    I enjoyed it very much and I'm not even vegan. The system is very easy to understand. The food display is very impressive. I like the colour profile and variety. My only complaint is there are so many things that I can't enjoy everything in a single visit unless you stuff you strategically cut down the portion size for everything or stuff yourself (which fails the "enjoyment" part). I might come back whilst I'm in Stockholm... (It took me a while to figure out, but you take the stairs to the lower level to find this place.)

    vegetarian buffet 3

    Because we had a vegetarian in the group, a friend recommended Hermans, an all you can eat vegetarian buffet, which sits on the harbor between Södermalm and Gamla Stan near the Slusson Station. Although our group is predominately meat eaters, we were all surprised by the buffet selection at Hermans and how much we enjoyed the taste of the food. With that said, my mouth did feel like the food had MSG. After eating, there were several desserts available for purchase, so we purchased all of them. Included in the buffet is coffee and tea. If you sit in the right room, you get a view of the harbor; otherwise, no view. However, if you intend to sit and talk for a while, this is an ideal restaurant to do so as no one is rushing you out.

    Amazing location with A spectacular view of Stockholm. I recently lived in a flat around the corner for 2 weeks in June. I have lived in LA the Vegan capital of the world for 30 years but was actually born in this area! I was so pleasantly surprised with your restaurant and vegan buffet and of course view and everything else. No alcohol but who needs alcohol it makes you fat and gives you cancer! I brought my family here and told all my American friends who are touristing in Stockholm summer!

    I want to start by pointing it out that it's not a very baby friendly place. Strollers are not allowed inside and all the passages are very narrow and usually quite crowded so it was quite a problem for us to get to our table with our super small travel stroller (since our baby was asleep, we took it inside anyway). Although the variety was very limited, I liked that their salads were exciting and exotic, but keep in mind that they are kept on ice and not very compelling during winter time. Furthermore it was quite stressful to stand in long line in that narrow isle to get food.

    This place is definitely worth a visit. I visited Stockholm in October and there was not many tourists so it was easy to find nice seats and not crowded in the buffet area. My experience can pretty much be concluded in the following bullet points: - medium-high quality vegan food (to wash down all the grease that came with all the meatballs and hotdogs from Günter's) - GORGEOUS view - complimentary coffee and tea - price is reasonable The restaurant was also very clean and I could not get enough of the view (it was right by the waters and you can see Gröna Lund across)!! I wouldn't say the food was amazing but it was a really nice and healthy meal full of veggies that was much needed as a tourist after trying out so many different restaurants.

    Herman's restaurant is tucked away atop a hill side overlooking the harbor and offers an eclectic buffet with several food choices! Food Exceptional quality for a buffet. Everything is fresh and nothing looked or tasted old or spoiled. Being that we are not typically fans of buffets this one was spot on. Everything tasted exceptional, several flavors and spices. You'll definitely want to separate the portions a bit so that you experience each dish on its own. We highly recommend the lasagna! Atmosphere Very vibrant with a big mix of locals and tourists. There are plenty of spaces for privacy and if you sit outside you get the luxury of beautiful views overlooking Stockholm's harbor. Service This is pretty much self serve but the hosts are gracious and willing to answer any questions you have. Price $$ - very good considering the amount of food you can get. Coffee is included with price if meal. Student discounts offered.

    Second Plate

    To start off, I have to say I came here extremely annoyed and pissed off that I got sucked into having to eat at this vegetarian buffet instead of the fried herring and mashed potatoes I wanted to buy off the streets. I love vegetarian food (especially Indian), but sometimes when you want fish and potatoes you really want it. I definitely had a very pouty face standing in line. But by the end of the whole experience, the food really won me over and I apologized to my group for giving them such a hard time. The buffet is 130 SEK per person (~$16 USD). You stand in line at the cash register to pay and get a ceramic plate. The buffet is in the room next to it. The cash register and buffet room is a bit cramped and chaotic. I think they can probably streamline their process a little better so you're not always bumping into people. Once you pay and get a plate fill it up and come back for seconds or thirds with the same plate. I love how you can reuse the same plate and not be so wasteful like those American buffets and their stupid FDA rules. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Inside immediately right outside is crowded, but if you go outside, down, and all the way to the right, there's a small alcove with even more seating. Bathroom is upstairs and they even have free wi-fi. Network name and password is on a sign next to the cash register. Every dish was delicious! At the beginning of the buffet you can cut yourself some fresh loafs of bread. And they provide a cloth to hold the bread so you don't spread your germs. Genius! Make sure you pair the bread with their delicious olive tapenade or vegan butter. They then split up the hot and cold dishes. For hot dishes, they offered lasagna, roasted baby potatoes, Thai vegetable curry, chana masala, and basmati rice with cardamon and star anise. Make sure you get the lasagna!!! It will make you happy. My mood improved x10 after eating that lasagna. The curry and chana masala were delicious as well, but they were not spicy enough for my taste. Next to the hot foods section they offer a variety of salads and a huge bowl of hummus. I was a big fan of their bulgar. This place also had the absolute best chokladbollars I had in Stockholm for 28 SEK (~$3.50 USD) each. The chocolate was unbelievably soft yet not melty, not too sweet, and had the perfect balance of chocolate and espresso. Best part is it's vegan but you can hardly tell! I really miss these chokladbollars. I would fly back to Stockholm just to get these again. In the beginning I still wanted to get my plate of fried herring from the street vendor so I planned on eating a little. I ended up eating two huge plates and got dessert afterwards. Needless to say, extremely delicious, filling, and worth your money.

    Super awesome vegan food! You are missing out if you haven't been! Students get 50% off on buffet with the purchase of a beverage after 15:00 or all day on the weekend.

    A variety of salads and the tasty Hermans ale
    Kelly P.

    There are countless things to love about traveling Scandinavia, but vegetarian buffets are among the best of them. Hermans is a wonderful example. It offers a relaxed, casual dining experience removed from the touristy kitsch of the old town with a distinctly Stockholm twist. I enjoyed just about everything I tried here (in my picture you can see couscous, fajita salad, an aubergine dish, and the awesome red ale I had with my meal, but I did go back up for seconds), but the real standout is the bread. It's thick, dense, and delicious, and the vegan cream cheese and tapenade spreads only serve to improve it. You also absolutely cannot beat the view. Hermans is located on the cliff right above Fotografiska, and the outdoor seating offers the best vantage point of Gamla Stan and the sea that I found during my time in Stockholm. If you're a student, be sure to ask about the discount. It cuts the price of your meal in half!

    Dessert offerings up front

    We had a wonderful experience at Herman's!! When we visited early-ish (around 6pm) on a Monday evening, they were running a special - the dinner buffet for the lunch buffet price if you order a drink or dessert! I thought this was a pretty good deal. You order up front and get your plate, cutlery and drinks. Take a seat in the room straight ahead with the amazing view of the city. At the time we got there, it wasn't too crowded and we were able to sit right at the window. The view alone is worth it! The buffet room was so beautiful!! I was immediately overwhelmed - first by the bread (I have dreams about bread like this) and then by the rest of the offerings. Even my meat loving partner was satisfied, though not relieved he claims. I thought he was nervous about going to a veg buffet, though he says he wasn't. Our favorites were an apple/grape salad, a vermicelli noodle salad, the hummus (!!), pesto pasta salad with sundried tomatoes, and a white bean chili. The samosas were impressive! Less impressive: lasagna, quinoa/kale salad, sweet and sour curry. I think some of the items suffer from sitting around. But the tasty ones more than make up for it. Get the herb butter spread for all your slices of bread!! And for everything else you eat! Also the ginger beer is gr8. I made it through two full plates (like a champion) and seriously considered going back for thirds. I loved that coffee and tea are included. No shame - I thought the coffee straight from the machine was GREAT. You'll need that coffee/tea afterwards because your tummy will be too full to move. So lounging is suggested. Didn't get to try any desserts, but want to return because they all looked so tempting! As we were leaving, all the tables and the buffet room seemed to be filling up quickly, so I would recommend coming on the earlier side to beat the rush.

As I am a tourist, I got that crazy milkshake with a cinnamon bun on top of it just for good measure of course. The cinnamon buns in Sweden are obviously exceptional as they originated from there- crunchy on the outside and warm, melted, soft cinnamon goodness on the inside. The waffles are delicious as well, regardless of which waffle you get. All in all, this is a great place to go to if you're visiting Stockholm!

I'm not sure what Swedish waffles and 1950s diners have in common, but this place makes it work for sure. We came in on a Sunday morning, and were able to get seated right away. My cousin and I both had the raspberry waffle with whipped cream (75 sek, approx $8USD.). The waffle was perfectly crispy and the jam was delicious, but it wasn't a particularly filling for the price, really just a treat. They had fancier offerings as well, for a bit more money, as well as savory combinations. I overheard from a neighboring table that you can order a waffle with both whipped cream and ice cream. Where was this information when I was ordering? Oh well, next time. I would visit Älskade Traditioner again, but perhaps only for dessert. Alternatively I may try one of their savory options for a full meal.
