Best vegetarian restaurants in Singapore
1. Whole Earth
Available for takeaway and delivery.
Thai-Peranakan dishes take the spotlight at this vegetarian restaurant – surprising, considering how meat-heavy these cuisines are. It’s Michelin Bib Gourmand-approved, so we suggest you give the menu highlights a go. Must-tries include Penang rendang (made of shiitake mushrooms), deep-fried tofu with crispy oats, monkey head mushroom and broccoli with a sauce of angelica root and wolfberries, and olive rice or XO fried rice for that carb fix.
Whole Earth, 76 Peck Seah Street, Singapore 079331
2. Elemen
Available for takeaway and delivery.

Elemen doles out flavourful vegetarian food in Singapore – think salads like quinoa or rojak fruit and mains of claypot truffle fried rice and porcini mushroom pizza. Swing by if you’re looking for an earthy feast. It offers wallet-friendly sets – $26.80 for five courses or $32.80 for eight courses, including starters, salads, soups, mains and desserts.
