Best Plant-Based Restaurants in Singapore: 18 Best Spots (2026)
Singapore's plant-based dining scene has matured well beyond meat-free zi char, spanning a Michelin Bib Gourmand Peranakan restaurant, vegetarian fine dining, fully vegan cafes and heritage Indian vegetarian institutions. Options are spread island-wide, from the CBD, Orchard and Marina Centre to Little India, Holland Village and the heartlands, with prices running from budget hawker-style plates to multi-course tasting menus. Note that many venues are vegetarian rather than strictly vegan, so vegans should confirm egg and dairy use before visiting.

Your questions answered
Are these restaurants fully vegan or just vegetarian?
It varies. Several are strictly vegetarian and may still use egg or dairy (for example LingZhi, Herbivore, Original Sin and elemen), while VeganBurg, nomVnom, Cultivate Cafe, Genesis, ahimsa sanctuary, The Kind Bowl and Makan Vegan are fully plant-based. Vegans should confirm egg, dairy and honey use before ordering.
How much does plant-based dining in Singapore cost?
Budget vegan and Indian vegetarian meals start from around S$6-12 per person, mid-range cafes and casual spots run roughly S$15-30, and vegetarian fine dining or multi-course tasting menus can climb well past S$60.
Are there halal-certified plant-based restaurants?
Some are, such as Saute-San, and many meat-free eateries are Muslim-friendly, but plant-based does not automatically mean halal-certified. Always check the specific outlet's current certification before visiting, as status can change.
Which areas have the best plant-based options?
Little India is strong for Indian vegetarian food, the CBD, Tanjong Pagar and Orchard host modern and fine-dining concepts, and Bugis' Fortune Centre plus the heartlands offer affordable Chinese and local vegetarian fare, so options are spread island-wide.
Do I need to make reservations?
Reservations are recommended for fine-dining and popular weekend venues like Joie, Whole Earth and Original Sin, while casual cafes and hawker-style vegan stalls generally accept walk-ins. Call ahead to confirm hours, as opening times can change.
