Undeniably, meatless dining options have seen an exponential growth in following and advocates over the recent years due to increased awareness towards healthy living, furthered by the pandemic’s impact.
With a myriad of establishments now offering vegan menus and plant-based meat, here is our pick of meatless dining options you should totally check out for delicious meatless fare.
Analogue
Master mixologist Vijay Mudaliar puts sustainability at the heart of Analogue, his latest bar venture. Best known as the brains behind trailblazing cocktail bar Native, Mudaliar’s new project champions sincere, actionable sustainability solutions rather than mere lip service.
Set within the historic grounds of Chijmes, Analogue’s interior features a striking centrepiece: a 3D-printed bartop fashioned out of 1,600kg of recycled plastics. Surrounded by smaller tables – made with fungi, no less – the counter impresses with trippy contours amidst soothing turquoise gradients. True to form, the bar’s entirely plant-based menu is a first of its kind in Singapore, featuring familiar yet experimental bar grub such as Jackfruit Tacos, Nuggetz, and Pumpkin Dumplings.
Green Common
As the world’s first plant-based eatery, marketplace and product innovation platform, Green Common is a one-stop meal venture of Green Monday Group and lends its name from their mission to “Make Change Happen, Make Green Common”. Boasting state-of-the-art food technology and innovations that promise easy-to-find vegan options in supermarkets across Asia, the concept store distributes over 30 signature brands of plant-based products, including Beyond Meat, OmniSeafood, and Moving Mountains Foods.
Located at VivoCity, favourites at Green Common’s very own fully vegan restaurant include the Golden Fillet-no-fish, Hainanese Trick’en Rice, and Happy Beef Hor Fun.
Porcelain Cafe By Gratefood Co.
Nestled within the luxurious Porcelain Origins Spa at The Paragon, Porcelain Cafe is a collaborative venture between local superfood company Gratefood Co. and Porcelain. The plant-based wellness cafe serves açaí, chia & coconut yoghurt bowls, meal-replacement smoothies, and Singapore’s first mushroom & adaptogen specialty coffee. Perfect for the health and beauty conscious, these nourishing fixes not only promote better health and glowing skin, they’re also a feast for the eyes and ‘gram.
Real Food
Free from artificial preservatives, processed ingredients, and trans-fat, Real Food’s 100% organic menu caters to earth-friendly and health-conscious warriors looking to achieve their daily protein goals. The brand’s belief in showing zero compromise on food quality shines with their slow-food process, where dishes are prepared in small batches from scratch, using traditional, labour-intensive methods.
All of Real Food’s dine-in outlets also double up as retail grocer spaces. Their extensive menu includes favourites like Fruit Rojak, Mushroom Soy Carbonara, Potato and Cashew Samosa, and Sweet Pumpkin Pancakes.
The Vegetarian Butcher
To bring healthy, safe, and resilient food solutions that you’ll actually want to include in your diet, The Vegetarian Butcher finally opens in Singapore to inspire consumers to take one green step for the planet. Made by meat lovers, for meat lovers, its wide range of plant-based meats promises the taste and texture you get from meat, whilst being better for the planet and kinder to animals.
Four of the brand’s most popular products – Mince Charming, Chickened-Out Chunks, Little Peckers, and Big Winners – are also available at FairPrice, Cold Storage, as well as on RedMart.
