Loving Hut

All Loving Hut restaurants are strung together with a profound earth-loving philosophy. With over 200 stores in more than 24 countries, Indonesia is not excluded from this brand’s global zeal to switch the paradigm of eating. In Loving Hut Jakarta, classic Indonesian fare accompanies the widely available Asian and Western menu. Thanks to their hearty, vegetarian rendition of traditional food, you can keep the healthy diet commitments and not deprive yourself of Indonesia’s tasty Bali rice or soto.

SaladStop!

This Singaporean restaurant brand is one of the first and largest healthy food chains in Asia, branching out as far as Japan, Korea, even Spain. The wide selection of ingredients and toppings presents an opportunity to create personalised salads to suit your every taste, meat or no meat. Otherwise, settle for their tried-and-tested signature salads, like the vegan ‘Go Geisha’ or vegetarian ‘Iron “Wo” Man’. More than just a place to get your portion of greens, SaladStop! is at the head of global environmental and animal welfare movements.

Namy House Vegetarian

As a vegetarian, you may be missing out on many Indonesian meat-centric comfort foods. Fret no more, as Namy House Vegetarian has successfully recreated meat-free versions of Indonesia’s classics, down to the all-time favourite rendang. You can also skip the faux meat and go straight for the tempeh, tofu, and vegetables; don’t forget to switch to red rice for higher nutritional value.

Dharma Kitchen

When you think about Chinese food, delicious (but calorie-loaded) pork dishes may come to mind. Say goodbye to that health vs taste dilemma, thanks to Dharma Kitchen and its commitment to creating better, healthier versions of various Asian recipes (and some Western ones, too). At a glance, the menu shows classic fare like Peking duck or Chinese dumplings, but the meat is replaced with mushrooms or other mixes. This restaurant was established more than two decades ago, giving it time to perfect every recipe.

Fortunate Coffee

Fortunately for vegetarians in Jakarta, abstaining from meat doesn’t mean forgoing local cuisine you know and love for some trendy Western salad bar. LN Fortunate Coffee recreates popular dishes such as pasta and the Chinese Hainan rice for the health-conscious, skipping on ingredients like MSG. This restaurant-slash-café offers a wide range of vegetarian light bites and desserts that go excellently with their soy-based lattes.

SNCTRY Health Bar

Behind SNCTRY’s healthy bowls are organic local farmers and communities of creators passionate about providing wholesome, nutritious food for everyone. From the garden-fresh green fruits to house-made yogurt, only premium quality ingredients are selected to make their famed creations like the Mediterranean Salad, Tempe Burrito Wrap, or Coconut Breeze Bowl. Pair it with SNCTRY’s very own cold-pressed juice or smoothies.
