This is one of 7 guides in Best Vegetarian & Vegan Food in Singapore — start there if you would rather compare before you commit.
VeganBurg
VeganBurg set up shop in a Jalan Eunos shophouse as the world’s first 100% plant-based burger joint, and it hasn’t slowed down since. Soy or mushroom patties get stacked with fresh greens, vegan egg, and vegan bacon, dressed with house sauces that taste anything but second-best. The Creamy Shrooms burger runs on a dairy-free cream sauce, and the Tangy Tartar brings chi’kn nuggets into the party. Seaweed fries on the side are a shiok move, and everything lands in biodegradable packaging. Budget about $12–$15 a person for a burger and side.
Address: 44 Jalan Eunos, Singapore 419502
Phone: +65 6844 6868
Hours: Mon–Thu 11:30am–9pm; Fri–Sun 11:30am–9:30pm, last order 30 minutes before closing
VeganBurg
If you’re trying to convince a meat-loving friend that plant-based can be satisfying, this is the spot. It’s also great for a quick, no-fuss dinner before heading home – no one leaves hungry.
Greendot
Greendot is Singapore’s largest meat-free chain, with outlets scattered across the island – you’ve probably walked past one without realising. Their thing is Asian comfort food done with plant-based ingredients, and the menu marks vegan options clearly so you don’t have to play detective. The laksa comes loaded with shiitake mushrooms and a rich broth that holds its own. Customisable bento sets let you pair sesame rice with sweet and sour soya nuggets or Gong Bao mushrooms – hearty portions, nothing precious. A filling bento set goes for around $8–$10.
Address: 1002 Tai Seng Ave #01-2540, Singapore 534409 (HQ; multiple outlets here)
Phone: +65 6702 6621 / WhatsApp +65 9634 2546
Hours: Mon–Fri 9am–6pm (HQ); outlet hours vary – check the site
Greendot
Anyone who wants their vegan food to taste properly local lah, without fuss. Also brilliant for a solo weekday lunch that leaves you full but not sluggish. Editor’s note: if you’re exploring beyond vegan, we’ve also put together a guide to Vegetarian Restaurants in Singapore that might come in handy.

Herbivore
Herbivore sits inside Fortune Centre – that old-school building near Bugis which has quietly become a treasure box for vegetarian and vegan eats. The kitchen pulls off Japanese and Western plates using organic produce, all vegetarian and a good number that are vegan. Soba noodles, bento sets, sushi – the portions are generous and the flavours stay clean and honest. A main dish sits around $12–$18. Lunch and dinner daily are split into two seatings, so time your visit.
Address: Fortune Centre 190 Middle Road #01-13/14 Singapore 188979
Phone: +65 6333 1612
Hours: Daily 11:30am–3pm, 5pm–9:30pm
Herbivore
If you’re after a sit-down meal that feels a bit more refined but still casual, Herbivore scores. It’s a solid choice for date nights when one of you is vegan and the other is just curious – no one has to compromise.
Whole Earth
Whole Earth on Peck Seah Street was Singapore’s first Peranakan-Thai plant-based restaurant and has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand every year since 2016 – the kind of quiet consistency you don’t need to brag about. Penang Rendang with shiitake mushrooms, Tom Yum soup, and olive rice come to the table layered and fragrant. The rendang is damn shiok, the sort of dish that makes you forget there’s no meat. Sharing plates and mains run $16–$25.
Address: 76 Peck Seah Street, Singapore 079331
Phone: +65 6221 6583
Hours: Daily 11:30am–3pm (last order 2:30pm), 5:30pm–10pm (last order 9pm)
Whole Earth
When you want to treat your parents or impress a date with something that tastes like home-cooked Peranakan food but happens to be completely plant-based, book a table here. Weekends get busy, so call ahead. For more plant-based options in culturally rich corners of the island, have a look at our Vegetarian Restaurants in Little India, Singapore guide.

nomVnom
nomVnom is a bistro on the third floor of Clarke Quay Central doing allium-free vegan fast food, and the menu is massive – over 20 burger builds, plus pasta, soups, salads, fries, dim sum, sweet and sour “chicken,” and laksa. It’s built for people who want options and don’t want to leave hungry. Burgers and mains hover around $10–$14. Some tables catch a bit of the river view, which is a nice bonus on a lazy weekend.
Address: Clarke Quay Central: 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #03-105/106/107, Singapore 059817
Phone: +65 6224 4996
Hours: Sun–Thu 11:30am–9:30pm (last order 9pm); Fri–Sat 11:30am–10:30pm (last order 10pm)
nomVnom
Good for groups where dietary preferences are all over the place – there’s enough variety that nobody needs to settle. Also a handy stop after a walk along the river when you want something filling without a heavy meat hangover.
Kind Kones
Kind Kones is the plant-based ice cream parlour you’ll find inside Forum and across a few other spots – all-natural scoops, dairy-free, egg-free, mostly gluten-free. Flavours like matcha, acai, and chocolate come through clean and creamy, without that icy texture you might expect. A scoop or cone runs about $6–$8. It’s the after-dinner treat that doesn’t make you feel like you’ve just unravelled the whole day.
Address: B1-27, 583 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238884 (more locations here)
Phone: Forum branch: 90108557; main office: +65 96178413 (other branch numbers here)
Hours: Forum branch: 12pm–9pm daily (other hours here)
Kind Kones
Perfect when you’re wandering Orchard Road and want a cold one that actually lasts in the Singapore heat. It’s also a lifesaver if someone in the group has dairy allergies – nobody gets left out of dessert.
WellSmoocht
WellSmoocht is tucked into a Jurong East neighbourhood and is part bakery, part café, fully vegan. The menu covers waffles, ice cream, pizzas, paninis, and burgers – the kind of line-up that lets you have a full meal and dessert without ever having to ask “is this vegan?” Closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan around that.
Address: 319 Jurong East Street 31, #01-58, Singapore 600319
Email: [email protected]
Hours: Wed, Thu, Sun 12pm–9pm (last order 8pm); Fri–Sat 12pm–9:30pm (last order 8:30pm); Mon–Tue closed
WellSmoocht
If you’re in the west and tired of travelling to town for decent vegan food, this is your spot. The waffles alone are worth the trip, and the pizzas surprise you in the best way.
How to choose
Think first about the kind of meal you’re actually craving, not just whether it’s vegan. Craving a burger? VeganBurg and nomVnom both do the job but with different atmospheres – Eunos for a casual shophouse feel, Clarke Quay if you’re out with a group. When you want something that tastes like the Singapore you grew up eating, Greendot and Whole Earth are the natural picks; the former for a quick bento or laksa fix, the latter when you’re ready to sit down and share dishes over a longer evening. Japanese-leaning? Herbivore is the only one in the list that does sushi and soba properly. For dessert, you’ve got Kind Kones for an Orchard pit stop and WellSmoocht for a more substantial café visit that can easily become dinner.
Most meals here land between $10 and $25 per person; Whole Earth tips a little higher because of the sharing plates and Bib Gourmand positioning, while the burger joints and Greendot stay firmly in casual-dining territory. If you’re eating with omni friends or family, pick a place with a big menu – nomVnom and WellSmoocht cover so much ground that no one feels like they’ve drawn the short straw.
