The guide to Malmö's best vegetarian restaurants

This vintage-inspired veggie joint in Värnhem opened its doors in 2015. The seasonal menu offers flavours from around the world, with an emphasis on Indian, Japanese and Korean cuisine - all plant-based, and with several gluten-free options. Combine with a glass of natural wine, a cocktail or a craft beer from the bar.

Pick and choose your own taste experience at Mutantur, whose food menu is constantly changing but always offers a variety of creative seasonal small dishes for omnivores and vegetarians. Open only Monday to Friday, with the weekends reserved for events and art breaks.

An Asian-vegetarian restaurant with an acclaimed lunch and weekend buffet that won't leave anyone hungry, as well as a substantial à la carte menu. The Asian influences are reflected in the flavours as well as in the ingredients and interior design. It offers "meat" dishes in various forms, the main component of which is a soy protein. Most are also vegan and gluten-free.

Far i hatten, in Malmö Folkets Park, attracts guests both during the summer and the colder months of the year. The menu has plenty of vegetarian, and even a couple of vegan, options. Dishes follow the seasons and ingredients come from local producers and farmers.

Syrian cuisine consists of a lot of plant-based dishes such as tasty stir-fries, herb salads, foul, stuffed vegetables and the topped flatbread, manakish. At Malmö's very first Syrian restaurant, vegetarians and vegans as well as omnivores can feast on both small and large dishes with authentic flavours from the Middle East.

Walking through the door of this cosy little food bar is an experience in itself, with delicious aromas wafting from the open kitchen. Their passion for good food is evident in everything from the service to the simple list of the day's ingredients that make up the evening's tasting menus, which can be chosen vegetarian, pescatarian or mixed. A vegan menu can be pre-ordered.

The prettiest neighbour in the area serves both breakfast and weekend brunch in her homely living room. Vegan-friendly treats such as croissants, scrambled tofu, pizza, pasta salads and other goodies are the order of the day here. You can also drop by for a nutritious smoothie and juicy banana bread.

The food waste produced by Malmö restaurants is transformed into fabulous lunches thanks to the crew at SPILL, who have experience of working at fine dining restaurants. They serve a dish of the day for both meat eaters and vegetarians every weekday. They only decide which dishes they're going to cook in the morning, based on which ingredients need to be saved that day.

Enjoy a well-composed vegetarian lunch served in an old engine shed in Frihamnen. The entire menu is vegetarian and full of rustic flavours from Italy. They serve luxury brunches at the weekend, and occasionally special evening menus also appear in the calendar.

This small restaurant on Davidshallstorg takes its inspiration from "here and there in Southeast Asia". The ingredients come purely from the plant kingdom and are combined with exciting wines for a small but tantalisingly tasty menu.

A not-very-well-kept secret is that the vegetarian option at Malmö's beloved Saltimporten Canteen is always at least as good as - if not slightly better than - the non-veg. Treat yourself to the first fresh spring vegetables of the season and sunshine on a good day. The vegetarian option changes weekly.

Malmö's oldest Chinese restaurant is also one of Malmö's finest - not least for those who prefer to eat plant-based. Stir-fried, deep-fried, fried and steamed good food served by friendly and knowledgeable staff in a pleasant atmosphere.

Pick and choose from a selection of East Asian small dishes in cszy surroundings at Dubbel Dubbel, or let the set menus introduce you to the dumplings, baos and other goodies. All menus are available vegetarian and vegan. Preferably accompanied by their tasty cocktails, a couple of which are non-alcoholic.

Everything is vegetarian and the majority of the ingredients are organic at Balthazar. There's a tasting menu for those who want to sample all the dishes, otherwise you can pick and choose from the à la carte.

Lots of Indian restaurants in Malmö have a solid selection of vegetarian dishes, but Delhi on Södra Förstadsgatan also boasts a top-notch vegan selection. Their hearty curries and accompaniments can be enjoyed by almost everyone. Round off with a glass of chai or something sweet.

The Vegan Bar is a seemingly completely ordinary Möllan restaurant with a simple range of drinks and a food menu full of burger-type grub. But a closer look at the burger menu reveals why this is Möllan's most vegan-friendly pub - all the burgers are actually vegan. Homemade whiskey-marinated soy burgers, chickpea burgers and mushroom burgers are accompanied by innovative toppings and sides.

Two Forks is run by Matan and Charlotte, who, with a passion for sustainability, grow their own ingredients and use these to prepare delicious vegan food from scratch. The menu is based on plant-based produce, with cheese, eggs and meat as optional add-ons. At lunchtime, creamy hummus bowls are the order of the day, while in the evenings they serve small dishes from the Middle East.

Farm2Table serves up good food from the plant kingdom for breakfast, brunch, lunch and coffee. The menu is based around seasonal produce, but always lists a couple of nutritious main courses, grilled sandwiches and brunch dishes such as bowls and pancakes. If your tummy's extra rumbly, you can combine your meal with a fruity smoothie.

It's not exactly news that you can find some great falafel in Malmö, but since Värnhem's Falafel is particularly popular in vegan circles, we think they deserve a place in this guide. In this little falafel joint just before the exit to the highway, crispy, freshly-fried chickpea balls are served in home-baked bread with a variety of side dishes such as vegetables, mango-curry sauce, halloumi and feta cheese. Easy on your wallet too!
