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.

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.
