20 Plant-Based Places To Eat In All Corners Of The Island

With such a selection of vegan and vegetarian restaurants popping up around Singapore, it’s never been a better time to go meat-free! From hearty veggie burgers and fine-dining fusion to vegan ice cream and all-raw vegan dishes, here are 20 plant-based places to eat in all corners of the island.

#1 Tea Villa Café

This vegetarian café serves up a wide range of cuisines – from Indian, Mexican and Lebanese to Italian and Indian-Chinese fusion – with vegan, gluten-free, and onion- and garlic-free options available as well. There’s really something for everyone, making it an easy go-to for meat-free meals.

Whether you’re in the mood for pizza and pasta, tacos or garlic fried rice, the menu is vast, so there’s always something new to try. The French fries options alone are overwhelming (in a good way!) with six types to choose from, including a peri peri variety. We’re also really digging the dedicated page of eggless Belgian waffles – the 10 options include banana caramel, Nutella, Oreo and sizzling waffles with chocolate sauce. You’ll also find a selection of eggless cakes, ice cream and other desserts.

Aside from the delicious food, the restaurant’s got a selection of over 100 teas – everything from fruit to herbal to Indian milk teas with spices. 97 East Coast Road 8518 4250 | facebook.com/teavillacafesingapore

#2 The Living Café

This Bukit Timah-based café is another mainstay on Singapore’s raw vegan scene. The whole idea here is to fully maximise food’s vitamins and minerals by consuming them raw rather than compromising their health-promoting qualities through the cooking process. All dishes are free of dairy, preservatives, artificial additives, refined sugars and red meat. While these guys do serve a small amount of white meat and fish, the majority of menu items are raw vegan. We’d suggest the avocado cucumber soup with chilli and lemon, and the build-your-own taco boats with raw walnut “meat”, guacamole and mango salsa. For dessert, don’t miss the range of raw cheesecakes and chocolates. 779 Bukit Timah Road 6468 4482 | thelivingcafe.com
