The 9 Best Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 9 picks

The best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Singapore in 2026 are Whole Earth, a plant-based Peranakan and Thai Bib Gourmand pick; elemen for refined Chinese vegetarian food; Komala Vilas for South Indian thali and dosai; LingZhi Greens for vegetarian dim sum; and Saute, whose plant-based outlets are halal-certified.

Singapore is an easy city for vegetarians: Buddhist, Taoist and Hindu traditions mean every hawker centre has a vegetarian stall, Little India is full of South Indian vegetarian restaurants, and a newer wave of plant-based places serves everything from burgers to Peranakan classics. Many Chinese vegetarian restaurants get busy on the 1st and 15th of the lunar month, when many Buddhists eat meat-free. Vegetarian does not always mean vegan (dairy and egg are common), and meat-free does not mean halal-certified, so ask if it matters. For South Indian food, see our Little India restaurants guide.
