Best vegan restaurants and cafes in Singapore for plant-based food
1. Analogue
If you’re familiar with the cocktail bar Native, you’ve surely heard of Analogue, a bar and restaurant putting a future-oriented spin on plant-based food and drinks. The carefully curated menu is anything but ordinary: get a table for a classy night of cactus cocktails and meat-free mains.
Analogue, #01-31, Chijmes, 30 Victoria Street, Singapore 187996
2. Afterglow
Afterglow encourages a vegan – or at least flexitarian – diet for a more sustainable world. And the cafe does this by serving up a variety of farm-to-table, eco-friendly food that’s anything but bland. Drawing inspiration from a range of cuisines, the menu includes avocado kimchi rolls with homemade kimchi, lentil flaxseed nuggets, and Kyoto summer which is an Asian tofu salad that provides a dose of protein without the meat.
Afterglow, available online or at 24 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089131
3. Cultivate Cafe
Housed within the beautiful Maxwell Reserve, Autograph Collection, Cultivate Cafe is one to visit – for both its elegant decor and the extensive vegan menu. This plant-based, GMO-free, gluten-free and vegan restaurant boasts a selection of flavourful dishes made from the finest organic ingredients, sourced locally and globally. Get your appetite going with starters like the classic hummus or beetroot pesto. Mains include a superfood soba bowl, a vegan mushroom burger, organic salads and sandwiches and more. For an added gastronomical adventure, try the selection of “cavi-art”, a sustainable alternative to caviar made with seaweed. How’s that for a fancy vegan treat?
For your convenience, Cultivate Cafe also has a grab-and-go counter for busy bees who want a quick bite. Pick up one of the many bakes (we hear the buttery croissants are a standout), alongside a fresh brew or a signature cold pressed juice for a fuss-free refuel.
