The best vegetarian restaurants in Stockholm

Star chef goes green

In 2016 Mathias Dahlgren closed his fine dining restaurant Matsalen in order to open Rutabaga, serving "world-class vegetarian dishes". Lacto-ovo-vegetarian food inspired by all the world's cuisines is on the menu, and you can enjoy a long, multi-course dinner here or just grab a quick meal.

Asian cuisine with vegan lunch

This restaurant, serving modern Asian dishes, is right next door to Story Hotel on Riddargatan. Culinary inspiration comes from the Sichuan province of China, Bali and Singapore and the bar creates innovative cocktails. The menu includes a large selection of vegetarian dishes, and lunches are completely vegan.

Modern vegetarian delight

Sally Voltaire & Systrar is synonymous with its chic retro-style pastel decor. This contemporary vegetarian concept combines deli, boutique and restaurant. The menu features predominantly vegetarian dishes and raw food, but does not only cater to herbivores.

Vegan and raw food

Palestinian

In the mood for Palestinian flavours? Then head down to Pita on Götgatan, a stone's throw from Skanstull. Rather than the falafels they serve at sister restaurant Falafelbaren, Pita serves Palestinian streetfood in the form of delicious stews and dips served in homebaked pita bread. The vegetarian selection is as extensive as the meat offerings and could include their Moussaka made from aubergines and chickpeas in a rich tomato sauce.
