Breakfast & Brunch Royalty
Mahalo
A healthy, hip place with two locations, open for breakfast and lunch only (this seems to be a theme amongst vegan places in Stockholm – do vegans not eat dinner around here??) This plant-based café has perfected the art of making vegan food look absolutely stunning. They offer all the hipster classics such as avo on toast and Instagram-worthy smoothie bowls in coconut shells that actually taste as incredible as they look. Everything is super fresh, the coffee is great, and the place is beautiful. And everything is vegan! 😍 The relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch or weekend vegan brunch, with organic ingredients taking center stage in every vegan dish.
Fern & Fika
A lovely, fully vegan Stockholm place that’s open for breakfast and lunch. Lots of raw vegan options and excellent coffee. The interior is beautiful and the food is here also Instagram-worthy (not that it should matter, but it’s pretty, what can I say). You’ll find a great selection of sandwiches and bowls (sweet and savoury) and things like smoothies and juices. The brunch plates are really great as you get to sample a few different things, letting you experience multiple vegan dishes in one sitting. Make sure you keep some room for the raw vegan cakes! Hot drinks pair perfectly with their chocolate croissant, all served in a beautiful dining room that feels like a greenhouse paradise.
À la Lo Café & Cantine
A small mother and daughter café serving pastries, coffee, and smoothies, all of it vegan. There’s also a selection of warm food for lunch and a weekend brunch all day Saturday and Sunday, featuring everything from American pancakes to sophisticated vegetarian dishes, all of it French-inspired and yummy. Lovely terrace at the front with great views of the city makes this the perfect place for a relaxed atmosphere meal. A nice little hidden gem! Their vegan cheese selections and organic teas create the ideal fika experience, which I highly recommend!
Kafé Plattan
Located in the heart of Kulturhuset, this casual daily vegan fika spot serves up Stockholm’s most accessible plant-based café experience. Their menu focuses on simple, delicious food that proves vegan options can be both satisfying and reasonably priced. The friendly staff creates a welcoming atmosphere perfect for a quick bite between exploring central Stockholm. This perfect spot for daily fika shows how vegan cafés can seamlessly integrate into Swedish culture.
Lunch Vegan Restaurant Options
BodyBuddy Café & Bakery
Organic, local, seasonal, vegan, and vegetarian food that is also low-waste and in large part gluten-free, BodyBuddy is your go-to place for immunity-boosting green juices, nutritious bowls, cold dishes, and salads + a hearty weekend brunch. There’s a nice courtyard for the warmer months, but for the rest, the interior is nice and cosy. Great selection of daily soup on the colder months makes this a perfect place year-round. Their menu showcases sweet potatoes and other wholesome organic ingredients, with lovely outdoor seating that transforms lunch into a mini-retreat.
Kale & Crave
Come eat some healthy and really, really, reeeeeaaalllyyy delicious kale. Well, they got me at kale. Small but tasty and healthy menu of mostly salads (it’s not all vegan but it’s gluten and lactose free). All fresh, organic, and clean. Likely the best salad in town! Their organic ingredients and creative combinations make vegetables the star, showcasing the quality of the food that’s made them one of Stockholm’s restaurant scene favorites. Consider this your first place to visit when craving big juicy salad bowls.
Holy Greens
Holy Greens is a small chain that serves fresh salads made of organic and local ingredients, a few of them vegan, and everything is customizable. It’s not the cosiest place, and lines can be a bit long around lunchtime (it’s only open for lunch also), but it’s a great alternative to fast food, and on the go (or to go), it’s a really great option. Healthy and quick. Their vegan dishes prove that quick doesn’t mean compromising on quality or taste, making this the perfect spot when you need healthy vegan food quick.
Cafe Pom & Flora
A cute vegetarian and vegan Stockholm cafe with three locations in the city, serving bowls, smoothies, and the usual suspect hipster toasts (avocado). The place is quite small and it can be difficult to get a seat, so do come early. It’s very cute and tasty and definitely worth a visit! Their food is the perfect balance between healthy and indulgent.
Ling Long
Ling Long’s vegan-friendly lunch & dinner menu showcases how Asian-inspired plant-based food can be both elegant and satisfying in one of Stockholm’s most upscale neighborhoods. Their vegan dishes prove that sophisticated dining and animal-free ingredients create perfect harmony, with generous portions that make this an excellent choice for both casual meals and special occasions. The laid-back atmosphere provides a welcome respite from the busy city centre
Dinner & Buffet Experiences
Lao Wai
One of the very few all-vegan Stockholm places that’s actually open for dinner, and one you should definitely not miss! Lao Wai is a little inconspicuous, with its simple cosy basement dining room, but you’ll make no mistake that something very excellent is brewing here as you enter and the smell of toasted sesame catches your nostrils. The portions are huge – I had the mapo tofu and it was enough for two meals. Make sure you book ahead as it’s very popular, and with good reason.
Rosetta’s
This vegan comfort food spot has quickly become part of the chain of Stockholm favorites, earning recognition for transforming classic comfort dishes into plant-based masterpieces. Their approach to vegan comfort food proves that familiar flavors can be recreated without animal products, often improving on the originals through creative use of meat alternatives and vegan cheese. The cozy dining room and reasonable price points make this an excellent choice for both special occasions and regular indulgences.
Hermans
Another one of the few fully vegan Stockholm options actually opened for dinner. Hermans offers, for around 25 euros, an all-you-can-eat, all-vegan buffet with beautiful views over the river. Everything is home-cooked, wholesome and delicious, and the ambience is great. A cozy place to fill your boots with delicious vegan soul food.
Växthuset
The Växthuset team is passionate about taking plant-based food to the next level. The food is seasonal and local, some of it is even foraged from Stockholm’s surroundings. They use Nordic preservation techniques such as pickling and fermenting, creating flavors you won’t find anywhere else in the restaurant scene. They also serve a selection of natural and biodynamic wines, craft beers, spirits, and a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages, all of which local. V fancy and lovely — book ahead.
Quick Bites & Casual Favorites
Bastard Burger
I stumbled on Bastard Burgers a little by accident because, as I said before, not so many vegan places in Stockholm are open for dinner. But what a pleasant surprise! Beware that they serve meat, but the vegan options are plenty, and they are all amazing. Most if not all of the vegan burgers use the Beyond patty, which is a winner for me from the get-go, and have great toppings like the truffle mayo and pickled onion combo. Add to that great fries to share and a bit of a boisterous atmosphere, and you’ve got yourself a cracking fast food date.
The Green Queen
Los Angeles vibes meet Stockholm charm at this plant-based haven where I demolished their pulled jackfruit burger in record time. The chipotle mayo and pickled red onion combo was absolutely divine, plus the sweet potato fries could feed three people (challenge accepted). Staff were lovely, atmosphere was chill, and my taste buds were very, very happy. California cool with Swedish quality – what more could you want? Oh there’s an amazing view as well!
Bagar’n Hornstull
A lovely bakery with a few vegan options. The semla bun is especially great. Take away only. Make it your pit stop in the morning before going out to explore the city! This charming bakery’s vegan semla bun has achieved legendary status among Stockholm locals, proving that sometimes the best vegan options come in the smallest packages.
Delivore
Delivore is a small vegan cafe located inside Good Store, a vegan grocery store also worth a visit to stock up on things to bring back home. There’s a small selection of vegan and allergen-free food to pick from that’s gluten and nut-free. Hot dish selections include sandwiches, wraps, lasagna, toasts, and more. The sweet selection includes muffins, cakes, chocolate with cream and marshmallow, and smoothies. A nice little cosy pit-stop!
Bar Kaja
This Mexican beer joint has earned recognition for serving some of Stockholm’s most incredible vegan empanadas. Live music and movie nights add entertainment value to the laid-back atmosphere, while their good choice of beverages makes this a great place for extended evening hangouts with friends.
Hop & Vine
This is such a unique place to gather with friends and have fun. Board games meet vegan-friendly dining at this cute venue where solid vegan options take center stage alongside craft beers and natural wines. The relaxed atmosphere encourages lingering over meals and games, creating the perfect spot for date nights, friend gatherings, or any occasion that calls for great food and interactive entertainment.
