Have an amazing tea selection too.
Pros: Vegan and veggie restaurant only, Delicious and healthy, CAKES

best vegan carbonara - Edit
not gonna lie, this place is expensive 🥲 portion sizes tend towards the smaller side, and you should be prepared for long waiting times.

Always a decent meal - Edit
I’ve been to this restaurant a few times now, this time ordering the steamed vegan dumplings (always delicious) and vegan yee mee noodles. The noodles were ok, I personally would have liked less gravy so more of the noodles stayed crunchy but that’s just personal preference 🙃

Delicious plant-based food - Edit
Visited Real Food while on travel. I’m thrilled to find a place offering so many healthy and wholesome options so close to my hotel. This restaurant provides real good whole food! The menu is extensive, diverse, and intriguing. Everything is vegetarian, most are vegan and gluten-free. Each item is labeled clearly. And the menu specifically states that some items can be modified to be vegan. I want to come back just to try more of the menu. Some items are fried, but everything is fresh and made with whole plant based ingredients, including burgers and chicken nuggets. I had the steamed dumplings with chili sauce and stuffed pepper salad. These photos do not deceive. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend you check out this place.

Healthy, tasty food - Edit
This was exactly what I was after - a burger, but healthy(ish) - I had the beetroot millet burger, with onion rings, raw salad and an extra side of wedges (potato and sweet potato). My partner tried the roasted pepper pizza with garlic added - and they added a lot of garlic! I really liked all the food though and left feeling full, but not gross. Ordering is by QR code at the table, payment by card at time of ordering. #Veganuary

Plenty of vegan options in a pleasant space - Edit
Real Food offers a diverse menu of primarily vegan dishes, including healthy options. The vegan dumpling soup has been a favorite of ours for years (especially nice on a rainy day). They sometimes have good house-made kombucha on tap. Service is warm and accommodating, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Healthy, organic and hand-made - Edit
In this restaurant, you know exactly what you eat as everything is clearly indicated: allergens (dairy, gluten, soy, egg and nuts), number of calories per meal (always useful) and also macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and protein)! On top of it, they indicate when the dish contains onion and/or garlic, and you have the option to remove it. It’s quite unusual to get that level of detail and it makes me feel like it should be the case everywhere… If only.
Read moreAlso you can easily request gluten-free alternatives. Their gluten-free pasta are made from scratch, you would have to pay a small supplement for it. But when it comes to burgers, they’re available with a choice of 3 breads by default (no supplement): sourdough burger bun, gluten-free muffin, or country sourdough. They also come with a choice of 2 sides that are all vegan.
But I kept the best for last: their pumpkin pancakes... My absolute favourite. If I lived in Singapore I would return very often just for them!
Pros: Open every day, Best pancakes ever, Amazing vegan & gluten-free options
Cons: Located in a shopping centre

Delicious food. I had a beet burger.it was pretty good, a bit bland despite seasonings, but the potato wedges were amazing. Other portions , a warm tofu salad-like dish, was also outstanding, full of unusual flavorings

Whole Food Dumplings and Vegan Cakes - Edit
Menu focuses on whole foods; vegan and allium-free options are clearly labelled. Their menu also has clear nutrition information (calories and macros). Highly recommend the housemade steamed dumplings filled with a hearty mixture of chopped ingredients such as carrots, French beans, mushrooms, tofu, and turnip. They also have some vegan cakes and Slow Bakes bread too, some of which are organic and/or gluten-free. Hope the egg and dairy can be removed/replaced in the menu so that the eatery is completely whole-food plant-based. Take note that the serving time tends to be quite long. Located within Orchard Central, conveniently linked to Orchard MRT.

My fav place in Singapore - Edit
When I was in Singapore this was my go-to location. The venue was really nice and the menu was mostly vegan. Everything was really tasty and well made.
Read moreI remember the chickpea and avocado salad was my favourite.
Only had a problem here, on a Sunday, where I arrived to the restaurant 1h20m before the close time and they said they weren't accepting any more customers, even if the restaurant didn't seem full at all, sucks a bit for the customers who go a long way to be there, we now have social media to warn when these things happen so that customers don't have to go all the way there.

The place there is abit atas (meaning high-class) but the vibes there are good. If you don't like the fake meat and love REAL Vegetables you can go there. For me I love MUSHROOM a lot hehe

Superlicious fried dumplings 😋 - Edit
Their crispy noodles is naturally seasoned yet flavourful, lots of green veggie, carrot, mushroom and taupok given, overall a healthier version of crispy noodles, worth trying 😋
Read moreTheir curry noodles is thick yet not too spicy, lots of potato, cabbage, green bean, brinjal and taopok given, overall a healthier version of curry noodles, can give it a try
Their herbs battered portobello mushroom burger, stacked with fresh greens and vegan mayonnaise is great, came together with boiled corn kernels and fried potato wedges. The fried portobello mushroom patty is fresh, hot, crispy yet juicy. The potato and sweet potato wedges are baked and salted, corn kernels are juicy, overall very satisfying, worth trying
Tried their fried vermicelli (change to spinach noodles), lots of fresh veggies given, must compliment their fried dumplings, it's super delicious, with very strong black pepper and mushroom aroma, highly recommended, must try, and it's still crispy even after 4 hours, the dumplings noodles (with steamed dumplings) is nice too, but of course the fried dumplings taste even greater

Yummy burger, fab onion rings - Edit
If there's anything I'm a sucker for, it's really good onion rings and Real Food hits the spot in all categories for their onion rings. Crispy, large, lightly battered and just yum. Yum yum yum yum yum. I could just sit there and eat the onion rings all day if they were healthier for me than they actually are. The burger was nice, and the service was great. Look forward to returning so I can try more items on the menu!

Food is good but service is slow - Edit
Waited for 40mins and the food arrives in dribs and drapes. When I’m done with my food, my partners food has not arrive. and I visited during their off peak hours so there is no reason to be so slow. Not for the impatient hungry customer.

Liked the food, service was staggered - Edit
I LOVE real food and go to the other branches all the time. When I went to this branch with friends, the food was great as always, but the service was quite staggered. One friend had finished their meal by the time the next person’s meal had arrived. I think this is a one-off situation, but it was a little disappointing

Lovely place. - Edit
Really nice quiet restaurant with slightly fancy feel. Enjoyed my spaghetti chickpea and beetroot vegan balls and had a tasty juice. All very healthy and nutritious, just a little more on the pricey side.
