Herman’s: Where to Go in Stockholm for a Very Special Plant-Based Meal
When we discovered Hermans, a plant-based restaurant in Stockholm, we discovered a place that will always be dear to our hearts.
You’d never know from the outside just how special it is.
Of all the cafes and restaurants we’ve visited in Stockholm, walking into Herman’s has felt like walking into a beloved family member’s home.
There’s even a cozy stairwell inside, with photos lining the wall.
Herman’s food presentation is impeccable. Herman’s people inviting and kind.
Even Herman’s dining room looks comforting. Like arriving at Grandma’s house for a holiday meal.
As we dished up spoonfuls of nearly every offering laid out on the table (because most of Herman’s food was also gluten-free), there was a line of guests behind us, inhaling Herman’s sweet and savory smells.
We could sit inside or out.
We could even sink into Herman’s grassy hillside and gaze at this Stockholm view.
Because it was so overwhelmingly hot outside during our visit, we chose the coolest place we could find to rest and restore.
A shaded north porch never felt so inviting. We immersed ourselves in the slow experience, the ambiance, and the company.
Then we left through the garden door.
TIPs:
Nearly every plant-based cafe and restaurant we’ve eaten at in Stockholm has been affordable. In fact, Stockholm prices have been more affordable than most prices we’ve seen in North America.
Herman’s is the only restaurant we’ve eaten at in Stockholm that was more expensive, so we know a visit to Herman’s is a special occasion to enjoy.
Herman’s feels like home, which makes it a perfect place to indulge in a plant-based Christmas feast.
During the rest of the year, Herman’s prices are based on day and time:
lunch buffet, weekdays (currently about $15.50 USD/adult, from 11 am-3 pm)
dinner buffet, weekdays (currently about $22 USD/adult, from 3 pm-9 pm)
weekend buffet (currently about $22 USD/adult, from 11 am-9 pm)
Valentine’s buffet (currently about $40 USD/adult, from 11 am-9 pm)
drinks and dessert (currently about $3 to $7.70 USD/item, from 11 am-9 pm; we drink free water)
If you hang out at Herman’s for hours, working online or lounging in the garden, you’re still only paying that one price to eat and linger, as it’s a buffet.
Herman’s plant-based food is so hearty and filling that it’s an excellent place to take meat-eaters.
Herman’s is well-visited, so at times it might be wise to plan ahead with reservations (like holidays).
