Singapore is one of Asia’s most exciting destinations for plant-based dining. The city offers an impressive range of fully vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants that truly deliver on flavor.
From upscale dining to casual hawker-style eats, these 20 spots prove that vegan food here is diverse, satisfying, and anything but boring
⭐ My Top Picks (If You Only Have Time For a Few)
- ⭐ Whole Earth: Michelin Bib Gourmand five years running, my top pick for Peranakan food
- ⭐ Herbivore: best vegan sushi in the city
- ⭐ Warung Ijo: rich, authentic Indonesian, try the Mushroom Rendang
- ⭐ The Kind Bowl: the pho that started it all
- ⭐ Cultivate Cafe: best overall plant-based dining experience
Here are the 20 best vegan restaurants in Singapore you need to try.
1. Whole Earth
Whole Earth has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand for five years running, and it earns it. This is the restaurant I’d send you to for Peranakan food done right, the mushroom rendang is the dish I’d order first, it stands in for meat better than almost anything else on this list. Every single item on the menu is vegan, no eggs or dairy anywhere, so you can order freely.
2. NomVNom Bistro
NomVNom Bistro is a 100% vegan fast-food spot in the food court at Clarke Quay Central, good for a quick, affordable meal by the river. I’d order the burger with sweet potato fries. One nice detail: no service charge or GST added, so the price on the menu is the price you pay.
3. Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant
Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant is a Little India favorite with a genuinely huge menu, North and South Indian, Malaysian, and local Singaporean dishes, all vegetarian and no onion or no garlic if that matters to you. It gets busy, but the food and the price make it worth the wait.
4. Saute-san / Flavours by Saute
Part of a small vegetarian restaurant group, and I’d point you toward the cheese katsu made with mushrooms at Saute-san. It’s fully plant-based and Halal-certified, with a Japanese-Korean fusion menu that includes vegetable and mushroom tempura and kimchi pancake.

5. The Kind Bowl
Singapore’s original vegan Vietnamese spot, and the Kind Pho at The Kind Bowl is the reason to go. The broth is deep and flavorful enough that you would not guess it is plant-based. Cash or QR code only, no cards, and it gets crowded at lunch.
6. Analogue Initiative
A quick update before you plan a visit: Analogue Initiative, the plant-based cocktail bar at CHIJMES, closed for good in September 2024. Leaving the write-up here since it was a genuinely creative spot (their bar top was 3D-printed from 1,600 kg of recycled plastic), but do not plan a trip around it.

7. VeganBurg
The Rasa Sayang Burger at VeganBurg is the one I’d order, a mycoprotein patty with vegan egg, kampong sambal, and caramelized onions. The soy patty option and the fries are both consistently well reviewed too. The flagship is a five to ten-minute walk from Eunos MRT.
8. Herbivore
My pick for vegan sushi in Singapore. Herbivore does mock salmon and eel rolls that genuinely hold up, and the unagi roll in particular is one people keep saying is as good as the real thing. It runs on the pricier side, but it is one of the few vegetarian Japanese spots in the city, so it is worth it.
9. Genesis Vegan Restaurant
The lentil lasagna at Genesis Vegan Restaurant is the dish I’d order, made with a cashew sauce and genuinely award-winning. Clean, simple decor in the basement of Havelock II, and there’s a small organic pantry section if you want to stock up while you’re there.

10. Warung Ijo
Authentic Indonesian vegetarian cooking, and the Mushroom Rendang at Warung Ijo is a must-try, it is rich enough that you forget it is meat-free. Cozy, homely spot near Haji Lane, with genuinely friendly service.
11. WakaMama
An underrated vegan omakase experience. I’d go for the weekend brunch at WakaMama, where you can share a bowl of vegan ramen alongside small plates like hand-made matcha pasta and agedashi tofu. Reservations recommended, it is a private dining setup.
12. Cultivate Cafe
Singapore’s only fully vegan, gluten-free, and GMO-free dining spot, tucked into the Maxwell Reserve hotel. The vegan earth bowl and the cold-pressed juices at Cultivate Cafe are what I’d order. One note: the set lunch menu is limited, so go with an open mind about variety.

13. Lilac Oak
A tiny five-table cafe near Somerset, and the waffles at Lilac Oak are some of the crispiest I’ve had anywhere, vegan or not. The tater tots and eggplant lasagna are the mains people recommend most, and the vegan gelato holds up well against the dairy version.
14. Sunnychoice
Founded by five sisters in 2007, and the Thunder Tea Rice (Lei Cha) at Sunnychoice is the dish to order, a soup with a bold, fresh mint flavor that regulars call the best in Singapore. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable, with a small grocery section for plant milk and nutritional yeast.
15. WellSmoocht
The Jack and Dill Pizza at WellSmoocht won an award from the abillion community as one of Singapore’s 50 best vegan dishes, so start there. The scrambled tofu is a convincing stand-in for scrambled eggs too. Reviews on the mains are a little mixed, so I’d lean toward the pizza and the desserts.
16. Green Dot
The largest meat-free chain in Singapore, and a good option if you want something fast, cheap, and reliable. I’d order the laksa at Green Dot, it’s consistently called out as genuinely good, and most meals run under 10 Singapore dollars. One thing to check: some noodle bowls contain milk, so ask before you order.

17. The Boneless Kitchen
A hidden gem for vegetarian Korean food. I’d order the Vegan Dolsat Bibimbap or the Kimchi Bulgogi Fries at The Boneless Kitchen. It’s also a social enterprise that creates opportunities for people with special needs, which makes it an easy place to recommend on more than just the food.
18. Sufood
Only set menus here, no a la carte, but Sufood clearly labels alliums, egg, dairy, and peanuts on everything, which makes ordering simple. The presentation is a highlight, though portions run a little small for the price.
19. Eco Harmony Café
An organic cafe in Geylang that’s been running since 2007 as a social enterprise. I’d order the mala noodles at Eco Harmony Café, they get called out repeatedly for a good numbing kick and a genuinely wide variety of vegetables. Everything is cooked in heat-stable coconut oil with no MSG or artificial additives.
20. The Living Cafe
A raw-food focused spot in Bukit Timah, and the hazelnut cake and blueberry cheesecake at The Living Cafe are the desserts I’d go for. It runs pricier than most on this list, and reviews on the savory dishes are mixed, so treat it as a dessert and juice stop rather than a full dinner.
