Stockholm restaurants with a focus on sustainability

Green is good

With beautiful views over the entrance to Stockholm harbour, Djurgården and Skeppsholmen, the restaurant at the Museum of Photography serves a green, seasonal menu made from organic ingredients. Healthy and sustainable cooking are the watchwords and vegetables take centre stage. The kitchen's aim is to make respectful use of what nature provides.

Making sustainable simple

Urban Deli's concept is all about serving tasty food produced in a way that's beneficial for people, animals, the environment and the climate - and without any unnecessary resource wastage. Their shop/foodhall/restaurant combination makes it easy to consume in a climate-smart way as their produce can easily be rescued and re-used, rather than thrown away.

Organic homecooking

Music and food lovers alike come to the restaurant at this legendary cultural venue to eat Swedish classics with a modern twist. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner with a strong thread of sustainable thinking running through everything. All food is made from scratch using seasonal ingredients and they have organic certification from the two major Nordic organic associations - KRAV and Swan.

KRAV-certified burgers

Bar Brooklyn, in hip Hornstull, serves several different kinds of hamburger. You'll find vegetarian and vegan burgers on the menu, as well meat burgers made from Swedish KRAV-certified minced beef. The restaurant currently has one KRAV star, but is working on its second. One star means that 25 percent of ingredients fulfill KRAV's criteria. The house wine and beer are both organic.

Seasonal menu

Växthuset (which means "the greenhouse") neighbours the nightclubs Trädgården and Under Bron and is completely vegetarian. Choose from numerous delicious and creative dishes to share around the table. The food is seasonal and, appropriately enough, can be paired with craft wines and organic spirits. Their ambition is to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

KRAV certified in 2019

Star chef Frida Ronge is behind the Swedish/Japanese culinary concept at Tak ("roof") at the top of Hotel At Six. It includes a restaurant, bar, raw bar and terrace with 360 degree views. The aim is that the food should be as spectacular as the view and create a memorable experience for Stockholmers and international guests alike. In 2019 the restaurant became the first within the Nordic Choice chain to receive a one star KRAV certification.

Made from scratch

Lilla Grisen was named one of the Swedish restaurants with the least food waste in 2018. This neighbourhood restaurant on Kungsholmen serves traditional Swedish homecooking, made from scratch and at wallet-friendly prices. Personal and welcoming service is also extremely important to them.

Raw temptations

Fern & Fika in Hornstull serves healthy, plant-based food and coffee. A vegan healthfood café which plenty to offer anyone who fancies colourful cakes and pastries, creative salads, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls, brunch pancakes and much more.

Delicious salads

A popular concept with branches in several cities. They serve lactose-free organic gourmet salads for lunch and dinner, to eat in or take away. As well as filling your stomach with healthy, creative salads you can slake your thirst with nutritious juices.
