Best Vegetarian Tasting Menus in Singapore 2026

Where Singapore's vegetarian cooking actually lives

The best vegetarian tasting in Singapore is not a watered-down version of a meat menu; it comes from kitchens that already cook this way. The clearest is Marguerite, which lists a vegetarian tasting on the printed menu rather than building one on request. After that the strength is in Indian fine dining. South Indian and North Indian cooking are deeply vegetarian by tradition, so a room like Thevar or Rang Mahal can hand a vegetarian a full menu without improvising, drawing on lentils, paneer, ghee-rich gravies and vegetables treated as the main event. The modern rooms here, Labyrinth, Candlenut and Saint Pierre, compose a vegetarian degustation to order, and do it well, but they are working from a meat-first kitchen rather than a vegetarian one.

The list below opens with Marguerite, the dedicated vegetarian tasting, then two-star Thevar and one-star Labyrinth and Candlenut, then Rang Mahal and Saint Pierre. Every name links to its full review, with the chef, the star where it holds one, and how to ask for the vegetarian menu. For the wider city, start with the Singapore dining guide, and if you need a strictly plant-based meal, see the separate guide to vegan fine dining in Singapore.

The vegetarian list

Marguerite

Garden-driven modern European · Gardens by the Bay · 1 Michelin star · Michael Wilson

Vegetarian menu: dedicated 'herbivore' tasting, around S$288

Marguerite is the one room here that prints a vegetarian tasting rather than building one on request. Inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay, Michael Wilson cooks a one-Michelin-star menu so produce-led that a dedicated 'herbivore' tasting, around S$288, sits naturally alongside the standard one. The setting does half the work, the world's largest glasshouse wrapped around a table of vegetables at their peak. No other fine-dining room in the city pairs the food and the setting this neatly for a meatless meal. Book the herbivore menu directly when you reserve. A natural fit for a Singapore anniversary in a glasshouse.

Thevar

Modern South Indian · Mohamed Sultan Road · 2 Michelin stars · Mano Thevar

Vegetarian menu: South Indian vegetarian tasting on request

Thevar is the most decorated Indian kitchen in the city, Mano Thevar's two-Michelin-star room, now at 16 Mohamed Sultan Road with a three-seat chef's table and a private room upstairs. Its cooking is modern South Indian, a cuisine that is half-vegetarian by tradition, so a vegetarian tasting here is not a compromise but a core register, built on dosa, lentils, paneer and vegetables given the same technique as the meat courses. This is the strongest vegetarian meal in Singapore for a diner who wants ambition rather than a garden theme. Flag vegetarian when you book; the kitchen needs little notice. A standout to impress clients in Singapore.

Labyrinth

Modern Singaporean · the Esplanade · 1 Michelin star · LG Han

Vegetarian menu: vegetarian tasting on request

Labyrinth is LG Han's one-Michelin-star room at the Esplanade, where he rebuilds Singaporean hawker and home dishes from local produce sourced through the city's own farms and kelongs. The kitchen composes a vegetarian tasting on request that keeps the playful, memory-driven format of the main menu, reworking familiar local flavours without the meat or seafood. It is the most distinctly Singaporean vegetarian meal on the page, a tasting of the city's own cooking rather than a European or Indian tradition. Ask for the vegetarian menu when you reserve. A characterful choice for a Singapore first date.

Candlenut

Peranakan · Dempsey Hill · 1 Michelin star · Malcolm Lee

Vegetarian menu: vegetarian Peranakan menu on request, much of it vegan

Candlenut, on Dempsey Hill, is the world's first Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant, where Malcolm Lee cooks the Straits-Chinese dishes of his family. A vegetarian version of the menu is available on request, and because Peranakan cooking leans on coconut, spice pastes and vegetables, much of it is accidentally vegan as well. The format is family-style sharing rather than a strict counter tasting, which makes it the most relaxed room here for a group. This is the vegetarian meal for a diner who wants heritage cooking and big, layered flavours. Request the vegetarian menu in advance. A warm pick for a Singapore team dinner.

Rang Mahal

North Indian fine dining · Naumi Hotel · since 1971

Vegetarian menu: extensive vegetarian a la carte and set menus

Rang Mahal has cooked North Indian fine dining since 1971 and reopened at the Naumi Hotel in September 2025, carrying with it one of the deepest vegetarian repertoires in the city. North Indian cooking is built for vegetarians, so the menu runs paneer, dals, tandoori vegetables and rich gravies as headline dishes rather than sides. It is the most flexible room on the page, an a la carte fine-dining setting rather than a fixed tasting, which suits a table that mixes vegetarians and meat-eaters. This is the choice for classic Indian vegetarian cooking at a fine-dining level. Ask the team to build a vegetarian set menu. A reliable room for a Singapore business lunch.

Saint Pierre

French-Asian · One Fullerton, Marina Bay · 2 Michelin stars · Emmanuel Stroobant

Vegetarian menu: vegetarian degustation to order

Saint Pierre is the European entry, Emmanuel Stroobant's two-Michelin-star French-Asian room overlooking Marina Bay from One Fullerton. Stroobant is a long-standing vegetarian advocate who cooks the style by choice, so the kitchen composes a detailed vegetarian degustation to order rather than a quick swap. It is the most formal room here and the one that treats a vegetarian tasting with the most finesse, course for course against the meat menu. This is the vegetarian meal for a special-occasion European tasting with a view. Flag vegetarian when you book. A polished seat for a Singapore anniversary over a bayfront tasting.

How to ask for a vegetarian menu in Singapore

Two rules cover it. First, at Marguerite you do not need to ask at all; the herbivore tasting is on the printed menu, so just book it. Second, everywhere else, flag vegetarian when you reserve rather than on arrival, ideally a day or two ahead, so the kitchen can plan the courses. The Indian rooms, Thevar and Rang Mahal, need the least notice because vegetarian cooking is built into the cuisine. The key detail is to say how strict you are: a kitchen reading "vegetarian" will still use ghee, paneer, cream or eggs, which is fine for most vegetarians but not for a vegan, so specify if dairy and eggs are out. If you need a fully plant-based meal, read the separate Singapore vegan fine dining guide, and compare against the best vegetarian restaurants worldwide and the best Indian restaurants worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I get a vegetarian tasting menu in Singapore?

The clearest fit is Marguerite at Gardens by the Bay, which prints a dedicated 'herbivore' vegetarian tasting alongside its regular menu. Beyond it, Indian fine dining carries the deepest vegetarian cooking: two-Michelin-star Thevar builds a South Indian vegetarian menu, and Rang Mahal has cooked vegetarian thalis since 1971. Candlenut, the Michelin-starred Peranakan room, serves a vegetarian menu on request, Labyrinth reworks Singaporean produce, and Saint Pierre composes a vegetarian degustation to order. See the full Singapore dining guide for more.

Which Singapore Michelin restaurants have a vegetarian menu?

Several. One-star Marguerite runs a printed 'herbivore' vegetarian tasting; two-star Thevar cooks a South Indian vegetarian menu drawing on a cuisine that is half-vegetarian by tradition; one-star Candlenut offers a vegetarian Peranakan menu on request, much of it accidentally vegan; one-star Labyrinth reworks local produce into a vegetarian tasting; and two-star Saint Pierre composes a vegetarian degustation to order. Marguerite and Thevar are the most natural fits because each has a vegetarian menu already in its repertoire rather than improvised on the night.

Is vegetarian easier than vegan in Singapore fine dining?

Yes, markedly. A vegetarian brief allows dairy, butter, ghee and eggs, which gives a kitchen far more to work with, so many rooms keep a vegetarian menu ready where a fully vegan one has to be built from scratch. Indian fine dining is the clearest example: a large part of the cuisine is vegetarian by default, so Thevar and Rang Mahal cook it as a first language rather than a substitution. If you need a fully plant-based meal, ask specifically for vegan, and see the separate guide to Singapore vegan fine dining.

How do I request a vegetarian tasting menu in Singapore?

For Marguerite, simply book the 'herbivore' menu, which is listed alongside the standard tasting. For the others, flag vegetarian when you reserve rather than on arrival, ideally a day or two ahead, so the kitchen can plan the courses. Indian rooms such as Thevar and Rang Mahal need the least notice because vegetarian cooking is core to the cuisine. Specify whether you eat eggs and dairy, since a kitchen reading 'vegetarian' may still use ghee, paneer or cream, which matters if your diet is stricter.

How much does a vegetarian tasting menu cost in Singapore?

You usually pay the room's standard tasting price, since a vegetarian menu is rarely discounted. Marguerite's herbivore tasting runs around S$288, and the Michelin rooms at Thevar, Labyrinth, Candlenut and Saint Pierre sit at their normal tasting figures, which span roughly S$100 to S$400 depending on the kitchen. Rang Mahal, an a la carte fine-dining room rather than a fixed tasting, is the most flexible on budget. Confirm the current price and what the vegetarian menu includes when you book.
