8 Best Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurants in Singapore (2026) — From Whole Earth to VeganBurg

Whether you're plant-based, flexitarian, or trying meatless once a week — we ranked Singapore's 8 best vegetarian and vegan restaurants for 2026, from Bib-Gourmand-recognised Whole Earth to local heroes like Elemen, NomVNom, and VeganBurg. Every outlet re-verified July 2026.

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), creative fine-dining vegan (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 below was re-checked against the restaurant's own website in July 2026, and two names that used to appear on lists like this one have been dropped because they are no longer operating in Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between vegetarian and vegan in Singapore?

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.

Are Singapore vegetarian restaurants expensive?

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.

Which Singapore vegetarian restaurants are halal-certified?

Most vegetarian-only restaurants are de facto halal-suitable, but full halal CERTIFICATION is rarer. Saute is the clearest option — all five of its concepts (Saute-san, Flavours By Saute, Saute Sushi, Saute Saranghae, Saute & Mee) display halal certification. Greendot is NOT halal-certified, though it serves no pork, lard or alcohol. If certification matters to you, check the outlet's own certificate before you go.

Can I find good vegetarian dim sum or local food in Singapore?

Yes. LingZhi Vegetarian (Liat Towers, 541 Orchard Road) has been doing proper vegetarian dim sum since the 1990s. Whole Earth's Peranakan menu does buah keluak with mock chicken. Greendot, with branches across the island, does vegetarian laksa, char kway teow and bak kut teh.
