VEGETARIAN-FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS

Located on the grounds of Sofitel SPA, The Garden has been the go-to place on the island for those with specific dietary needs. Their menu caters easily to those who prefer vegan and gluten-free meals. Vegetarian options are aplenty, with their ugly heirloom tomato marinated in smoke oil, smashed avocado toast, and cauliflower steak with miso aioli, cauliflower hummus, herb salad. Dishes are healthy too, and the atmosphere is fittingly tranquil in keeping with the spa next door.

Try their dishes like the Braised Tofu with Wild Mushroom and Seasonal Greens in Brown Sauce, and their dim sum lunch always has a selection of exquisitely crafted vegetarian dim sum like the Steamed Crystal Dumpling with Black Truffle and Fresh Mushroom. The chefs from Cassia are also extremely accommodating with requests and are willing to adapt dishes to suit vegetarian and even vegan tastes.!

It may be a bit of a trek to this beachfront restaurant at the Shangri-la Rasa Sentosa resort, but the ocean views and the fabulous food make it all worth it. Wood-fired, thin-crust pizzas are their speciality and vegetarian guests can tuck into the Pizza Quattro Formaggi (made with four different types of cheese), Pizza Margherita and Pizza Verdure. And not to mention, a selection of pasta dishes such as Penne Arrabiata and Gnocchi alla Romana. Trapizza is also in incredibly child-friendly and makes for a great family meal spot.

This Quayside Isle restaurant has an exhaustive menu and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The variety is endless and healthy eaters can dine alongside friends and family without anyone having to compromise.

Bright and cheery, Sole Pomodoro at Sentosa Cove’s Quayside Isle is a vegetarian diner’s haven, with at least six dishes on their antipasti and salad menu and a wide array of pizza, pasta and risotto options to suit their needs. They even allow D-I-Y pizza options where you pick the toppings like mushrooms, artichokes, rocket leaves, tomatoes and more. Desserts should not be missed, their handmade gelato in particular, is excellent.

There are several reasons to be at this beach-side chill spot. The laid-back vibe and excellent drinks aside, FOC’s food menu is packed with delicious Mediterranean and Spanish eats, several of which are vegetarian.
Hot and cold tapas like the sizzling padron peppers, the refreshing burrata & seasonal tomatoes salad, and zucchini carpaccio make great starters, but do save room for the main event; a hearty vegetarian paella that can feed up to four hungry diners. There is even a live barbeque, churning out grilled organic veggies like the roasted pumpkin in five spices.
