Kicking things off with Asia’s first plant-based butcher, Love Handle is an innovative joint that strives to create plant-based versions of meat butchery fare. At their Ann Siang Hill Deli, you can tuck into indulgent dishes like their Pulled Rendang Burger or a Double Cheeseburger with smashed Impossible meat patties. But the real centrepiece here is their Impossibro Wellington with spiced Impossible meat and mushroom duxelle wrapped in puff pastry. But wait there’s more!

Before there were Impossible Burgers at burger joints everywhere in Singapore, there was VeganBurg doing it first. A favourite of ours, VeganBurg make all of their burgers from a combination of soy and mushrooms and have a range of 10 different burgers that can all be customized with addons like Vegan bacon or Vegan cheese. We highly recommend their Avocado Beetroot burger which combines a plant-protein patter with fresh avocado, beetroot, lettuce, onions, and creole tomato all on an artisan bun. With many “Sidekicks” to compliment your burger including crispy fries or even char-grilled Sizzlin’ Broccoli, you are in for a good time at this Vegan institution.

9. MTR Singapore
Another highly recommended South Indian Vegetarian joint is MTR. MTR is a mainstay of Little India so expect a queue and there are no reservations but the wait is absolutely worth it.

Another winner is the Pudi Masala Dosa, a thick rice and lentil dosa topped with spiced tomatoes and chutney.
