Five Plant-Forward Restaurants in Sweden

Family-owned Manto in the Södervärn area of Sweden’s third city Malmö is fully vegan and builds its menu around Afghan touchpoints and wider Asian comfort. The signatures are easy to understand and genuinely craveable: manto dumplings, bolani (a pan-fried flatbread, often filled with potato), and dishes like royal pakora (think oyster mushroom in a crisp spiced batter). On the heartier end, you’ll also see street-food rice dishes such as nakhud palaw accompanied by masala-seasoned soy-based “chicken”. This is Malmö dining at its best: straightforward and friendly, everything packed with flavor—a neighborhood dinner spot with a clear, vegan identity.
