10 vegetarian and vegan restaurants to try in Stockholm
Choose a buffet with a view, a pizza dinner, a South Indian meal or a café catch-up. Start with the menu classification, then match the setting to your plans.
Hermans
Hermans combines a fully vegan buffet with a setting above Stockholm’s waterfront. Its cooking draws on several cuisines, giving diners a varied spread from which to build their own meal. The outlook from Fjällgatan adds another reason to visit, especially when you want lunch or dinner to include a sense of the city.
Consider it for visiting guests or friends with different tastes who are happy to share a plant-based meal. The buffet allows everyone to choose differently, with the same vegan approach throughout the food offering. It is a useful introduction to this style of dining, with time at the table forming part of the appeal.
Enter/Exit — Bacchi Syre
Enter/Exit serves plant-based comfort food at Bacchi Syre, the cultural meeting place near Järntorget. Its fully vegan offering spans substantial lunches, burgers and desserts, giving diners the option of a familiar restaurant meal in Gamla Stan. The cooking centres on individual orders, with enough variety to suit different preferences around the table.
The wider building brings together food, events and creative spaces, adding character to a visit. Choose Enter/Exit for a casual lunch or dinner with friends when you want vegan food in an informal setting. Check the restaurant’s own information when making plans, as Bacchi Syre houses several food businesses with their own arrangements.
Mahalo — Vasastan
Mahalo’s Vasastan café makes vegan food the starting point for a daytime visit. Its colourful Odengatan setting pairs a fully plant-based menu with the flexibility of café dining. Substantial bowls, savoury food and baked treats provide different ways to turn breakfast, brunch or lunch into time spent together around the table.
It works well for friends who want to order according to their own appetite, from a lighter stop to a complete meal. Stay for coffee afterwards or choose takeaway when you have other plans. This entry covers Odengatan; Mahalo also has separate cafés on Södermalm and Kungsholmen, each with its own location information.
La Piccola Nonna
La Piccola Nonna centres its Blekingegatan pizzeria on Neapolitan-style pizza with vegetarian and vegan preparations. The founders’ shared interest in pizza grew from a mobile business into this Södermalm restaurant. That specialist focus gives diners a range of meat-free choices while keeping the pleasure of a pizza meal at the centre of the visit.
Choose it for an informal dinner for two or takeaway when you want to eat elsewhere. Tables operate on a walk-in basis, so allow flexibility around your plans. Specify a vegan preparation when ordering: the standard vegetarian versions can contain dairy or honey, and the complete pizza should match your preference.
Saravanaa Bhavan — Sankt Eriksplan
Saravanaa Bhavan brings South Indian vegetarian cooking to Sankt Eriksgatan. Rice-and-lentil preparations are central to its identity, alongside a wider Indian menu that gives diners plenty to explore. The Stockholm restaurant belongs to an international vegetarian chain, making it a useful option when you want a meal grounded in this particular cooking tradition.
Consider it for a casual lunch or dinner with friends who want to explore beyond familiar café and buffet choices. The restaurant offers vegan dishes, while dairy remains part of the wider menu. Ask for the complete vegan preparation, including sauces and accompaniments, and confirm that ghee, yoghurt or cream is excluded.
Green Hermitage
Green Hermitage offers home-style vegetarian cooking in a family-owned restaurant on Stora Nygatan. Its self-service buffet brings several preparations together, letting you build a varied meal and return for more. The kitchen prepares food without meat, fish or eggs, while dairy remains part of the wider vegetarian offering. Vegan choices are available within the selection.
The Gamla Stan address makes it convenient for lunch between sightseeing plans or an uncomplicated dinner with friends. Choose it when you would like a relaxed sit-down meal with room to try different flavours. Ask the team to identify the vegan preparations before filling your plate.
Chewie’s Bar
Chewie’s Bar combines natural wine with a fully plant-based food offering on Norr Mälarstrand. The menu takes inspiration from Scandinavian open sandwiches and other dishes that can be ordered individually or shared. Wine, Swedish craft beer and non-alcoholic drinks give the food several possible companions, with the bar setting shaping the evening.
It suits a relaxed date or an after-work catch-up when you want a few plates and time to talk. Order at the bar and let the meal develop around your table’s appetite. The informal approach gives you room for a light meal or a longer evening together with friends.
Falafelbaren
Falafelbaren makes Middle Eastern vegetarian food the focus of its Hornsgatan kitchen. Freshly fried falafel and hummus anchor a choice of bread-based meals, salads and plates, with pickles and sauces adding variety. Some preparations include dairy cheese or eggs, while several combinations use plant-based ingredients throughout. That gives vegan diners useful choices within the broader vegetarian menu.
Its location near Mariatorget suits a quick lunch, an informal catch-up or takeaway between other plans on Södermalm. Choose a wrap for a compact meal or a plate when you want more room for accompaniments. Confirm the complete vegan order, including sauces and any additions.
Falloumi
Falloumi brings a colourful, informal setting to vegetarian street food near Skanstull. Middle Eastern flavours run through its wraps and bowls, with falafel, vegetables, dips and pickles providing the foundation. Cheese features in part of the menu, and clearly identified vegan choices offer another direction. The format makes it easy to put together a substantial meal without ordering several courses.
Consider it for an everyday lunch or a casual dinner at the southern end of Södermalm. You can sit down with a friend or take your food away. For a vegan meal, choose the labelled options and check any extra sauces or toppings before ordering.
Fern & Fika
Fern & Fika brings a fully plant-based café menu to Långholmsgatan in Hornstull. Warm meals, salads, sandwiches and sweet treats give you several ways to shape a visit, from a light bite to a more substantial lunch. Coffee and fika are part of the same offering, making it easy to stay after the plates have been cleared.
Choose it for a daytime catch-up, a relaxed brunch or a solo meal with a book. The café presents itself as a place for both company and unhurried time alone. Its location also makes it a useful stop while exploring the western end of Södermalm.
Good to know about vegetarian and vegan dining in Stockholm
Read the menu classification. A fully vegan food offering gives you choices made without animal-derived ingredients. A vegetarian restaurant may use dairy and eggs alongside vegan dishes. At those venues, ask about the complete preparation, including sauces and accompaniments, and specify a vegan version when the restaurant offers both.
Match the format to the occasion. A café lunch, a buffet and an evening at a wine bar provide different experiences. Mahalo and Fern & Fika suit daytime plans, Hermans gives a buffet meal a waterfront setting, and Chewie’s Bar brings food and wine together. Choose according to the meal you want and the time you have.
Narrow your Södermalm search. Hermans is on Fjällgatan, Falafelbaren is near Mariatorget and Fern & Fika is in Hornstull. These are different parts of the district, so use the address to fit a meal around your other plans. A useful choice for lunch near one stop may require a separate journey from another.
Compare the whole meal. A simple café order, a buffet visit and several dishes with wine can lead to different totals. Price symbols are editorial estimates for food, excluding drinks: $ budget, $$ moderate, $$$ upper mid-range and $$$$ splurge. Compare the amount of food you want and any additions when choosing your restaurant.
