Yes, there are quite a few vegetarian places. The best one I know of is called "Godly" on Nanjing Xi lu.

It has tons of different "fake meat" dishes and of course vegetables and tofu.

As for vegan, I'm not sure of any but I was told that there is one in or near the Bailian department store (Near Metro Line 10--Jiangwan Stadium). Haven't checked it out, but it's supposed to actually have the word "vegan" in the name... Happy Land Vegan or something like that

You can check on this website: www.happycow,net and set the location in Shanghai.

As a vegetarian, I recommend Annamaya on Taojiang Lu and Zao Zi Shu on Song Shan Lu.

Enjoy your days in Shanghai

i already tried 2 in shanghai (my sister came to visit and she´s a vegie).
one i don´t really remember were it is... heheh
the other one is on the way from people´s square to nanjing west road, on the left... a little after the ferrari shop, i think.
Maybe that´s the one which MrTibbles refers to... as they have lots of "fake meat" dishes.
in fact i got upset and confused, why they give meat names to ALL the dishes, but no one knows what´s inside.
Why the hell we want to eat vegetables tasting like duck, if we´re vegies and don´t want to eat duck?
how do they make it taste like duck? add duck sauce? hehehe
i like my vegetables plain and simple, tasting like vegetables...
the service is good and the prices are cheap. you should try, but don´t get frightened by the names.
