Vegan Singaporean Italian fusion dishes with bold flavors
"I note that Lion Dance Cafe, a vegan Singaporean Italian favorite, closed its permanent location this spring but has continued to host pop-ups and has a cookbook forthcoming; it's partnering with AlaMar for a four-course dinner on September 27." - Justine Jones
"Lion Dance Cafe has championed decadent laksa with a plant-based menu but will close its permanent space at the end of April." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Singaporean delights re-plated through a plant-based lens is the name of the game at Lion Dance Cafe , a MICHELIN Selected vegan restaurant in Oakland, USA, born from a partnership between Singapore-born CY Chia and Shane Stanbridge. The vibrant colours of the restaurant’s décor go nicely with its signature Singapore-centric offerings, whether that be the vibrant milky-red of plant-based Laksa or the pastel green hues of Pandan Butter Nian Gao ." - Alvin Lim
"Listed alongside other Bay Area eateries serving exclusively plant-based food, Lion Dance Cafe is cited as an example of restaurants using agroecological methods, such as foraging and plant-focused cooking, rather than tech-centered solutions." - Paolo Bicchieri
"I haven't had a chance to go yet, but Lion Dance Café from the S&M Vegan folks looks very, very good and I can't wait to try it." - Eater Staff
