Vegetarian Restaurants Singapore

Finding menus to cater to different dietary needs isn’t the easiest. Over time, diets have been slowly changing thanks to more self-awareness on the effects food has on our bodies.

1. Thunder Tree

Thunder Tree is probably the only food stall in Singapore that offers a local-organic-farm-to-table concept. All of their ingredients are sourced from their own farm that practices organic farming, right here in Singapore. What’s more, the farm adopts plant-based farming where no animal waste is used in our agriculture process, so the food served, down to their ingredients, is 100% animal-free!

Thunder Tree serves food that is vegan-friendly and uses mainly organic ingredients. No alliums, no mock meat, no artificial flavouring and colouring are used in their cooking. With an aim to provide food that is accessible for all that nourishes the body and energises the mind, they promise that you'll be able to "eat with peace of mind".

Key Differentiators

1. Uses mainly organic ingredients sourced from their own farm in Singapore
2. No mock meat, no MSG, no artificial flavourings and colourings
3. Most dishes are made from scratch yet reasonably priced such that everyone can enjoy quality food that is easily accessible

Customer Review

Best thunder tea rice I've ever had, the addition of black-eyed pea made it super yummy and it is the first time I've actually liked drinking the tea! We also snagged the last portion of abacus seeds for the day, which was super tasty and a definite must-try if you're lucky enough to get it. I can't figure out how to rate this on FB but it's five stars for sure!

2. Green on Earth

Green On Earth is a family business that started out in late 2016, previously located up in the hills at 2 Phoenix Road with alfresco dining.

Earned with years of experience, each and every chef in their kitchen holds multiple culinary achievements under their belt.

2. Offers one of the best rated vegetarian Ma La Xiang Guo in Singapore.
3. They have a wide variety of Chinese dishes from local cuisines to China dishes.

Customer Review

Green on Earth was a discovery I made when I was looking for places in Singapore that serve vegetarian Mala, and I am so glad to have found it!

I have visited its earlier location as well as the current, expanded one. The space is big and has a nice setting. They have a very elaborate menu with a lot of dishes incorporating mock meat as and when needed. However, I am a sucker for Mala Hotpot and that’s what I get every time I am here. And, it doesn’t disappoint. They have a wide selection of ingredients that can go into your Mala, starting from bean sprouts to mock meats, from Maggie noodles to Udon Noodles. I always choose the spiciest level, as I am a firm believer of - if it’s not spicy, it’s not worth the oil that goes into making it 🙂

This place is my go-to, guilt-free, Mala eatery to enjoy some extremely delicious Vegetarian Mala Hotpot. I absolutely recommend it!

3. Greendot Vegetarian Restaurant

Greendot is an Asian meat-free fast-casual concept. It was founded in 2011 with the intention of making healthy meat-free meals convenient, accessible and affordable to the mass.

Healthy options for lunch and low carbs intake. Noodles come with herbal soup which tastes sweet and not oily. Suitable for both vegan and non-vegan.

4. The Kind Bowl

The Kind Bowl was born in line with the current global effort to ‘Go Green’ and the greater awareness of the health benefits “Let food be thy medicine“.

Excellent vegan Vietnamese food. The kind pho is highly recommended. Cookies are just perfect. Limited menu but fast service and excellent good. Don't forget to get the cookies. I tried the Hawaiian berry and they are awesome

Been patronising this vegetarian restaurant for many years and their dishes never disappoint us. We have a few favourites and must order like the tofu with oats, olive-brown rice and monkey head mushroom! Highly recommended for a healthy and delicious meal.
