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.

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!

The food at Légumes takes its inspiration from the Mediterranean, with a comprehensive and affordable buffet that serves up, among other things, hot soup, moussaka, and vegetarian lasagne. This restaurant in Södermalm also offers great veggie sandwiches, and there are several vegan options as well. Beer and wine are also served. While you can grab a table, we suggest you take your food to go and grab a spot at Skinnarviksberget, where you’ll find one of Stockholm’s best views.
