After the price increases: The restaurant eats meat and seafood - switches to vegan

In connection with inflation, the price of food has increased sharply in the past year.

Mainly on animal products such as fish, chicken and butter.

However, the price of the vegan food products has not increased as much.

Several restaurants that SVT Nyheter Väst spoke to now state that they have replaced meals with meat for vegetarian or vegan options.

- There are many people who comment on it, who may not be used to eating vegetarian, says Elvira Sterky.

Tofu and chickpea steaks on the menu

What do the customers get instead of fish and shellfish then?

- It varies.

Sometimes it's tofu, but today we have chickpea patties, she says.

Elvira Sterky tells us that they still have some dishes with meat on the menu.

But if the price of meat continues to rise, they may have to raise the price of the dishes or remove the meat altogether. 

- I absolutely believe that we will focus on more vegan food, precisely because we face resistance from customers if we raise the price, she says.
