Hermans Trädgårdscafé

Top choice


This justifiably popular vegetarian buffet is one of the nicest places to dine in Stockholm, with a glassed-in porch and outdoor seating on a terrace overlooking the city's glittering skyline. Fill up on inventive, flavourful veggie and vegan creations served from a cosy, vaulted room – you might need to muscle your way in, but it's worth the effort.

The desserts (sold separately) are mostly vegan, gluten-free, or both, and they look amazing, though it's a challenge to save room. If you have a valid student ID, you may be able to get a two-for-one deal on the buffet. Worth asking!
