Any of the vegan galettes, and a glass of dry non alcoholic French apple cider
About
In the cosy center of Åre Village this Crêperie and hotell, located close to the mountains, is focusing on serving - as the name lets you know - two very classic dishes from Brittany, France; Galettes and Crêpes!
Galettes are a savoury type of pancake with hearty fillings, and crepes are a sweet version often served as a dessert. The actually galette is traditionally vegan as the batter is made of only buckwheat flour and water (however cheese, among other things, is a very common filling), and the crepes contains egg and might remind you more of a thin pancake.
At the Crêperie & Logi menu, throughout the country (Yes, you find this place in Visby, at the island of Gotland, and in Stockholm too) you find a couple of vegan fillings which are changing slightly with the season and are always equally yummy. Thin potato slices, sun-dried tomatoes, crispy kale, baked onion, vegan fraîche and lemon was served during my last visit. Together with a glass of dry non alcoholic French apple cider, from a drink list which contains quite a few great non alcoholic options which goes very well with the food served, this was like a kiss with France.

The place is called Fafelle and falafels served with hearty salads - with inspiration from all over the world - or in hearty wraps is their thing.

The five course tasing menu - changing with the seasons accompanied by the non alcoholic drink menu
About
Växthuset translates to “Greenhouse” and it describes this place very well. At trendy “Söder” in Stockholm, under the Skanstull bridge, this plant-based oasis is located. In this unique fine dining restaurant with withe tablecloths and art on the walls, in a house from the 19th century plant-based cooking is taken to new levels. With the mission to make nordic ingredients and cooking methods really delicious the kitchen is serving tasting menus with 3 or 5 all plant based servings.
The drink menu is filled with craft wines, ciders, äppelmust, sodas and lots more non alcoholic and cool beverages (many of them from nearby producers!).
During the summer time an outdoor summer club is surrounding Växthuset and the area under the bridge. The whole courtyard is then filled with bars, scenes, DJs, food and hang out spots. Each year several concerts, events and other happenings is taking place here - so make sure to come by! During wintertime the club is heading inside, only doors away from the restaurants. The two contrasting worlds nearby gives another dimension to this very special and delicious food experience.

The vegan soup of the day with sourdough bread and the daily spread
About
In the heart of the fruitful “Apple valley”, by the southern tip of Swedens second largest lake Vättern, you find Rudenstams surrounded by 40.000 apple trees. Here they produced so called “variety specific” äppelmuster which is something pretty unique. Äppelmust is a Swedish classic made of only apples - like an apple cider but without alcohol. Depending on apple variety, and the soil it grows from, the taste of the Äppelmust will differ. The complexity here is similar to the one mentioned when it comes to wines, and with the knowledge about picking the right Äppelmust for your dinner / fika / baking can create a food experience that is really something extra. Except for allt the craft Äppelmust they have lots of other beverages made from fruits and berries.
In the café they serve both fika and lunch daily; soups and a few other dishes that changes weekly plus savoury sandwiches and both savoury and sweet pies.
Connected to the café you find the Rudenstams Gårdsbutik (Rudenstams farmshop) with a great range of veggies, fruits, oils, bread, sweets, äppelmust and other beverages, flours and lots of small goods - many of them from producers nearby.
