Maxos
Falafel, hummus, and other tasty vegetarian delights at Maxos
Juicy and fresh homemade falafel that makes your taste buds dance. Creamy hummus that waters your mouth. That’s just two highlights of the family-owned falafel bar Maxos in Kungsholmen. Located near the City Hall, it has been a key player in Stockholm’s falafel scene for many years. The inspiration comes from the thousand-year-old city of Akka with its proud food traditions – the gastronomic heart of Palestine, according to the restaurant’s owners.
In addition to falafel and hummus, the menu includes tasty vegetarian (and vegan) delicacies such as halloumi, tabouli, sweet potatoes, fried cauliflower, and a wide range of delicious mixes. And if someone in the group isn’t vegetarian, there is also lamb, chicken, and merguez. All are made from scratch using fresh ingredients. Wash down the food with their homemade juices, and remember to finish your meal with a good cup of Palestinian coffee. The place is small and cozy with a relaxed atmosphere, and the queue is often long at this popular falafel place, especially around lunchtime. If you don’t want to eat on-site, you can order takeaway. Maxos also offers catering in the form of a buffet.
Oummi
A delicious tasting menu full of green delights. Or first-class main courses and meza? Sound like your cup of tea? Then you should visit the luxurious Lebanese restaurant Oummi in Old Town (Gamla stan). Here, you’ll get the ultimate Lebanese experience with fantastic food, a great atmosphere, and impeccable service in the middle of Stockholm.
The menu at Oummi offers Lebanese food with a modern touch. The vegetarian tasting menu includes treats like sweet halloumi, fatte, moussaka batinjan, fatayer, and cheese rolls. There are also several green main dishes that you can complement with the restaurant’s famous fries and sauces. And don’t miss the bar’s masterful cocktails—real works of art.
Sit down and enjoy a magical world of beautiful textiles, velvet sofas, brass lanterns, and atmospheric lighting. It’s no wonder that connoisseurs, foodies, and anyone who likes good green dishes love Oummi.
Chutney
This is one of Stockholm’s oldest vegetarian restaurants and opened way back in 1987. With inspirations from the Middle East and Asia, the exotic interior reflects the menu, loaded with dishes from India, Thailand, and Persia. Both vegetarian and vegan options are available, and in the summer months, the outdoor seating is a true oasis.

Hermans
Växthuset
If you’re hungry for top-class plant-based food and are near Skanstull in Södermalm, you should head to Växthuset. The restaurant creates its food with a focus on quality and seasonal ingredients – therefore, the menu is constantly changing. But no matter what is served for the day, the goal is to give you the best possible taste experience and be as friendly to nature as possible.
The drinks are also handcrafted, and Växthuset offers primarily biodynamic wine and non-alcoholic alternatives. If you want to combine the dining experience with an inspiring activity, you can try the restaurant’s inspiring workshop. You get to learn how to build a self-sufficient ecosystem while enjoying good food and drink.
Lao Wai
Farang
All food is handcrafted from quality ingredients, and you can expect a wide range of exciting flavors from the Southeast Asian food culture. The restaurant’s spacious and historical premises are also something out of the ordinary. Here was once the Stockholm Electric Company, and you can still feel the industrial atmosphere in the dining room with room for 175 guests. Adjacent to the dining room is also a cocktail bar and drink lounge. So don’t forget to have a glass of champagne or a drink before you hit the streets and continue your Stockholm evening!
