It’s okay

Good flavours and nice ambience, but overall underwhelming experience. Ordered the Nature Fried Kuey Teow and a glass of water, but wasn’t given the water. When I asked, they said it costs 50 cents for a cup of water. Could count on one hand the pieces of mock meat and mushrooms in the dish.

Peace ...

Nature Cafe @ SMU with a beautiful lawn view

Late Lunch at Nature Cafe @ SMU!

Enjoyed a simple yet satisfying vegetarian lunch at Nature Café, nestled within Singapore Management University at Orchard Road.

I love this location—it’s perfect for both locals and tourists alike. The café boasts an al fresco dining area overlooking a beautiful, spacious lawn, with the National Museum of Singapore just within sight.

It’s an ideal spot to unwind, soak in the surroundings, or indulge in a quiet afternoon tea on a sunny day or dinner.

Nature Café, formerly located at Aperia Mall, has been at SMU for quite some time now.

I’m glad I finally had the chance to stop by and relish their delicious vegetarian offerings. Their menu remains unchanged, and the weekday lunch special—featuring a tempting SGD $2 add-on promotion—looks like a great deal!

SMU is fairly large, so finding this vegetarian gem might take a little navigation. Just keep in mind that it’s a short walk from the National Museum of Singapore and Bras Basah MRT station, right next to the Lazada One Building.

Operating hours: 10.30am - 9pm (Sunday closed).

Nature Cafe, SMU

Very nice guy serving. Service would improve further if management educated servers re difference between vegan and vegetarian. I had a bowl of herbal soup, it was tasty.

Pros: Nice server

Cons: All vegan is always better, Menu marking vegan items would be an improvement, Management could educate staff what vegan means

Lovely cafe with delicious vegan options

Had an amazing meal exploring plant-based flavors that completely hit the spot! 🍽️ (Note: menu do note if the dish is vegan or contain dairy)

From hearty Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables (vegan) 🍛 to the tangy and vibrant Kimchi Fried Rice 🍚, each dish brought something unique to the table. The Monkey Head Mushroom 🍄 was a showstopper with its meaty texture, while the Vegetarian Fungus with Fin Soup 🍲 gave us all the comfort feels.

For pasta lovers, the Spicy Aglio Olio 🌶️ was a spicy, savory treat. Love the ambience of the cafe. 😋

The pricing is quite affordable and we love the huge variety of food. Ambience is bright and there is also outdoor area. The food we tried were delicious and generally above average. Near MRT too, very convenient.
