Love this place! - Edit
I eat here every chance I get! Always good. If they have the veggie lasagna, you should try it. They have a cold buffet and drawers in the warmer with hot dishes. They also have fun flavored waters!

Good food in Old Town - Edit
I love Old Town and sat outside although it was raining. Small place, good food. Ask staff what's vegan and not. They're not unfriendly, but quite stiff.

Small but very nice restaurant in the heart of Stockholm. They have a tasty buffet of vegetarian dishes including soup. They also sell delicious cakes. Their prices are modest.

Filling, cosy and casual - Edit
Food was nice but typical of a buffet, nothing was piping hot except the soup which was fresh as we arrived. The location is great, price is about what I have come to expect in Stockholm. Not all vegan but when we went that meant we just had to avoid 1 particular sauce.
Pros: lots of vegan options , convenient location , filling

Nice Buffet Stop - Edit
Cool cosy cafe atmosphere, Help yourself to the buffet. Not everything is vegan which is the main downfall, But good for location and friendly staff. Prices are a bit high but Stockholm is an expensive city and it is in the centre so don't be shocked. Still worth it :)
Pros: Buffet, Good central location
Cons: Not all vegan

Great food - Edit
It's a small buffet with only a couple of hot dishes at a time, but it's great food. Hermitage is kind of like a mini version of Herman's (sometimes confusing) but I wish it was all vegan! Why not??
Pros: Great value
Cons: Not entirely vegan

Too bad everything isn't vegan - Edit
Cozy spot with homemade style food. Very busy around lunchtime, and hard to get a table.

vegetarian buffet in the city center - Edit
If you want to eat good vegetarian/vegan food on Gamla Stan and not get bancrupted, that's a good option. You pay for a buffet and eat as much as you want. I liked hummus and raw cabbage salad most of all. If you wish to have coffee/tea/sweets, you pay extra. The staff was friendly and happy to assist :)

Vegan retreat - Edit
This was a perfect stop off after a morning of sightseeing in the Old Town. Considering the location the prices here are very inexpensive where you can get lunchtime deal for just 120SEK. Inside there is unlimited water and a number of vegan options to choose from such as soup, stew, curries, koftas, potatoes and salad bar, although I did have to ask which dishes were vegan. As with most buffets you can fill up your plate as much as you want but expect some buffet traffic whilst you wait to get your food. Although not as good as Hermans, the food here is hearty and tasty and we left feeling full and satisfied.
Pros: Vegan options, Inexpensive, Outside seating
Cons: Buffet traffic, Not 100% vegan, Vegan food could be labelled

Good alternative in "Gamla stan" - Edit
A fair vegan alternative if you are in Gamla stan (Old city). A traditional vegetarian restaurant that serves the dishes in a warm and a cold buffet. You don't need to leave hungry.
Pros: Nice Location, Outdoor seating, You don't leave hungry
Cons: Can be crowded

Great place but not entirely vegan - Edit
This place was nice, well located in Gamla Stan. You can find a buffet, however nothing indicates which plate is vegan or only vegetarian.

Vegetarian Gem in Gamla Stan - Edit
Hermitage is an excellent vegetarian dining choice after spending a day or afternoon exploring the Old Town, the most beautiful part of Stockholm. We came after touring the Royal Palace. There is indoor and outdoor seating and we chose outdoor seating due to the warmth offered by the provided colorful blankets and interesting street scene. It is buffet style so you pay for your plate and can fill it as many times as you desire. Though there are limited options they are all excellent. Highly recommend the spinach cannelloni, vegan ratatouille and selection of natural sodas. Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend.
Pros: Location , Outdoor Seating with Blankets, Buffet Style
Cons: Small Restaurant, 2. Prices

Good food in Gamla stan - Edit
Tasty food all you can eat. Baked potatoes, lasagna, spinach soup etc + salads. The place was small but cosy. You could have water spiced with lemon or fresh herbs with no extra charge.
Recommended!
Pros: Good food, Location, Cosy

Good for a break from sightseeing - Edit
The food is not super creative or super tasty, but if you get hungry while strolling through the streets of Gamla Stan, this is a good spot to sit down and to have a break. I prefer freshly prepared food over buffet, but the options are fine and the food is good. The vegan cakes on the other hand are only suitable for people who like their dessert really sweet, so I would not recommend those.
Pros: Great Location, Easy and Fast
Cons: Cakes are too sweet for my taste

Great choice for vegans - Edit
This is a warm and cosy restaurant - even though it was snowing heavily, this was worth the walk to the old town and was very well heated as well as serving piping hot food. There are lunchtime (120SEK per person)and afternoon/evening (130SEK per person) buffets, as well as a separate menu and choice of cakes. Hot drinks are 15SEK if purchased with a buffet. We had the lunchtime buffet, served from 11-14, which included four hot dishes, plenty of salad, quinoa, bread, hummous, dipping sauces and dressings, and unlimited water. All items in the buffet were vegan with the exception of one sauce - not sure about the rest of the menu although at least one cake was vegan. It was all-you-can-eat so you can refill the plate many times, though to be honest, after two plates each, we were set for the rest of the day! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about which items were vegan, and also speak English.
EDIT Jul 2017 - most of what I have written before still stands, although the prices are now 130SEK and 140SEK for lunch and dinner buffets respectively. What has changed since my last visit is the attitude of the staff, who presently do not seem to be interested in greeting or helping customers. Whilst I understood the system, I heard a group of non-locals be talked to quite rudely because they did not know what was included or not in the buffet or if they could refill. Hopefully it was an off day, but for the benefit of new guests: you pay at the counter upon arrival. The whole salad bar and drawers with hot dishes are included, as is the bread and soup, and you can refill your plate as often as you like. If you want water, you can take it from the jugs at the opposite end of the counter, even though they are technically in the staff area, and tea and coffee are included at lunch, but cost 15SEK at dinner. Two/three of the buffet options contain dairy, but are not labelled, so say 'vegan/vegansk' when paying.

Good, Not Great - Edit
I had the lunch buffet at Hermitage and was satisfied. However, I found that it came up short in a couple ways. First, the salad is very boring. There isn't even salad dressing! Second, several of the dishes are salty. They would taste much better with less salt and more pepper/other spices. In any event, it seems like the best vegetarian option in the area when you want a full meal and not just a pastry or cheese sandwich.
Pros: Extensive selection of cold and hot dishes.
Cons: Boring salad, several dishes too salty.

Alright - Edit
All in all, the food was alright. The bread, potatoes and falafel were tasty, but the salads and especially the humus could have been better (it tasted like they just creamed chick peas without adding any spices or garlic).. since they don't have that many different choices on their buffet, I think they should improve the ones they already do have. Compared to other restaurants in Stockholm it was cheap though: you could eat as much as you want and tea and coffee is included for only 120 swedish crowns.

In love - Edit
This is the first restaurant I loved when I moved to Stockholm and it's still my favourite place to stop when I go shopping or take a round in the city.
The food is always fresh and tasty and, apart from the lasagna, everything is vegan.
You can order their sallads or choose the buffet, and with the last one you can eat how much You want.
Try also their cakes, they are fantastics!
Pros: Quiet place, in the hystorical part of Stockholm,
Cons: Few tables...but you can make a reservation!
