Restaurant in China criticised for selling lion cub cuddles
The Guardian
|July 18, 2025
A restaurant in northern China has been criticised by animal welfare groups for offering an unusual item on the menu: lion cub cuddles.
According to a screenshot of a menu circulating on social media, Wanhui - a restaurant in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province - has a four-course set afternoon menu costing 1,192 yuan (£124) that includes playtime with the in-house animals.
The restaurant's profile on Dazhong Dianping, a popular restaurant listings app, shows pictures of the lion cubs and other animals, such as deer and alligators.
