I’ve always really enjoyed trips to Scandinavia as due to high levels of diagnosed coeliac disease, lactose and gluten intolerance there is an abundance of gluten, lactose free and vegan foods.
Whilst in holiday in Stockholm today I’ve enjoyed some real treats, including the sneaky ice cream below. Strawberry and elderflower sorbet. Mmmmm.
After a busy day sightseeing (and tucking into ice cream) we were ready for a nice evening meal. Which is perfect because we found Under Kastenjen in Old Town, Stockholm.
Under Kastenjen means under the chestnut tree, named for a beautiful tree in a narrow medieval courtyard.
Under Kastanjen is open during the day as a cafe and bakery. They actually have two bakeries on site, one entirely gluten and lactose free. They sell a range of pastries and coffees.
In the evening they are a restaurant and bar. Serving food in the formal restaurant downstairs, the informal cafe area and at their courtyard tables. All the starters, mains and desserts are either gluten and lactose free or they can be adjusted to make them gluten and lactose free. If like me you are also a veggie they have several veggie options.
Whilst you wait for your food they also dish up homecooked gluten free bread and I had apricot and raisin loaf. My main was the veggie bean burger which came with a delicious mango salsa and chips.
In addition to super coeliac-friendly food the service was also excellent and the team were really friendly and helpful. Definitely a spot I would recommend for all.
