Guide to Stockholm's best street food

New kebab flavours

Get ready for a totally new kind of kebab! At Le Kebab the emphasis is on high-quality, organic ingredients with plenty of plant-based options and innovative, unexpected flavour combinations. This is not a classic kebab joint, so prepare your tastebuds for something new.

Authentic Mexican

La Neta's aim is to serve genuine Mexican food, a world away from the pre-fab Tex-Mex the average Swede slings together on 'Taco Fridays'. This is the place to come for uncomplicated Mexican street food in an authentic taquería environment. You'll find Latin American classics such as tortillas, tacos and quesedillas with fillings such as slow-cooked beef chuck, beans, cheese and quacamole. 

Vegetarian by actor duo

The concept is simple; vegan and vegetarian food with halloumi and falafel taking centre stage. Choose between wraps or salads with delicious sides and dippers. Actors Mahmut Suvakci and Joel Kinnaman, who also run the hamburger joint Lily's Burger, are the owners. Drop by and eat in the dining room, the outdoor dining area or buy something to take away.

Crispy Vietnamese

They're not afraid of flavour at Cong - just like in Vietnam. Choose from sandwiches, spring rolls, fresh salads, shellfish and tofu dishes. Perfect for sharing around the tables so everyone can enjoy the range of flavours and textures Vietnamese cuisine provides: acidic, spicy, sweet and crispy. Combine with a Singaporean Tiger beer and you'll be transported far from Stockholm - sensorially, at least.

Posh kebabs

Kebabs are hotter and fresher than ever. Çok serves ambitious döner kebabs according to a "fine fast food" philosophy, a combination of fine dining and fast food. Owner Mahmut Sucakci is an actor, known for his roles in the Snabba Cash (Easy Money) films, and he also runs Lily's Burger with fellow actor Joel Kinnaman.

Experience Bangladesh

Leave Stockholm for a while and discover the food culture of Bangladesh, via the vibrant food markets of Brick Lane. Gossip serves up a unique culinary experience of Bengali flavours with an emphasis on fish, lamb and vegetarian. Come for a simple meal, takeaway or to sit, eat and drink for hours. 

For kebab lovers

Meat on a Stick specialises in kebabs, but it's far from your average dodgy kebab joint. The emphasis here is on homemade kebabs made from top quality fresh ingredients served in freshly-baked pita bread. The menu includes classic kebabs and more innovative combinations, such as goat cheese cream and mango salsa.

Sliders and tacos

You could describe Lådan as a food truck without wheels, or as the little sister restaurant to Flippin' Burgers. They serve street food-inspired dishes with the same emphasis on top-notch ingredients and sustainability, with a constantly-changing menu that often includes themes and guest appearances from various corners of the world. Come for tacos and sliders with a twist and an urban bar scene. 

Fried chicken galore

If you're a fan of fried chicken head straight for Bird, where chicken in all forms takes centre stage. Culinary inspiration comes from Asian and American street food, with dishes including bang bang pancakes, buttermilk fried chicken and Szechuan wings.

Hot buns

Point out and select what you want - that's how it works at Barobao, a pared-down, simplified concept where the emphasis is on steamed bao. There are various different fillings for the buns to choose between, whether you're a vegetarian or meat eater. Whichever, they can all be eaten in your fingers, sitting down or on the run, just like street food.

Swedish smørrebrød

Scandwich is all about good food, drinks and company. In what format? Well, substantial Danish-style open sandwiches, exciting natural wines and guest appearances on tap. Sandwiches which have won them the Sandwich Championships. There are various toppings - both meat and vegan - all with masses of flavour and generous ingredients.

Urban food court

In the heart of Ringen shopping centre you'll find Teatern, Södermalm's foodie hotspot and a modern version of a food court. You'l find street food interpreted by a gang of top chefs, all you have to do is choose what kind of food you want to eat. Slurp tasty noodles at Raaman, by Adam/Albin, or try out Melker Andersson's Mexican joint Dos Gringos.

Indian traditions in a modern format

Indian Street Food & Co combines ancient food traditions with modern flavours, packaged in an urban street food format. Their popular Kathi Rolls are always on the menu; Indian bread filled with flavourful spices, sauces, a mixture of vegetables and your choice of protein. Check out where their food truck is today via social media or visit one of their restaurants in the city.

Fresh streetfood from Asia

This little lunch restaurant on Malmskillnadsgatan specialises in "fine street food" from Asia, with everything from salads to bibimbap and pad thai on the menu. All made from seasonal, organic and locally-produced ingredients wherever possible. With a limited number of tables, Happy Rooster is also a good takeaway option.

Mexican flavours from San Francisco

Forget bland Scandified TexMex - at Zócalo culinary influences come from the Mexican street food of the Mission District in San Francisco. Food is made Californian-style, with fresh, healthy ingredients. Pick and choose from Mexican flavours such as burritos, tacos and quesadillas. 

"Mission-Style Burritos"

Kenny Jones Jr, an American, founded The Good Gringo because he missed San Francisco-style burritos when he moved to Stockholm. He now serves authentic "Mission-Style Burritos" both on Kungsholmen and via his food truck, with an emphasis on great quality ingredients and an environmental conscience. 

All in one

Street food for all occasions - whether you want breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner. Some ten restaurants under the same roof, all experts at delivering fast street food. Choose from a varied selection of flavour experiences from cuisines including American, Mexican, Asian, Italian and Scandinavian.
