Stockholm — home of fika and the plant-based meatball 🇸🇪 The Swedish capital has a growing vegan scene with everything from incredible buffets with views to cosy Swedish fika spots. Sweden has one of the strongest plant-based cultures in Europe, and Stockholm reflects that with a scene that is constantly evolving and consistently high in quality.
From the iconic hilltop buffet at Herman’s to the natural wine bar at Chewie’s, Stockholm’s vegan scene spans a wide range of styles and price points. Here’s my guide to the best.
Best Vegan Restaurants in Stockholm
1. Herman’s — Incredible Plant-Based Buffet with a View
Herman’s on Fjällgatan is one of the most beloved vegan restaurants in all of Scandinavia — a plant-based buffet restaurant perched on a hilltop in Södermalm with one of the most spectacular views over Stockholm’s Old Town and Lake Mälaren. The buffet changes daily with a rotating selection of beautifully prepared plant-based dishes, and the terrace in summer is absolutely magical. Open Monday to Sunday for both lunch and dinner, Herman’s is a non-negotiable Stockholm experience.
