The ketogenic diet, often known as the keto diet, calls for a diet high in fat, low in carbohydrates, and moderate in protein. More recently, it has gained a lot of popularity worldwide. Slowly, more and more people are adopting a keto lifestyle, while more restaurants are starting to incorporate keto-friendly dishes on their menu.
Why keto?
When carbs are replaced with fats, your body enters a state of ketosis and starts using fat as fuel. Though it’s lovely for individuals trying to lose weight, the linked health advantages — lower blood sugar and insulin levels — are even more significant.
Some may have a perception that keto-friendly meals entails a restrictive diet, since carbohydrates are replaced with lipids (fats). This means that foods like bread, pasta, pizza and most kinds of desserts are off limits.
Here’s our roundup of the best keto restaurants in Singapore that challenges the definition of a keto meal, reinventing carbs-loaded dishes such as pizzas and bread into its keto variation.
1. Sofi Café Pizza
If you had to give up pizza, you’d rather go hungry, right? With this in mind, thankfully, Sofi Café Pizza is the keto diet-friendly solution to all of our Italian food desires.
When searching for keto restaurants in Singapore, the last place you may think of is an award-winning Italian eatery running for over 30 years. It serves Italian keto brunch, pizza, spaghetti, dessert, and beverages all in one location.
We recommend all kinds of pizzas that start; genuinely, all are delicious in their way. For other keto Italian dishes, go for the Beef Lasagna ($32) or Handcrafted Gnocchi with Roasted Pork Belly Steak ($45). Even their Bulletproof Coffee ($8.8 for hot, $10.8 for iced) is keto!
You can bring non-keto pals as you enjoy your wonderful Italian low-carb meal because they also have vegan and organic menus.
Location: 81 Tras St, Singapore 079020
Opening hours: 11am-10:30pm
2. The Living Cafe
The Living Cafe serves a variety of nutritious plant-based cuisine along with lean white meat and fish for the non-vegetarian clientele. You can be reassured you’re getting healthy ingredients in every dish you eat at this restaurant because their menu is devoid of dairy, red meat, preservatives, and processed sugar.
The cafe’s advances as a well-liked plant-based restaurant have propelled it to the top of Singapore’s lists of healthy places. They are known for serving exquisite and nourishing raw and plant-based cuisine.
Moreover, The Living Cafe doesn’t just offer services. It also encourages you to embrace a sensible eating philosophy. It is taking artificial additives, preservatives, and refined sugar out of your diet, for instance. What is more incredible? They emphasize raw foods and produce sourced sustainably, demonstrating their consideration for the environment.
We recommend Zucchini Lasagna ($21), Pesto Zoodles ($18), and Vegan Keto Bowl ($19).

Opening hours: 8am-6pm
3. The Daily Cut
The Daily Cut may be Singapore’s most flexible low-carb menu with countless keto-friendly combinations, as you can create your customised salad bowl.
This salad bar, which is only available at Raffles Place and Tanjong Pagar, should not be missed. Additionally, they are renowned for serving a large amount of protein, which is even better for gym buffs.
Here’s how you order.
- First, pick the size of your bowl and the protein of your choosing
- Add some whole vegetables
- Finally, choose from a variety of nutrient-rich grains like quinoa
Build your bowl with proteins, veggies, grains, vegetarian-friendly tofu, and protein-packed meats like Sirloin steak. Add toppings of extra healthy foods like quinoa and avocado to your orders to bulk them.
The best part is that they change their menu frequently, featuring only the best ingredients of the season. For autumn, opt for roasted pumpkin and eggplants for a warm and comforting bowl. Each bowl starts from $10.5.
Location: Multiple locations
4. Oatsome
A clean bakery in Tanjong Pagar that makes you rethink what a guilt-free dessert can actually taste like.
The concept is Korean-inspired and built around a housemade Greek yoghurt that goes through a 72-hour straining process — the result is thick, high-protein, and low-calorie in the way that sounds too good to be true until you eat it.
Location: 100 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088521
Opening hours:
Monday: 12-7pm
Tue-Wed: Closed
Thu–Fri 12pm–7pm
Sat–Sun 11am–3pm
5. Carrotsticks & Cravings
Carrotsticks & Cravings built its following on one simple premise: real food, no fillers. The build-your-own bowl format is where most keto regulars land — a protein base, roasted or raw vegetables, a fat-forward dressing, and none of the grains or sauces that sneak carbs into otherwise clean meals. It doesn’t market itself as a keto cafe, which is arguably why the food tastes better than most that do.
Location: Multiple Locations
6. Kekito Bakery
The Everton Park institution that made keto cakes worth actually craving.
Kekito has been running its award-winning low-carb bakery from a shophouse unit in Everton Park since 2019, and the regulars treat it like a neighbourhood secret they’ve decided to stop keeping. Everything on the counter is flourless, sugar-free, and gluten-free — Japanese-style cheesecakes, matcha rolls, cream puffs — and none of it tastes like a compromise. It’s the kind of place you end up visiting for the almond flour loaf and leaving with three other things you didn’t plan on buying. If you’re new to keto and convinced you’ll miss baked goods the most, start here before you decide anything.
Location: 3 Everton Park, #01-73, Singapore 080003
Opening hours:
Monday: Closed
Tue–Fri: 11am–7pm
Saturday: 11am–4pm
Sun 11am–2pm
7. Superfood Kitchen
Raffles City’s most practical keto lunch option is also the one with a nutrition calculator built into the ordering kiosk.
Superfood Kitchen runs a build-your-own bowl concept out of Raffles City’s basement, and the keto credentials are built in rather than bolted on — cauliflower rice as a base swap, protein-forward toppings, and dressings that don’t come pre-loaded with sugar.
The self-ordering kiosks calculate macros as you build, which is either a useful feature or a rabbit hole depending on how deep you’re in. Either way, it’s one of the most accessible keto-friendly options in the CBD.
Location: 252 North Bridge Road, Raffles City Shopping Centre #B1-78, Singapore 179103
Opening hours: 11am–9pm
