Mesh

Stockholm's first healthfood plate

These days, it's easier than ever before to find healthy lunch options in Stockholm, but that hasn't always been the case. In the Nineties, Meshmesh Nildalen was the first to serve "healthfood plates" at Planet Food in Östermalmshallen food hall. Their name has now changed to Mesh, but the love of nutritious food and juices remains. Few lunch spots can compete with their many years of experience in rolling wraps and creating healthy salads and health plates.

Kale all the way

At popular Kale & Crave, the emphasis is on 100% "guilt free", healthy, organic fast food without sugar, lactose or gluten. They serve hot dishes and salads with a variety of protein options to choose from, and as the name suggests, kale is always an ingredient.
