There's Vegetarian Aplenty on Centro's Menu

If you're on a hunt for good vegetarian food before you head to the movies (or after), let's talk about Centro's menu for a second, because there's more on it than you'd expect.

Start with the newest addition: Eggplant Parmigiana. Its layers of roasted eggplant, rich tomato sauce, and melted cheese, baked until golden and bubbling. Hearty, comforting, and honestly the kind of dish that makes you want seconds.

If you're sharing, order the Warm Brazilian Cheese Bread. It's mochi-like texture, cheesy, served warm, and disappears fast once it hits the table.

Then there's the Miso Labneh, a Centro classic that's been winning people over for a while now. Creamy, tangy labneh meets the umami depth of miso, and somehow it works perfectly as a starter, light but full of flavour. Served with crisps on the side, of course.

For mains, the Pesto Pasta is a solid go to. Fresh pasta of your choice tossed in a vibrant, herby pesto made in house, simple and done well. If you'd rather something a little different, the Italian Soft White Polenta is creamy and comforting especially if you’re a fan of truffle. It’s a great option if you want warmth without the heaviness of meat.

And no visit is really complete without the Ambassadors Salad. It's the one regulars order by name, fresh and well balanced, and works whether you're vegetarian or just want something lighter next to your mains.

So if vegetarian dining on Orchard Road is what you're after, Centro's worth the trip. Come hungry, there's a lot to try.
