Easily Stockholm's finest lunch, in the most beautiful setting. Take the ferry from Slussen (return ticket costs about a tenner, leaves on the hour, trip takes 25 minutes) to Fjäderholmarna Island and go to the first restaurant on the left. It will appear incredibly busy but ask for a quiet table round the back, and if you're lucky you will have a whole sun terrace to yourself. Order smoked prawns to start and herring with mash and lingonberries for your main. Thank me later.

Stockholm has lots of veggie restaurants but this is the best. Great location on the river, loads of seats, huge buffet with lots of choice and which changes so if you visit more than once you'll get different dishes. Great for sitting over a huge plate of plate of food looking at the views of the city - really chilled.

The owner blocked completion of the luxury suites but all other amenities are there - terrace, restaurant, two bars. Great spot to relax, enjoy great food, great cocktails and then dance into the evening downstairs.

Hermans Tradgard, is a vegetarian buffet restaurant up on the heights of the south island of Stockholm; Sodermalm. It offers great value - all homecooked veg food, wonderful views over the water across to Djurgarden & the city from its big outdoor garden seating area. Don't be put off by it being only vegetarian - I have been there with people who love their meat but was positively surprised how much they enjoyed vegetarian food. There's usually 4 hot dishes and 8-10 salads plus homemade breads etc. Don't forget to incl a lush cake in your meal deal!
