Salad wraps, faux spicy chicken and fruity bowls — who says that Jakartans can't go green?

Vegetarian menus are becoming more common in culinary establishments around Jakarta, especially in South Jakarta. Responding to how urbanites have started paying attention to their calorie and sugar intake from the earliest possible age, more cafes and bistros across the region now offer customization of their existing menus — by either substituting their animal-based fibrin to vegetative protein or introducing an all-vegetable dish cooked with corn oil. The question now arises: which of these healthy joints suits one's palate best?

Here are several South Jakarta-based salad bars, eateries and juice pop-ups for your fat-conscious consideration. There is something for everyone.

Burgreens Pacific Place

For those who are still in the “tastemaker” phase

For beginners, vegetarian dining can be a daunting task — especially for diners who have no idea what to order and which plant-based delicacy is most suitable for their tastes. For such novices, Burgreens Pacific Place might be the best eatery to start.

Located on the lower ground floor of the South Jakarta mall, Burgreens has been noted for its commitment to serving healthy plant-based meals by incorporating natural and organic ingredients, therefore making its menu also ideal for non-vegetarians who are nonetheless looking for dishes that contain low carbohydrates and zero sugar. Customization is also available for diners who suffer from peanut allergies.
