Stockholm’s best vegetarian restaurants

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.

Nearly every vegetarian in the city has, at some point, paid a visit to Hermans – and not just because of the stellar buffet – there’s also the unbeatable view of Djurgården from the terrace of this completely plant-based (no animal products are used) restaurant. But what about that buffet? It’s all you can eat, with both hot and cold dishes that are not your normal Swedish fare. Also, there are salads and homemade bread, along with organic beer, organic soda, kombucha, and freshly-made smoothies. The vegan and raw food desserts also deserve mention, and the outdoor grill during summer is not to be missed.

Stockholm’s most luxurious and perhaps most popular vegetarian restaurant, Rutabaga, can be found at the five-star Grand Hôtel. There, the well-known chef Mathias Dahlgren has built up his vision of the food of the future and the next generation of lacto-ovo-vegetarian cuisine. With inspiration from all over the world, fresh ingredients of the highest quality, preferably according to the season, are transformed into exciting world-class vegetarian dishes (and the menu can also be made 100% vegan). You either enjoy the dishes on your own or share them with your company. Rutabaga’s atmosphere is as pleasant as the food is delicious. Here, you can relax with your partner, friends, or family in a warm, lively, and welcoming environment. In short, a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience that takes green food to new heights.

This cozy little outpost tucked away on an unassuming Stockholm side street serves up vegan Chinese homestyle cuisine. The restaurant is small, but the flavors are big. And only the freshest of ingredients are used, so the lunch menu is usually limited to one option, while there is more variety in the evening. Reservations are highly recommended (by phone only).

At luxurious Farang in Vasastan, you can enjoy a fantastic, carefully composed vegetarian tasting menu with Asian flavors (and if someone in the party wants to go outside the green kitchen, there is also a tasting menu with meat and fish). The dishes arrive at the table one by one, and this culinary journey begins with snacks, continues with cold fresh dishes, hot dishes, and finally dessert. Shiso leaves with tempeh, Vietnamese mint salad, and Choi sum wok are just a few examples of the green delicacies you’ll enjoy. There’s also an à la carte menu if you prefer to pick the dishes yourself.

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!

No gluten, no dairy, no sugar… Fern & Fika takes clean eating seriously but does so with a lightheartedness that is very welcome. They have reinvented ‘fika‘ and focus on wholesome, vegan, and naturally gluten-free food without white sugar. The organic vegan menu at the café offers a high-quality plant-based experience with a menu full of goodies no matter if you’re in the mood for breakfast, brunch, or a meal. And don’t miss the large selection of vegan pastries. Good for your body, the animals, and the planet – what more could you ask for?

Located in the heart of Old Town (Gamla Stan), Hermitage doesn’t waste much time with the décor – instead, all the effort goes into the food that fills the excellent buffet, as well as the regular menu. Highlights include the rice balls and the lentil soup, and nearly everything is vegan, although there are a few vegetarian options that use dairy.

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. Great veggie sandwiches are also on offer, 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.
