With a farm-to-table concept, this
restaurant sits on the second level
of The Summerhouse complex.
here, every dish is cooked with
harvests from the garden, whether
as garnishes or herbs. These
include Sweet Potato Leaves ($14;
with freshly-picked sweet potato
leaves from the garden, wood-fired
zucchini and asparagus, and green
olive) and French Toast ($14), a
brunch menu item that features an
assortment of fruits and garnishings
from the garden. The restaurant
works closely with a collective of
growers, producers and kelongs
(offshore platform built with wood),
to ensure value-added sustainable
practices. The dinner menu even
tells you exactly which farm the
ingredients come from.

It’s not just the panoramic views from this restaurant and bar that’s
impressive – its sustainability focus from the menu to the restaurant’s
design is as well. The menu of seasonal cuisine, inspired by the rich
Mediterranean culinary heritage, sees Artemis working with partners
to obtain the finest organic produce and sustainably sourced
seafood. Most vegetables come from France, cod from Scotland, and
hamachi and scallops from Japan. Plus, all the meats cooked here
are ethically farmed, free-range and hormone-free. Straws are made
from corn starch that is 100 per cent biodegradable, and the tulip
umbrellas above the outdoor terrace bar serve more than aesthetic
purposes – they are designed to allow rainwater to drain into the
ground, which is then recycled within the building.

Salmon is the hero ingredient at this healthy
fast food joint, which prides itself on using
farm-raised salmon caught from the icy fjords of
Norway, certified sustainable by the Aquaculture
Stewardship Council. despite being its first
international outpost, the menu offers a good
range of global flavours – you can opt for an
European Wrap (from $10.90) stuffed with
grilled salmon fillet, greek yogurt sauce and feta
cheese, or seek comfort in a bowl of Asian Soup
(from $10.90) that features Thai green curry with
salmon cubes. Its green efforts also extends out
of the menu to its fully biodegradable crockery,
including plastic-free straws.

going meat-free is one way to do our part for the environment and the boom of
plant-based dishes in Singapore has made it easier for us to do so. This local burger
joint, which serves a wide variety of 100 per cent plant-based burgers, is no stranger
to vegans in Singapore. besides noshing on best-sellers like the Avocado Beetroot
Burger (from $11.90), you can choose to top up $4 for an Impossible burger patty,
the award-winning “bleeding” meat alternative by Impossible Foods, which shares
the same goal as Veganburg – that is to eradicate factory farming and dial down the
effects of climate change, one burger at a time.
