VeganBurg Eunos

VeganBurg Eunos is the flagship outlet of VeganBurg, a burger brand that uses only plant-based ingredients. It is at 44 Jalan Eunos, in the east of Singapore. The brand opened its first shop on Jalan Eunos on 10 October 2010.

VeganBurg describes itself as the world's first fully plant-based burger joint. It was co-founded by Alex Tan and his wife, Tracy. The brand also runs an outlet in Hesperia, California.

What to order

Burgers are the heart of the menu. Each one pairs a plant-based patty with fresh vegetables, a bun and a house sauce. Nothing contains eggs, dairy or honey.

• Cracked Pepper Mayo: the original burger, on the menu since 2010
• Chili Krab: a sweet and spicy burger inspired by Singapore's chilli crab, sold only in Singapore
• Hainanese Chikn' Burg: a nod to Hainanese chicken rice
• Truffle Bello: a crisp burger with truffle flavour
• Avo Beets: avocado and beetroot together in one bun
• Smoky BBQ: barbecue sauce with vegan cheese

You can choose your patty. The options are crispy soy, grilled soy, plant protein, or crispy tofu with broccoli. The soy patties are handmade from GMO-free soybeans. If you need to avoid soy, ask for the portobello mushroom patty before you order.

The fries are made with GMO-free potatoes and organic seaweed. Wraps and a smaller Mini Burg are also on the menu. Extras such as avocado, vegan cheese and pineapple can be added to most burgers.

Good to know before you go

• This is a fast-casual shop, so it does not take reservations.
• Any burger can come in a gluten-free bun or a lettuce wrap instead.
• The kitchen is not allergen-free or nut-free.
• VeganBurg itself advises people with food allergies not to eat there, because cross-contact can happen.

The place works well for mixed groups. Meat eaters can try a familiar burger format, while vegans and vegetarians can order anything on the menu.
