Top 10 Low-Carb Keto Restaurants: Singapore
Pack your bags and taste buds for Singapore’s ultra-modern, gastronomic playground. If you’re looking for a globe-trotting survey of sugar-free, keto-compatible ingredients, the Lion City has given us a list of one kingly carb-less feast after another.
Fusing low-carb ingredients from around the world into keto-friendly dishes seems like a familiar pastime to the restauranteurs of Singapore. With sugar-free, gluten-free, diabetic-safe menus on every corner, the island nation’s cosmopolitanism extends beyond its many cultural influences. And don’t worry, many of the low-carb restaurants on our list are vegetarian and vegan friendly!
#1 – Afterglow

Afterglow’s reputation as the best plant-based restaurant in Singapore is well-deserved. Indeed, their high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients highlight Singapore’s natural beauty. Free of refined sugars, many of Afterglow’s dishes are keto compatible.
We recommend starting with the Teriyaki “Meat” Balls, then digging into the Tom Yum Zoodles. If you want to cool off from the warm Singapore climate, go for the Raw Crispy Lasagne, made from tender zucchini sheets and earthy shitake. Afterglow is whole-food, vegetarian keto at its finest!
#2 – The Living Café

The Living Café offers an array of plant-based healthy dishes with some lean white meat and fish added for the non-vegetarian crowd. Their menu is free from dairy, red meat, preservatives, and refined sugar, so you can be sure you’re getting clean ingredients no matter what you eat.
The Keto Brekkie Bowl and Mediterranean Omelette might be the best-tasting keto breakfasts in Singapore. But for a hearty day or evening meal to fill you up, go with the chicken or barramundi Brown Rice Bowl with cauliflower rice. If you prefer a starter and entrée combo, the Salmon and Daikon Noodle Salad is a cooler dish that makes the perfect lead-in to a Spiced Chicken Burger on a lettuce bun.
#3 – The Daily Cut

If whole food bowl-based eateries are your thing, The Daily Cut has a massive list of healthy ingredients to help you customize the perfect keto meal. You can choose from different types of chicken, fish, steak, and lamb for your protein, while avocado, almonds, and olive oil provide tasty options for healthy plant-based fats. With thousands of keto-friendly combinations, The Daily Cut may have Singapore’s most adaptable keto-friendly menu!
#4 – The Boiler

Singapore is a pescatarian’s paradise. Strategically situated between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, The Lion City knows how to catch, and The Boiler knows how to cook. Your best bet here for the ketogenically inclined, take 3 or 4 friends with you and dive into The Boiler’s Premium Set. Skip the starters and immerse yourself in Boston lobster, clams, prawns, Dungeness crabs, and smoked sausages. Their signature spices are a delightful blend of east Asian and western American that will have you positively floating home.
#5 – The Summerhouse

Redolent of the lush French countryside, The Summerhouse brings a keto-friendly taste of Old World Europe to the Singapore hinterland. While the dining room, garden domes, and outdoor café are worth the price of admission, you’re here for ketogenic cuisine.
How about a 100 hour Wagyu Brisket with kale, arugula, and broccolini? Try the Grilled Iberico Pork with Brussel sprouts and almonds if that doesn’t tempt you. The list of keto options includes fish and poultry as well, all curated by The Summerhouse’s farm-to-table quality control. Did we mention they do a keto brunch, too?
#6 – Nanbantei

Sushi lovers rejoice! Nanbantei delivers Singapore’s oldest Yakitori experience to the keto community with seaweed noodles and cauliflower rice. In the Japanese-inspired dining room, you can watch the chefs grill your chicken, pork, beef, lamb, fish, or veggies tableside. Few items on the menu are off-limits to keto dieters, provided you make cauliflower substitutions, so enjoy the taste of Japan on your visit to Singapore!
#7 – SOFI Café

In times past, someone visiting Singapore looking for keto-compliant Italian pasta would be out of luck. But for over 25 years, SOFI Café has catered to this type of gastronomic insanity. It is a one-stop-shop for Italian keto brunch, pizza, pasta, dessert, and drinks.
We heartily recommend their stupendously filling Handcrafted Gnocchi with Roasted Pork Belly Steak. Try the decadent keto Tiramisu with a Bulletproof Iced Coffee if you’re not down for the count after that. They also have organic and vegan menus, so you can bring non-keto friends along for the ride as you enjoy your excellent Italian keto feast.
#8 – Kekito Bakery

How does a Japanese-inspired keto, gluten-free, allergen-free bakery sound? How about one that consults with certified nutritionists when designing menu items? We thought so. If you have any kind of sweet tooth, you want these keto cakes, loaves of bread, and cookies.
The eggless Chocolate Rare Cheesecake has under 5 grams of net carbs per slice, while the Keto Bread Buns are under 3. So whether you’re looking for keto Strawberry Shortcake, Cheesy Bread, ice cream or homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies, Kekito Bakery delivers the goods.
#9 – Monti

Monti sits on prime real estate for a gorgeous view of Marina Bay. Everything about this high-end Tuscan restaurant oozes style and sophistication. The menu and décor blend elegance and attention to every exquisite detail. At Monti, you want steak. For a full-on case of keto class, start with a Fried Zucchini Flower with spicy ricotta, then tuck into the Prime Ribeye Steak with arugula, mushroom, Parmigiano, and mustard grains. Keto never tasted or looked so glamorous.
#10 – Seriously Keto

Singapore’s first all-keto bakery sets a high bar for healthy eating. Seriously keto focuses on healthy almond and coconut flour, adding free-range omega-3 eggs, dark chocolate, psyllium husk, and Himalayan pink salt to its recipes. They use erythritol as a sweetener, which is great for keto dieters and diabetics alike. They offer a tremendous variety of bread, cakes, cookies, snacks, and desserts that are all keto-friendly. Do yourself a favor – don’t miss the Red Velvet Cake. You deserve it!
