The best take-away restaurants Stockholm

With a restaurant, a bar and a store at the same time, Meatballs for the People puts, as its name indicates, the traditional Swedish meatball to the honor. Thus, it is the ideal place to introduce yourself to the national dish. If you are in an adventurous mood, you can choose from 11 different types of meat (and a vegan version), ranging from classic beef, pork, veal or lamb to more original ones such as reindeer, deer, elk, wild boar and even... bear meat! To be enjoyed on site or to take away.

Rosendals Trädgård is one of Stockholm's gems! The garden café is located in a bucolic setting on the island of Djurgården and offers salads, soups, sandwiches and pastries made in the nearby bakery. The café uses organic and biodynamic ingredients, many of them even from the vegetable garden. Many Stockholmers visit Rosendal in good weather to picnic or lounge on the grass in the orchard. Be sure to stop by the little store before you leave.

If you want to eat cheaply but differently from the classic budget restaurants, stop by Kornhamnstorg to try a local classic. A white wagon with a yellow fish-shaped sign, formerly located in Södermalm, sells fried herring in all kinds of sauces: rolled in bread with a salad with fresh cream and leeks (for 100 SEK), as a burger (75 SEK) or "à la scanienne" (60 SEK): herring fillets with a mustard sauce, red onion and dill. Exotic and delicious!

One of the most famous burgers in town, just steps away from Stureplan! The meat is cooked to your liking, the nachos are covered with quality melted cheese and the fries are crispy as can be! You can choose from a wide range of flavors, accompanied by a beer or a cocktail. Enough to make the Americans blush! For vegetarians, the meat on all burgers can be replaced by halloumi cheese. Good to know: if you come for lunch during the week, they offer you coffee or tea at the end of the meal!

This small restaurant surfs on the street-food fashion, by declining dishes around poultry, hence the name, Bird. From the duck confit burger, to the buttermilk fried chicken, or the peanut wings, your taste buds and your pupils will be comforted. Young team, very pleasant and dynamic atmosphere, the products are fresh and produced on a small scale in a farm near Trollhättan. Tasty food and reasonable prices. Cocktail and beer menu. Very busy establishment.

Teatern in Ringen Centrum, near Skanstull, combines fine dining with popular restaurants. Some of Sweden's top restaurateurs such as Magnus Nilsson, Adam Dahlberg and Albin Wessman, Stefano Catenacci and Nobel pastry chef Daniel Roos share the space and the 250 seats. At Teatern, you can enjoy world-class sausages, vegan burgers, and food from around the world. Unpretentious, the place allows foodies to eat on the go at a reasonable price.

Max is a Swedish fast food chain that is synonymous with comfort and guilty pleasure for many Swedes! Founded in 1968, Max's empire now extends across the country and beyond. As with any fast food restaurant, it doesn't offer sophisticated dining, but the late closing time makes it a great option for clubbing cravings. Worth testing: the vegan options at this fast food restaurant that tries to reduce meat consumption. The latest innovation is an all-vegan steak that tastes and feels like beef!

There's no denying it, coffee is Sweden's most popular drink. And yet, there's something special about this café... like a hint of Italy! The place is divided between the sale of coffee that you won't find anywhere else, coffee makers and a few high tables where you can enjoy a real coffee, prepared as the Italians know how. We come here to relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. With a very friendly barista, and above all very reasonable prices, you can't help but stop in!

If you've never tried porridge before, now's the perfect time to give it a try. This café offers a wide variety, with many vegan and gluten-free options. Whether you want to start the day with a good, vitamin-packed breakfast or recharge your batteries at the end of the day, this is the perfect place to take a gourmet break. At lunchtime, you'll also find tartines, soups, stews and succulent desserts on the menu. Something for everyone!

Aloha! Hawaii Poke offers an interesting alternative to traditional fast food chains. Tired of the usual hamburgers or sandwiches, you will find in this small restaurant poke (poh-kay) which are seasoned raw fish dishes usually found in Hawaii. Lovers of Japanese cuisine will not be disoriented and followers of the Paleolithic diet will be delighted! Very trendy in California, New York and London, this restaurant is becoming a must in Stockholm.
