The best plant-based restaurants in Singapore include Whole Earth, the only plant-based restaurant on the 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand list, fully vegan spots such as Cultivate Cafe, ahimsa sanctuary, The Kind Bowl and VeganBurg, and long-running vegetarian names like Original Sin, Herbivore and LingZhi Greens. Styles range from Peranakan-Thai, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian and North Indian to vegan burgers and raw food. Prices run from around $9 for a main at Genesis or VeganBurg to $30 and up at Cultivate Cafe and Original Sin. Tanjong Pagar and Maxwell have three spots, Tai Seng has two, and Bugis, Clarke Quay and Little India have one each. Several places are vegetarian rather than vegan, so vegans should ask about egg and dairy when ordering.

Saute-San is allium-free and alcohol-free, and reviewers describe it as halal-certified, but this could not be confirmed in the MUIS directory. Muslim diners should check any outlet's current status in the MUIS halal directory before visiting.
Which area of Singapore is best for plant-based food?
Tanjong Pagar and Maxwell have Whole Earth, Cultivate Cafe and ahimsa sanctuary within walking distance of each other. Tai Seng has Warung Ijo and The Boneless Kitchen. Bugis' Fortune Centre (Herbivore), Clarke Quay (nomVnom) and Little India (Kailash Parbat) are also good bets.
Do I need to book plant-based restaurants in Singapore?
Booking is recommended for dinner and weekends at Whole Earth, Original Sin, Cultivate Cafe, elemen and LingZhi Greens.
