recommend enough.

Like the others, just near Tiananmen Square - Edit
SUHU (素虎) is a vegan, alcohol-free restaurant chain that literally means "vegetarian tiger". I happened to find this one near Tiananmen Square. It's off of the QianMen station, like mentioned in the description.
Read moreFood here is the same menu as in other of the SUHU restaurants. Giant menu with a bunch of options. Here I had the 水饺 (boiled dumplings), the fake fish protein (really just wheat gluten), and the Vietnamese spring rolls. Delicious.
The main issue I had here was that there was no English-speaking staff attending tables. Only at the front, so when they had to tell me that the kind of dumpling I ordered was out of stock, that got a little hairy.
I think this place is pretty affordable at ¥110-ish for all of that above. Service was attentive, even if we had some language barriers. The place was also very clean and modern looking. Great place to go that's in the middle of the city.
Pros: Great location, Giant menu
Cons: Have to get by with Mandarin only
