Matholmen gathers many of Stockholm's food trucks at Skeppsholmen on summertime weekends, with loungey seating and a great view of Djurgården, Strandvägen, and lots of boats. It markets itself as Sweden's largest food truck fair, and it really is quite big.
I had been seeing and reading a lot about Matholmen and decided to make my way over there one Saturday afternoon when I was starting to feel a little peckish. I take it the food trucks present will vary each weekend because when I was there, quite a few of the trucks listed on Matholmen's website weren't there.. hrrm.
So who was there? A lot of BBQish/meat-y trucks, with burgers. A lot of Latino-ish trucks. One with donuts, one with dumplings. A crabshack. So you'd think there's something for everyone.. well I can't help but feel overwhelmingly underwhelmed by food trucks in Sweden/Stockholm. Most are, again, really meat-focused with few veggie options - usually a variation of a cheese or mushroom burger. Little to no seafood-fish trucks. Dessert? Shakes? Chocolate?
