Being a vegetarian, often I am the decision maker in my clique to make the decision on where we should eat. I mean, I am glad that they are ones that don't mind going vegetarian food places with me but sometimes, it is really difficult to decide which place to bring them as there are several factors:
Location
Price Range
Food Quality
It is important to bring them to places that are nice, not too expensive and convenient so that I can let them know that vegetarian food is not only healthy and good but also very delicious! I know my vegetarian friends around also face this problem and thus, I decided to consolidate the recommended places on hand for the convenience of everyone :))
KOREAN CUISINE
DAEHWA VEGETARIAN
This place is one of the top place in my list as it never fails to surprise my friends and colleagues and it is somewhere whereby my friends and colleagues will crave for! If non-vegetarian or non-vegans crave for a vegetarian place, you know how good this place is!
My friends and I have tried majority of the food in their menu and here's what we highly recommend:
Budae Jigae, Kimchi Jigae, Kimchi Jeon, Japchae, Kimbap, Rabokki, Yangnyeom Broccoli, Tangsuyuk
📍 1 Fusionopolis Pl, #01-35 Galaxis, Singapore 138522 (Nearest MRT: One-north MRT)
Closed on Monday
Tue - Fri : 11am - 8.30pm
Sat, Sun: 12pm - 8.30pm
Price Range: $
BONELESS KITCHEN
Boneless Kitchen is the first outlet of Vegetarian Korean Cuisine in Singapore, also the sister outlet of Daehwa Vegetarian. It has still been a tight debate on which outlet is better, some saying Daehwa while others saying Boneless Kitchen. Nevertheless, the trend is that westies tend to go to Daehwa and easties to Boneless Kitchen. However, both outlets do have some slight difference in menu!
Recommended food: Budae Jigae, Kimichi Jeon, Kimbap, Tteokkochi
📍1 Irving Place #01-31, The Commerze@Irving, Singapore 369546 (Nearest MRT: Tai Seng)
Closed on Monday
Tue - Sun : 11.45am to 9pm
Price Range: $
JAPANESE CUISINE
TENG BESPOKE
I always can't decide between this Japanese restaurant or Herbivore especially since going to either of them only happens once in a blue moon since they are the higher price range kind of places. I think Teng Bespoke and Herbivore they each have their own strengths, they do have some similar food and similar price range, but I am not able to make a fair comparison of them as of today so to me, they are on par. But definitely go check them out if your wallet don't feel tight. Perhaps you can consider alternating between them :P
📍91 Bencoolen St, #01-50, Singapore 189652 (In Sunshine Plaza) [Nearest MRT: Rochor/Bencoolen]
Mon - Sun: 11 am–2:30 pm, 5–9 pm
Phone: 6337 7050
Price Range: $$$
HERBIVORE
One of the crowd favourite vegetarian Japanese restaurant. This place wouldn't disappoint, just that their prices are on the higher side but the ambience, food portion and flavour is what makes it worth it! They are popular for their sushi and ramen so you must order these when you visit them! Everything was just so tasty here so when you have the budget, do check this place out!
Recommended dish: Spicy Ramen, Goma Ramen, Crab Maki, Crispy Floss Maki, Avocado Maki, Yakitori, Katsu Curry, Teriyaki Don, Tempura Soba
📍190 Middle Rd, #01-13/14 Fortune Centre, Singapore 188979 (In Fortune Centre) [Nearest MRT: Rochor]
Mon - Sun: 11.30 am–2:30 pm, 5–9 pm

LUCKY CAT
An affordable Vegetarian/Vegan Japanese Cafe located in Hougang Community Centre. Quite out of the way but accessible by public transport. Their food are pretty good and worth it for their pricing. So if you and your friends crave for vegetarian japanese food but are on a tight budget to even visit Herbivore or Teng Bespoke, you can give this place a try! You will not regret it! However, this place do not offer reservations so you have to go early to queue for a seat.
Recommended dish: Lucky Tendon,Tofunagi Maki, Tofunagi Don, Shitake Cream and Cheese

WESTERN CUISINE
VEGANBURG
My favourite vegan burger chain in Singapore! Their burgers are juicy, flavourful and the best in town! They started from their flagship outlet in Eunos and they had several other outlets around Singapore when I was young. Yes, that is when I already visited them for their burgers. And then they slowly closed one shop after another and finally this year, they opened another outlet at Woodleigh Mall, though it's still far from me but at least its nearer than Eunos! And if it's worth it for me to travel from the west to the east for their burgers, that is telling you that this is a place you definitely have to try and even introduce to your friends! Not only I introduce this place to my friends, some of my non-vegetarian friends also introduce this place to me haha
Recommended Burgers: Shroom Burger, Chilli Krab Burger, Rasa Sayang Burger (seasonal) are my top favourite!

This shall be my second favourite vegan burgers chain. They have a total of 3 outlets in Singapore currently and they have a huge selection of burgers. They are slowly starting to have new variation of mains such as spaghetti, pizza, udon, chicken rice and some outlets even have some thai food selections! They also have their own ice cream and desserts (sometimes they have vegan egg tarts too!) Recommended to bring your friends if not all enjoys eating burgers. Also gotta mention the Clarke Quay outlet whereby there are nice scenery and ambience while eating so yes here's a must visit place with your friends when you are out of ideas!
