12 Top Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurants in Stockholm
Fact: It’s easy to go green! Vegetarian restaurants are no longer difficult to find in Stockholm. Actually the diversity of vegetarian cuisines available in the Swedish capital is growing steadily. Vegan cafes and restaurants are also becoming more popular as the new Nordic menu embraces both an environmental consciousness and current health trends. From Chef Mathias Dahlgren’s Michelin-starred, gourmet restaurant to quick and filling fast lunch places in the city center, here are 12 reasons to eat vegetarian and vegan.

Fast green food with heart and soul? Get your plant-based burger, quesadilla, sloppy joe and kebab fix at this little place on the northern bank of Lake Mälaren in Kungsholmen.
Falafelbaren
Restaurant, Canteen, Middle Eastern
Hands down, no debate: this is the best falafel in all of greater Stockholm. Delightfully fast service, super yummy fresh food and massive portions, too. Located in Stockholm’s trendy Södermalm, Falafelbaren is a firm favourite with locals lining up for their fix. And the restaurant’s statement that it stays open until 7pm on weekdays – or until it runs out of falafel – tells you all you need to know about this place’s popularity. Grab a baklava square or a couple of sultanas for an after-falafel treat!
