Travelling to Singapore and need help to find good vegan or vegetarian restaurants in the city? You won’t be disappointed, as there are lots of meat-free dining options available! 

Here’s a fun fact: Two in five Singaporeans are said to be ‘flexitarian,’ which means they eat mostly plant foods, but without completely swearing off meat and animal products. This is why Singapore’s restaurants and eateries are increasingly featuring plant-based meals to delight the palate!

Taking your first steps towards a meatless lifestyle? 

You may feel confused, as there are several types of plant-based diets to choose from. While not all of these diets are strictly herbivorous, simply reducing your meat consumption may benefit your health as well as the planet, as it could help to lower the emission of global-warming greenhouse gases into our atmosphere!

Here’s how to tell the difference between a vegan diet, a vegetarian diet, and more:

Afterglow has gone the extra mile to highlight potential allergens in its plant-based menu, including nuts, soy, garlic and onions. Kid-friendly items are indicated as well, so it’s worth checking out if you are travelling with children who have special dietary needs.

Planning a Chinatown walkabout? From here, you can get to Chinatown MRT on foot, in about 10 minutes.

Eager to visit MacRitchie Reservoir or conquer the famous TreeTop Walk in Singapore? Once you’re done with these healthy activities, you can make your way to the nearby iVegan for an equally wholesome meal. 

Don’t be misled by the menu—their version of “Scrambled Eggs” is made from tofu and mushrooms, and likewise, their ‘steak’ and ‘scallop’ offerings are mushroom dishes in disguise. But of course, do check with the wait staff if in doubt!

Want to step up your green eating efforts? Although The Living Cafe offers white meat and fish as side options, its main attraction is a menu showcasing vegan raw foods, guaranteed to satiate appetites without the post-meal slump. 

Fuel up on their Avocado Cucumber Gazpacho (a cold soup made of raw blended vegetables), or share a snack of Taco Boats—walnut ‘meat’ taco balls, lettuce wraps, and mango salsa. 

If you are visiting Botanic Gardens, this cafe is a quick train ride away.

Just like ‘regular’ burgers, vegan burgers can run the gamut of fresh and tangy to sweet and spicy—and there’s no better place to savour this than at Veganburg. 

Try the best-selling Avocado Beetroot burger, which pairs a crisp plant patty with fresh avocado and other crunchy veggie delights, all stacked between a soft artisan bun. Or go local with the Chargrilled Satay burger, featuring a hearty satay sauce (usually meant for skewered meats) drizzled over a grilled soy patty.

After your meal, take a quick ride to the Joo Chiat heritage neighbourhood, where you can admire colourful Peranakan shophouses.

Keen to support a restaurant with its heart in the right place? Annalakshmi is an Indian vegetarian restaurant that accepts donations in place of payment, which explains their tagline “Eat as you want. Give as you feel.” 

This is a popular place for delicious Indian vegetarian fare, drawing from both North and South Indian culinary styles. Proceeds from the restaurant are channelled to various causes in rural India, so it’s a place to fill bellies, as well as give generously.

From here, you can explore the Clarke Quay district, or check out the attractions in Chinatown.

This quaint city mall is best known for its vegetarian restaurants, and two that you can check out are Herbivore for Japanese fare, and Tracy Juice Culture for Asian vegetarian cuisine—its udon dish (Japanese thick noodles) is particularly popular with patrons. 

After your meal, consider taking a walk to Singapore’s Civic District, or spend the rest of the day exploring Kampong Glam (Singapore’s Muslim Quarter).

To experience vegetarian fine dining, head to Joie Restaurant (pronounced “joy”), located on the rooftop garden of Orchard Central. The ambience is perfect, and you can get to appreciate Japanese-European cuisine in the form of an exquisitely presented six-course lunch or seven-course dinner. 

After which, proceed to enjoy the shopping along Orchard Road!

Want a taste of authentic, traditional Indian cuisine—from both North and South India? Komala Vilas presents you with the best of both worlds, but what’s the difference?

Well, North Indian cuisine is well-loved for its thick, creamy, and spicy gravies, served alongside breads such as naan. A South Indian meal can be quite different, as food may be served on a freshly cut banana leaf, and dishes are typically based around rice, lentils, and stews.

Whichever you pick, satisfaction is guaranteed! And don’t miss this opportunity to soak in the colours and flavours of Little India, where this eatery is located.

If you are travelling to Singapore and prefer to have meatless meals, do ensure that your hotel can cater to your dietary needs, as there are days where you might prefer to stay in!

For pescatarians, we would highly recommend Lime Restaurant, located in PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, Singapore. It offers a wide variety of seafood favourites, and it’s guaranteed to please.
