Veggie life in Sweden

[Guest guest]

Just came back from Stockholm - and proved all my friends' warnings " full of

seafood, nothing for vegetarians to eat " wrong! Thanks for us vegetarian

tourists' demands (presumably Americans & British), you go to any restaurants,

cafes, shops and find beautiful veggie dishes and fresh salads. We often talk

about the prices in Scandinavian countries, but I found them generally cheaper

in Stockholm than in London, where I live. People are cheerful and prepared to

speak English any time. I was really impressed.

 

My favourite traditional Swedish restaurant was called " Von der Lindeska

Valven " , Västerlånggatan 68, Gamla Stan, Stockholm (TEL: 08-411-55-38), who has

a lovely vegetarian set menu for about £6 (US$10), you can choose your seat

either inside with romantic candles or cool & refreshing outside table. If

anyone goes to Stockholm, worth a try. And there were plenty of other

Scandinavian, Italian, Chinese restaurants etc, who all serve lovely dishes for

us. There's no tipping system in that country (prices include the service

charges).

 

The only thing that disappointed me was the meals on the aeroplane - SAS

(Scandinavian Air Services) - somehow veggie meals were quite plain and ordinary

(well, it was like 2 portions of side salads). But again I was impressed by the

efficiency of their customer service. I love Scandinavia now, just wanted to

tell everyone that.

I'm packed and ready to go. Bob (DH) went to meetings in Stockholm about 12

years ago now... and he was NOT NOT NOT impressed with the food. The other thing

that probably influenced the change was the immigration policy. So nice to know

we'd find more restaurants today and more choices.
