Worst vegan food I eaten in over 10 years

Closed as of the 10th of April

First off this place based early marketing on the idea that it was the first healthy vegan fastfood place in Stockholm, which is a lie, the echos of missed Ecobar can still be found, but that was not in the hipster block in the hipster days so it seems to not count. Oh well I could go on about this but it is rather unimportant for most people I guess

This would all be forgiven if it was actual good food so I did decide to give it a try on two separate occasions, trying two different types of burger.

Well different types on the menu at least, in fact it did not taste anything at all. For me and for the people I tried this with the food did not taste good, it did not taste bad either, it just did not taste.

I been vegan for most of the 00s, this is the worst experience I have had of vegan food during that time. Because blandness is worse then bad taste.

Now I suspect the culprit here is salt, as many likes the food but they seem to be in the younger generation which would match this.

Also let me indulge in two other pet peeves, when this place started they made a deal of bio-dynamic, which ethical vegans pointed out is not actually you know vegan at all, they skipped back on it but I highly suspect there suppliers are still the same, and as it seem health is the only part that is important for the owner...

... also let's indulge a small bit on health, vegan food can be healthy and this food I am sure is healthy, however the drink options for alcohol is advanced here while there is very little and depressing options for us non-drinkers. Now there is at least as much evidence of alcohol having a negative health-effect as there is for vegan food having a positive, so if it was a consequence on this there would be no alcohol sold , but I understand it is (espacally when the owner have a personal relationship to the wine importer) there because of profit. (But maybe talk to organisations for non-alcoholic drinks to find as good options that is non-alcoholic). Also I been there on occasions when there where special options with alcohol but not without (which would be illegal if they where on the license, but I suspect the license if for the full foodcourt)

All this means my honest opinion on this place is that it is a 1 star place. But I can't give that so 2 it is. Hopefully this will be seen as room for betterment and I can change my mind one day.

Pros: Healthy, All Vegan, Central

Cons: Bland, Expensive, Bad non-alcoholic options

Yep, and don't forget Green 'n Lean even before Ecobar..
On the whole, the Plant is not a great miss..
Can't help but notice that some cashless places are vanishing, in Stockholm (The Plant, Matapoteket, Taku Taku), in Gothenburg (Open New Doors), etc. No idea if it will have to do with this blatant rejection of a number of customers, but I certainly can't feel sorry for them..

Nice dressings and burgers

The burgers are nice and there are many options available, however it is a little bit pricey for what you’re getting. The burgers are tasty sure, but not the best ones I’ve had. But I must give a good word for the fries and the different dressings!

tasty burgers at the cost of a big pile of garbage

Finding the entrance was a little brain teaser - you gotta go through the Ringens shopping mall from the Götgatan street (big shinning neon circle).

The seats - shared with others restaurants - are amazing and reminds of a Colosseum.

The food was satisfying - tasty and big enough, the sad part is the garbage issue: cups and cutlery are all made of plastics and the garbage sorting did not seem to work either (lazy people just left their trays on the tables and walked away despite the possibility to sort the garbage).

The deposit system for cups/plates/etc would be a great move. Every tray has a single use paper-mat.

Pros: tasty burgers, unusual seating

Cons: garbage garbage garbage

not worth it!

whats wrong with this sick city?
i was going all the way here just to discover the second place who does not accept real money.
i was paying with card this which i regret.
will never even think to come back again.

someone that does not want customers money does not deserve to have a business.

Pros: none

Cons: not so quiet, no real plates or cutlery

Hello,

The main issue is not this place it's Sweden, the country tries to go cashless, which is for most of the world problematic, indeed.

Burgery Goodness

I had the Bearnaise Burger, oooh it was delicious. Definitely not bland, lots of great flavors, the potato side dish went great with the burger. I'm looking forward to the next visit!

Pros: top notch burger, good price

Burgers ok, nothing special

The Plant is located inside a shopping mall. The place is in a little 'food court' set up like an amphitheatre. Cosy seats on the 'benches' of the theatre - the lamp and little desks remind me of a university library.
The food itself is nothing special. The burgers have creative ingredients (for example, the Forest Burger has a mushroom sauce, pickled red onions and lingonberries) but you don't really notice this in the flavour of the burger. I could hardly taste the mushrooms, the taste of the pickled onions and lingonberries gave the burger an acidic flavour that was overwhelming. The potato side was tasty.

Pros: Great location, All vegan

Cons: Burgers were ok at best, Wine was expensive, Plastic cutlery

Loved it

I thought their burgers were delicious. The salads and sides are also not bad. I especially liked the potatoes with sour cream. I also enjoy the location as it reminds me of my time at university, sitting at a lecture theatre and eating - that was just me? Oh well...
Anyhow, the staff were also really friendly and I'm so glad to see all-vegan restaurants popping up here and there, even in food courts such as this one.

Place that makes you happy

You can find the plant in a food court within a shopping mall in sodermalm. The menu was just a little bit extra compared to comparative vegan restaurants. For example the ‘soft ice’ for desert made from oatly

Pros: The menu, Location

Cons: Not all options on the menu available in summer

nice atmosphere & yummy food

The Plant is located inside a shopping centre, where they built a "amphitheatre-food-location". The atmosphere is very relaxed. They offer different burgers and organic drinks such as kombucha. Very tasty and the staff was very friendly!

Pros: easy to find, very friendly staff

Average - needs to step up quality or lower prices!

I've eaten here on several occasions and each time I've had one of the burgers. They are all okay and filling but I reckon they could do better with the bread which goes mushy and falls apart. My favourite is actually the side order of roasted potatoes which are excellent! I recently ordered apple pie which is served with Booja Booja vanilla ice cream. They charged 45 kr for quite a small slice which was barely warm and had a rather sharp, bitter flavour. My friend ordered a brownie which was a joke; about 30 kronor for a mouthful! Disappointing.

If The Plant are going to charge these prices they really need to up their game in terms of quality, especially the dessert menu.

The joint in Ringen is in an open food court so it's advisable to head their at off-peak hours if you're sensitive to noisy environments.

Pros: Filling burger, Side order of potatoes, Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive, Noisy food court

Clean Fast Food

The burgers were delicious, we tried four different and let them split each one in two. It was easy, clean and fun to eat. A lot of unusual flavours. The side side orders came with the burgers. They serve alcohol and many different drinks.

Great vegan burgers, I love the Newbie, their simple but great burger. The Plant is located in a food court so don't expect a lengthy dinner but rather amazingly tasty vegan fast food.
