Moveat at NK
Moveat is a fun concept, where you walk around participating restaurants for a number of hours. At each stop, you get to taste a small dish and you are offered to buy a suitable drink to go with it - there are usually 5-6 stops included so pace yourself! Vegan options are available at every place. The only thing you need to do is buy a ticket to the festival and explore the different options at NK or indeed other areas in Sweden.
