About
In the small seaside village of Mölle, on the Swedish west coast, this small Neapolitan pizza place which also serves as lunch spot and ceramic shop is located close to the sea. In the middle of the village, in what looks like a magical courtyard surrounded by trees, string lights and grapes growing in the ceiling of the sun parlour you can enjoy delicious pizzas, drinks and small sides.
The lunch is served all day long - which means you can eat from the á la carte menu both during lunch hours and the evening.

The grilled sourdough sandwiches and the plant-based Chocolate cake with a hint of coffee! Also, the locally brewed Kombucha is a must-try! Don’t miss out on buying one of their Fruit and nut bread to take home with you - it’s delicious (and as a fun fact my grandmothers favourite bread in the whole world!)!

The menu changes weekly and with the season - I had a vegan take on the vegetarian option from the lunch menu: Potato mash with fried mushrooms, black kale and pear - and some sourdough bread of course!

Using both classic and new cooking metods they cook creative and delicious food with a taste of the season and surrounding areas. Sit down in a peaceful country side setting, inside in the welcoming dining room or outside under the oak trees and the open landscape right by.

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 hearty sourdough sandwich with seasonal cold cuts. And any of the classic Swedish buns!
About
At Gotland, the beautiful island (and Swedens biggest island) outside Swedens east coast, Själsö bageri (Själsö bakery) is located close to the ocean - not to far from Visby. Come here for sourdough bread baked in their wood fired stone ovens.
Other then delicious sourdough bread they offer breakfast plates, hearty sandwiches, sweet bread / fika and locally produced drinks / saft and ice cream this is a popular gem for both locals and tourists.
Also have a look after their bread truck selling freshly baked bread at different locations in the area. During off season this your only way to taste their bread, rolls and buns and you’ll find the truck at Österport (one of the gates to Visby City Wall) a few days per week.

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.

The five course menu changes with the season - and everything is equally delicious!
About
At the organic farm Jannelund outside of Örebro the farmer Adam and his friend - the chef Anders - made their dream about a restaurant right by the fields come true.

About
Authentic Tapas place at a lively street in the trendy quarters called Majorna in West Gothenburg, which brings you back to any Spanish tapas restaurant you might have been to. The menu changes weekly, with a few returning classics. A bunch of the dishes on the menu are plant-based, and you can often get a few more of them plant-based if you ask nicely.
A recommendation is to take in 3 tapas per person, and share as you’ll get to taste more delicious food that way - and because the food is served tapas style; placed at your table now and then throughout your visit.
As mentioned the menu is changing but can include dishes such as Roasted artichokes with smoked apple and toasted buckwheat, Baked beets with cress and leek ash, Green gazpacho, Grilled padrones and sourdough bread with Spanish olive oil.

When in Malmö eating falafel is a must. During a visit in the city we had several falafel rolls - and this turned out to be our favourite! Perfectly crispy and flavourful falafels, fresh vegetables and fun elements such as pomegranate seeds, mint and vegan sesame sauce together with the extra hummus in the freshly home baked bread was really something extra.

Menu changes with the season - however everything I’ve ever eaten here has been delicious!
About
Plant-based food with a finesse! Ingenious and beautifully presented food with lots of flavours and textures. At Mineral in Malmö it’s all about quite simple cooking without any fuss - but with great seasonal vegetables, lots of knowledge, fun elements (such as pickled bitter cress or salt cured carrot) and Mineral favourites you are really served something extra at every plate. This is what plant-based cooking is all about!
Preferably pick a few of the dishes, and maybe a few snacks, from the menu and share - that way you get to taste as much as possible from the quite small and along-the-seasons-changing menu.
The drink menu contains both a few non alcoholic options such as Äppelmust and, and lots of natural wines and craft beers.
