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.

Chutney

Bar, Restaurant, Vegetarian, Vegan

Warm, spicy, delicious comfort food in a colourful cellar in sophisticated Södermalm. This vegetarian and vegan-friendly venue is hugely popular in the area. Chutney displays environmentally conscious and visually enthralling art. The bottomless bread baskets you can dip into as soon as you order make this a great place for when you are too tired to cook at home. There are usually a few stews cooking in large pots, and the portions are wonderfully generous. Make sure to try the vegan ginger snaps and sumptuous cheesecake, and there are a number of delicious desserts here, perfect for an after-dinner treat.

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!

Herman's Vegetarian Restaurant

Restaurant, Vegetarian, Vegan

This place is an all-you-can-eat vegan and vegetarian buffet with both warm stews, casseroles, a lovely offering of salads to start with and baked pies for dessert. It’s a little more expensive than a usual lunch, and dessert is not included in the buffet price. But the food is very good and the views from the cliffs above Slussen are unrivaled.

Hermitage

Restaurant, Vegetarian, Vegan, Healthy

The most important ingredient in this kitchen is love. The staff at Hermitage are renowned for being attentive and kind to guests, and they are prepared to accommodate your dietary requirements.

Matapoteket
