A travel blog that catalogs vegetarian-friendly destinations names Lao Wai as a vegetarian restaurant in Stockholm.fetched May 13, 2026A single guide named Thatsup states that Lao Wai serves dishes "free from … gluten." The restaurant's own website or menu does not confirm this. No dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer is mentioned. The risk of cross-contamination is unknown. Staff may accommodate requests.
