The Star Vista

The Star Vista, located in the lively Buona Vista precinct, stands out as one of Singapore’s most pet-welcoming lifestyle malls. With its distinctive open-air architecture, lush greenery, and breezy terraces, the mall perfectly combines urban sophistication with an easy-going, pet-inclusive vibe. Whether you’re here to shop for your pet’s essentials, enjoy a weekend brunch, or simply unwind in a space that celebrates community and comfort, The Star Vista offers an experience designed for both humans and their four-legged companions.

What immediately makes The Star Vista a favourite among pet owners is its open-concept design. Instead of fully enclosed corridors, the mall’s natural ventilation and wide, shaded walkways create a resort-like atmosphere where pets feel relaxed and at ease. Dogs on leash are welcome in most of the common areas, and many cafés and restaurants offer alfresco seating where pets can comfortably join their owners. The mall’s management has taken deliberate steps to make the environment inclusive by encouraging pet owners to use the designated outdoor paths and keeping water bowls available at select outlets.

A must-visit for pet parents is The Pet Safari, located on the upper level of the mall. This well-loved pet store is a one-stop hub offering premium pet food, accessories, toys, and grooming services. Whether you’re shopping for nutritious treats, a new harness, or a toy to spoil your furry friend, the friendly staff are always happy to share advice and recommendations. Many owners make The Pet Safari their first stop at The Star Vista before heading to one of the pet-friendly cafés nearby for a meal.

When it comes to dining, The Star Vista truly shines with its diverse selection of pet-friendly eateries. Warm Up Café is a standout, serving hearty Thai-Western fusion dishes in a stylish, relaxed outdoor setting where dogs are warmly welcomed. It’s common to see happy pups lounging beside their owners while they dig into a plate of pasta or sip on a fresh smoothie. Nearby, Chi-Bing, a modern Korean restaurant, offers an alfresco dining section that’s equally pet-accommodating. The casual vibe, combined with crowd favourites like Korean pancakes and bibimbap, makes it a go-to spot for pet parents looking for comfort food and companionship all in one.

For something a little different, Verandah@Rael’s provides a cosy Peranakan-Indonesian dining experience, complete with a shaded outdoor terrace where pets can sit alongside their owners. Its warm hospitality and homestyle cooking make it perfect for those seeking a quiet, homely meal after a long stroll with their dog. Café lovers will also enjoy Two Six Café, where artisanal coffee and brunch fare come with a side of tail wags. The pet-friendly outdoor area is a welcoming space for socializing with fellow pet owners or simply taking a peaceful break.

Beyond food and retail, The Star Vista’s location enhances its pet-friendly appeal. It sits right next to Buona Vista MRT station, making it easily accessible without needing to drive, and it’s surrounded by greenery. A short walk brings you to outdoor parks like Kent Ridge Park and Rochester Park, ideal for a post-lunch stroll or a quick play session. The mall’s gentle slopes, spacious courtyards, and open terraces provide a safe and enjoyable experience for pets of all sizes, ensuring that every visit feels refreshing and unrushed.

What truly sets The Star Vista apart is its atmosphere—it’s not just about being “pet-friendly” in policy, but in spirit. The combination of thoughtful design, considerate staff, and pet-welcoming outlets has made it a beloved hangout for Singapore’s pet community. On weekends, the courtyard buzzes with energy as families, couples, and pet owners gather for meals, conversations, and casual shopping. Dogs of all breeds and sizes can often be seen exploring the open spaces, making new friends, or napping contentedly at café terraces.

The mall’s emphasis on inclusivity and responsible pet ownership ensures that everyone—from animal lovers to everyday shoppers—can share the space harmoniously. As long as pets are leashed, well-behaved, and supervised, they’re not just allowed at The Star Vista—they’re embraced.

For pet owners in Singapore’s west, The Star Vista is the ideal spot to spend a relaxing afternoon. From shopping at The Pet Safari to dining at Warm Up Café or enjoying coffee at Two Six Café, it’s easy to see why this mall has become a favourite among those who believe that life—and leisure—is better with pets by your side.

Star Vista is a place worth taking a stroll.
Star Vista is a place worth doing a slow run.
Star Vista is a place worth venture in.
This is in the heart of Buona Vista, just stone away from the MRT Station and yet the look, the serene, the green, the food alley, historical sight, the buildings are all worth spending your time to explore. I experunce the calmness, the solemn looks and the spacious place in this developing place.
