Just OK. - Edit
They have one vegan option for lunch and one for dinner and they are the same everyday. The vegan section for breakfast is sparse and the rest of the buffet the same as in every hotel restaurant except no baked beans so one fewer option. The chia seed pudding in the morning was reportedly vegan and quite good. The lunch and dinner appetizers are not vegan and the waitstaff seem confused about what vegan means. It was disappointing. The Arctic Thai place 1km away was not fancy but was good and had many more vegan options - we ate there three times during our 2 days in Kiruna.

Delicious vegan options - Edit
Stayed at the hotel. Had dinner here and breakfast. This place exceeded my expectations in taste and composition. However, by the end of my first dinner was unsure they understood "vegan." I specified please make it vegan, and the first course they explained all elements and it was vegan. Main course sounded vegan, but later on I started thinking it may have had non-vegan yogurt, because I asked for a vegan dessert and they brought "milk chocolate" and "sour cream" sorbet which made me confused. There was one sorbet which was certainly vegan and it was good (raspberry). I recommend this place, but come prepared to double check.

Pros: Creative flavors, Creative textures, Creative presentation
Cons: Became confused if it was 100% vegan, I wish they had more options

Great place for special occasions - Edit
The lunch was good value, big plates of well-made food served at the table. Really good bread on the side and coffee included.
Read moreFor dinner I had a delicious soup, followed by jackfruit chili. It was quite spicy but slightly lacking in umami or fat, I thought. A bit overpriced.
As I stayed at the hotel, I also had breakfast there. Not so impressive to be honest, no vegan cheese, peanut butter, baked beans or mushrooms which you get at many Swedish hotels.
A little bit of double checking is advised if more than one waiter serves your table.
On average, I rate Ripan a solid 4.
I hope more vegans visit and inspire them to become even better!
Pros: Staff was friendly and professional., Great environment and ambience. , Good wine list.
