Singapore's 8 best vegetarian and vegan restaurants for 2026, from Bib-Gourmand-recognised Whole Earth to Elemen, NomVNom and VeganBurg, plus a mall-by-mall guide to where vegetarian food actually is. Every outlet, address and opening time was re-checked against each restaurant's own website and ordering system on 16 September 2026, and the halal claims against MUIS's own register.
Singapore's vegetarian and vegan dining now runs from Michelin Bib Gourmand Peranakan cooking to S$10 weekday plates.
> Quick view: Whole Earth (76 Peck Seah St) is the top pick, and the only plant-based Bib Gourmand restaurant here. Mains run from about S$10 at Genesis to S$55 at elemen. The catch: Plaza Singapura and Great World have no vegetarian restaurant left at all.
Singapore's only plant-based restaurant in the Michelin Bib Gourmand list, and it has held that recognition every year since the Guide arrived in Singapore in 2016. The menu runs Peranakan and Thai: Penang Rendang with mock beef, Thai Basil Mock Chicken, buah keluak. S$25–40 per main. One outlet only, at 76 Peck Seah Street next to Tanjong Pagar MRT, open daily 11.30am–3pm (last order 2.30pm) and 5.30–10pm (last order 9pm), so book ahead for dinner. If you want it at home, the kitchen's delivery arm is FIELDS by Whole Earth, where dishes run S$17.60 to S$35.20 and first-time delivery customers can apply code FIELDS8 for S$8 off a S$80 order. No end date is published for that code.

The most polished Chinese vegetarian dining in Singapore. Refined Cantonese-Sichuan cooking: Mapo Tofu with mock minced meat, quinoa and ai yu desserts. S$30–55 per main. Three outlets, and no more: Millenia Walk (9 Raffles Boulevard, #01-75/75A/76), PLQ Mall (10 Paya Lebar Road, #03-13) and elemen Academy at 1 Woodlands Height, #01-02. The Plaza Singapura and Great World outlets are gone and are no longer listed. Weekday hours are 11am–3.30pm and 5.30–9.30pm. Worth knowing if you eat vegetarian on Buddhist observance days: on Fridays, weekends and public holidays, and on the 1st and 15th of each lunar month, elemen switches to fixed seating slots rather than walk-in dining, so book.

Singapore's longest-running Mediterranean vegetarian restaurant, open since 1997. Pasta, pizzas, mezze, risotto, with the Mushroom Risotto and stuffed eggplant as the standbys. S$25–40 per main. 43 Jalan Merah Saga #01-62, Chip Bee Gardens, on the quiet side of Holland Village. Lunch and dinner daily; the restaurant publishes no opening times on its own site, so call +65 6475 5605 if you are cutting it fine. It relaunched in 2025 after a refresh and now bills itself as 'Est. 1997, reborn 2025'. Its current site is originalsin.sg, not the older .com.sg address.

The strongest pick if you need actual halal certification rather than just meat-free. The group runs five plant-based concepts, each halal-certified: Saute-san (City Square Mall, #03-23/24), Flavours By Saute (Funan, #B1-30), Saute Sushi (Paya Lebar Square, #B1-19), Saute Saranghae (Tampines 1, #05-08/09) and Saute & Mee (Anchorvale Village, #B1-20). Japanese, Korean and Western-fusion plant-based mains, roughly S$15–22. All five open daily including public holidays, 11.30am–9.30pm, last order 8.45pm. We did not take the certification on trust. Searching MUIS's own register of halal-certified eating establishments on 16 September 2026 returns all five and only these five, each as a certified restaurant at the address above: SAUTE-SAN (EERT20220000877), Saute Sushi (EERT20240000009), Flavours by Saute (EERT20240000010), Saute Saranghae (EERT20240000496) and Saute & Mee (EERT20240000973). Certificates run on fixed terms and are renewed, so check the certificate displayed at the counter is still in date when you go.

Wholesome plant-based brunch: berry bowls, smashed avo on multigrain, salads and grain bowls. S$18–28 per main. Now down to two dine-in outlets. Orchard Central is at 181 Orchard Road, and the unit is #02-17, not the #02-16 most listings still carry: the mall's own tenant directory lists REAL FOOD at #02-17, open 11am to 10pm, on 9138 0141. The Yishun outlet is inside the Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre at 30A Yishun Central 1, open daily 10am to 9pm with last order at 8pm, and the group's Slow Bakes bakery runs there daily from 7am to 2pm. Earlier Star Vista, Wheelock Place and 313 Somerset outlets have closed. One catch worth knowing before you click through: realfoodgrocer.com has been reduced to a single line that reads Website under construction, so there is no official menu or price list online at the moment. Both outlets are still trading, confirmed on 16 September 2026 against Orchard Central's tenant directory and the Tzu Chi centre's own dining page.

The original Singapore plant-based burger chain, founded 2010, with soya-based patties and vegan cheese. Hawaiian Teriyaki and Smoky BBQ are the ones to order. S$10–16 per combo. Important: there is now just one Singapore outlet, the recently renovated Eunos flagship at 44 Jalan Eunos. The only other VeganBurg is in Hesperia, California. Open from 11.30am daily, to 9pm Mon–Thu and 9.30pm Fri–Sun, with last order 30 minutes before closing.

Vegan junk-food in the best sense: plant-based fried 'chicken' burgers, pasta, mac & cheez. S$15–22 per main. Now at Clarke Quay Central, 6 Eu Tong Sen Street #03-105/106/107, right next to Clarke Quay MRT. The older Far East Plaza and Marina Square outlets are gone, so head to Clarke Quay. Open 11.30am–9.30pm Sun–Thu (last order 9pm) and 11.30am–10.30pm Fri–Sat (last order 10pm).

The one for a plain weekday lunch rather than an occasion. Fully vegan, Eastern and Western dishes: Nyonya laksa, dumplings with capsicum sauce, mock bak kut teh with tofu and mushrooms, tofu cheesecake. Around S$10 a dish, which makes it the best value on this list. 2 Havelock Road #B1-01, Havelock II. Check the day before you go: it runs 11am–3pm and 5–9pm from Sunday to Thursday, serves lunch only on Friday (11am–3pm, no dinner), and closes all day Saturday.
Find on Google MapsEverything below was re-read on each restaurant's own website or ordering system on 16 September 2026. All eight picks are still open and trading, every price and every set of opening hours is unchanged, and the FIELDS8 code is still live on Whole Earth's delivery site. Four things did move.
Singapore's vegetarian and vegan dining scene has matured quietly since the 2010s plant-based wave. What used to be a thin market dominated by Buddhist temple-adjacent eateries now spans Bib-Gourmand-recognised Peranakan vegetarian (Whole Earth), everyday all-vegan cooking at hawker-adjacent prices (Genesis), homegrown vegan fast-food (VeganBurg, NomVNom), and a long tail of credible mid-tier restaurants.
We compared the most-respected vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Singapore for 2026 across price tiers, cuisine styles, and which one fits which occasion. Every outlet address and price above was checked against the restaurant's own website, and two names that used to appear on lists like this one have been dropped because they are no longer operating in Singapore. One long-standing name has also moved: LingZhi, the 1991 vegetarian institution at Liat Towers, reopened on 10 August 2026 as LingZhi Greens at Palais Renaissance (390 Orchard Road, #B1-04/05), open daily 11am–3pm and 6–10pm, and that is now its only outlet.
Most people search for this by mall rather than by restaurant name, and mall directories go stale fast. Here is where the outlets actually sit as of 16 September 2026, checked against each chain's own locator and, where the locator disagrees with itself, its live ordering system.
Vegetarian restaurants exclude meat and seafood but typically allow dairy, eggs, and honey. Vegan restaurants exclude all animal products. Traditional Chinese vegetarian (素食 / 斋菜) excludes the 'five pungents' (garlic, onion, leek, scallion, asafoetida) for Buddhist reasons.
Hawker-style vegetarian S$5–10 per meal. Casual chains S$15–22 per main. Mid-tier sit-down S$25–45. Fine-dining S$80–180 per pax.
Most vegetarian-only restaurants are de facto halal-suitable, but full halal CERTIFICATION is rarer, and you can check it yourself: MUIS publishes a searchable register of every halal-certified eating establishment in Singapore. We searched it on 16 September 2026. Saute is the only chain on this list with certification, and all five concepts are on the register with their own certificate numbers: SAUTE-SAN at City Square Mall (EERT20220000877), Saute Sushi at Paya Lebar Square (EERT20240000009), Flavours by Saute at Funan (EERT20240000010), Saute Saranghae at Tampines 1 (EERT20240000496) and Saute & Mee at Anchorvale (EERT20240000973). Everything else here returns no MUIS record, by brand name and again by the outlet postal code: elemen, Greendot, Whole Earth, VeganBurg, nomVnom, Real Food, Genesis and LingZhi Greens are meat-free, not halal-certified. Be careful with halal listing sites here, because several of them file Genesis under halal restaurants and MUIS holds no certificate for it. Greendot serves no pork, lard or alcohol but is not certified either. If certification matters to you, search the MUIS register or ask to see the certificate and its expiry.
No. elemen is fully vegetarian and serves no meat, seafood or pork, but the group displays no halal certification on its website and has not announced one, so it is meat-free rather than halal-certified. Muslim diners who need actual certification should go to Saute instead: all five of its concepts are halal-certified, including Flavours By Saute at Funan and Saute Sushi at Paya Lebar Square, a few minutes from elemen's PLQ Mall outlet.
Not any more, and nothing has taken their place. Plaza Singapura had two vegetarian specialists and both have left: elemen's official locations page lists only Millenia Walk, PLQ Mall and its Woodlands Height academy, and Greendot's Plaza Singapura branch appears in neither the chain's outlet locator nor its live ordering system. We re-checked the mall's own directory on 16 September 2026, this time by opening the tenant page for each name directly: Din Tai Fung, Tim Hortons and Paperbakes all return real store pages, while elemen and Greendot return the same empty shell the directory serves for a shop that is not there. What the directory does tag as vegetarian is mainstream restaurants that keep meat-free dishes: Din Tai Fung (#02-32), Nana's Green Tea (#03-80/82), Tim Hortons (#02-K1 to K6) and Paperbakes (#03-21). Vegan or plant-based options are flagged at Canton Paradise (#03-01), Chicha San Chen (#B1-K7), Mr Bean (#B2-29), Starbucks, Swensen's (#03-23), Ya Kun Kaya Toast and YOLE (#01-22A). For a full vegetarian meal near Dhoby Ghaut, walk to Real Food at Orchard Central (181 Orchard Road, #02-17), or to LingZhi Greens at Palais Renaissance (390 Orchard Road, #B1-04/05), which reopened on 10 August 2026 after moving out of Liat Towers.
No. elemen's Great World outlet is gone and the group's own locations page now lists exactly three restaurants, none of them at Great World, although third-party directories still carry the old listing. Great World's website publishes no tenant directory to check that against, so treat the mall as having no dedicated vegetarian restaurant. The nearest proper vegetarian meal is Genesis at Havelock II (2 Havelock Road, #B1-01), about a ten-minute walk, at around S$10 a dish. Note Genesis serves lunch only on Fridays and is closed on Saturdays. Greendot's nearest branches are One Raffles Place and The Star Vista, and LingZhi Greens at Palais Renaissance is two MRT stops away on the Thomson-East Coast Line.
Yes. LingZhi has been doing proper vegetarian dim sum since 1991, but check the address before you go: it left Liat Towers and reopened on 10 August 2026 as LingZhi Greens at Palais Renaissance (390 Orchard Road, #B1-04/05), which is now its only outlet, open daily 11am–3pm (last order 2.30pm) and 6–10pm (last order 9.30pm). Whole Earth's Peranakan menu does buah keluak with mock chicken. Greendot, with 13 restaurants across the island, does vegetarian laksa, char kway teow and bak kut teh.
