You might have come across situation where vegetarian cuisine is typically associated with the word “bland”. Truth be told, vegetarian cuisine can just be as tasty and delicious as their meaty counterparts. So, whether you have already adopted a vegetarian diet or decided to give it a try, here are the Top 10 Vegetarian Restaurants in Singapore.
1) Elemen
Words like “guilt-free” do not commonly go hand in hand with heavy Italian food like pizzas and pasta. But at Elemen, you can savour the likes of wholesome yet meatless Wild Mushroom & White Truffle Pizza or Black Truffle Porcini Pasta. There are Asian versions as well, namely Asian Curry with Crispy Roti and Blue Flower Tofu with Black Truffle Wild Rice. Don’t forget to make room for dessert, as Elemen offers sweet delights such as Chilled Pumpkin Puree with Coconut Ice Cream and Chocolate Mousse Dome. They also provide set meals for 5 or 8 courses, with the price starting at $26.80++ and above. Elemen can be currently found at Millenia Walk, Thomson Plaza and Harbourfront Centre but there will be two more branches coming soon at Paya Lebar Quarter and Great World City.
