Best vegan restaurants in Singapore
More Singaporeans are becoming increasingly conscious about their environmental footprint, which has led to a rising interest in plant-based food locally. Though this isn’t to say more Singaporeans are turning vegan, there’s definitely been an uptick in people integrating plant-based food into their daily diets. As a result, more restaurants in Singapore are offering vegan and vegetarian options, and more plant-based establishments have been popping up across the city.
If you’re keen to try them out for yourself or are looking for a spot to dine with vegan friends, here is our guide to the best vegan restaurants in Singapore. From Western fare to Chinese and Indian dishes, we’ve got your plant-based food needs covered.
