    • Budget
    • SEK 60–100

Picks are computed from Voykit's own fields (walk-in windows, seating, diet, price band, booking). A place already picked for one category is passed over for the next when another qualifies; price-based picks never are. A category without a qualifying place is left out rather than filled.

Walk times are straight-line estimates (×1.3 for streets, 5 km/h); “(area)” means the cluster centre, not the door. Diet “ask” means possible with care; Voykit has not tested cross-contact.

House rules for eating here

  • Lunch (dagens lunch) is the cheapest way to eat well: a set main with salad, bread and coffee on weekdays.
  • Cards are the norm; some places do not take cash at all.
  • Tip is not expected; round up or leave 5–10% for good service.
