A really good, cheap place to eat in Stockholm is Cafe Eken, on the corner of Pontonjärgatan and Sankt Eriksgatan, in Kungsholmen.
They didn't have any vegetarian items on the menu, so they made us vegetarian omelettes (which were lovely), which came with crispbread, juice and salad bar. The owner was very friendly, and it has a nice atmosphere.

If you stay in Stockholm for long it's worth getting a Stockholm Museums' Friends membership. Free enry to most museums for 1 year, costs 400 SEK, sold in the Ost-Asiatisca Museum.
If nothing else you can always go to the museums to relax and use their bathroom.
