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.

1. 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.

2. Green Queen

Restaurant, Vegetarian, 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.

3. 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!

5. Sally Voltaire & Systrar

Bistro, Cafe, Vegetarian, Vegan, Swedish

Raw salads, hearty soups, a variety of sandwiches and vegetable stews, with a bright and color-rich decor, this bistro serves food all day into the evening. The owners, who are sisters, picked a great central spot, right inside the large department store Åhlens City.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Matapoteket

Restaurant, Vegan

This is the home of 100% raw-food interpretations of the traditional Swedish food “Husmankost”. Matapoteket also serves raw-food tapas between 5pm–7pm. The food isn’t the only factor; decor, atmosphere and the neighbourhood all add to its charm. Vegan or not, one should definitely get acquainted with the raw-food culinary world through Matapoteket.

9. Etablissement

Restaurant, Swedish, French, Vegetarian

Nestled within Stockholm’s foremost international venue for music, theatre and debate, Södra Teatern, you will find Etablissement restaurant. This stylish restaurant is a great lunch and dinner spot. A fun menu with tapas-style dishes as well as entrees means there is likely something for every appetite and taste. An insider tip is to head there early on a Sunday morning, in time for Etablissemanget’s spectacular ‘Jazz Brunch’ featuring a high-quality buffet and the best of local musical talent.

10. Pom & Flora

Cafe, Market, Northern European, European, Swedish

Also popular among bloggers, this cafe serves an extremely popular weekend brunch where you can get three kinds of breads, scones, cheese, hams, eggs, marmalades, Greek yoghurt, nuts, fruits and freshly pressed juices – all for a fair price. With an attention to quality and detail, friendly staff and a spectacular reputation, Pom & Flora has found the recipe of success in an ever-expanding market.
