13 Vietnamese Restaurants in Singapore

Just about everyone knows about pho – the delicious, fresh, and healthy soup that has become one of Vietnam’s most beloved exports. Simply take a trip to any of the Vietnamese restaurants in Singapore and you’ll find it on the menu. The width of noodles and the flavour of the broth varies depending on the restaurant, so chances are you’ll never tire of finding new styles to try. There’s a lot more to Vietnamese cuisine than pho, though. Some dishes feature French influences – from years of colonialism – like baguettes stuffed with a variety of Vietnamese fillings including pork belly, tofu and grilled chicken, known as bánh mì. There are several Vietnamese restaurants in Singapore that specialise in bánh mì, such as Sandwich Saigon on East Coast Road and O Banh Mi at Tiong Bahru Plaza. There’s a whole world of Vietnamese dishes out there waiting for you to discover, so why not begin your culinary exploration with us today?

If you happen to be an herbivore or perhaps your dining partner is, you’d be pleased to know that the Vietnamese restaurants in Singapore cater to vegetarians (and vegans), too. The word for vegetarian in Vietnamese is chay, and in Vietnam, many restaurants will happily prepare your food the chay way. The same goes for Vietnamese restaurants in Singapore, which tend to offer a separate vegetarian menu, but if that’s not the case, simply enquire with your server. Make sure to request that there’s no fish sauce, as this is a common ingredient in Vietnamese dishes, even for those that don’t contain meat. Whether you’re a vegetarian or not, the fresh and healthy dishes at the Vietnamese restaurants in Singapore offer a welcome change from the usual.
