Eating out for lunch can be pretty unpleasant in Stockholm. Below are some of the places that help you escape from such a disaster. (For their locations, use hitta.se to search.)
Canteens (sharing the table with other customers)
La Neta (Barnhusgatan 2, Östgötagatan 12B)
The best among several Mexican restaurants in Stockholm. Try tacos grandes.
K25 (Kungsgatan 25)
Most foodcourts in Stockholm are very much disappointing. But K25 is different, collecting the city's best lunch takeaway chains such as Beijing 8 (Chinese dumplings) and Zocalo (Mexican). Caffe Nero deserves a particular mention, serving decent Italian pasta. Somehow better-tasted than at its original location at Roslagsgatan 4. Closed on Sundays. The only problem with K25 is that its black interior, if stylish, doesn't appeal much during Stockholm's lovely summer time.
Paradiset Foodcourt (Brännkyrkagatan 62-64)
Another foodcourt that is worth being mentioned here. The upstair of an organic food supermarket is devoted to several health-conscious budget eateries. Delibruket Flatbred's pizza is probably Stockholm's best.
Cafes
Kafe Esaias (Drottninggatan 102)
Perhaps one of the best cafes in Stockholm. Its espresso was once named one of the world's top 5 shots. Lunch is also good. Try grilled sandwiches (accompanied with a little salad). Staff is very friendly, something unusual in Stockholm.
Foam (Karlavägen 75)
The best cafe in Östermalm with wooden, concrete, and shocking pink interiors in harmony under one roof. A bit pricey, though.
Chaikhana (Svartmangatan 23)
A tea house serving an English afternoon tea (a pot of tea together with quality sandwiches and English scorns) in the middle of Gamla stan.

Vegetarian restaurants
If you're vegetarian, here's the list of good vegetarian restaurants in Stockholm.
In addition, Stockholm University's Frescati campus (the nearest metro station: Universitetet on the northern end of the Red Line to Mörby centrum) has a very nice, multi-ethnic vegetarian restaurant called Greenpeas (at Svante Arrhenius Väg 10).

Juice bars
Stockholm used to be deserted by the lack of freshly squeezed fruit juice. Not any more. Among several juice bars popping up across the city, these two are the best:
Juiceverket
A very funky juice bar, pumping uplifting techno music in a large volume in a deliberately rough interior punctuated by wooden fruit boxes. A shot glass of Iron Man is recommended. Its original location is at Norrtullsgatan 21 (off Odenplan). The second branch is at Norrlandsgatan 13 (at the entrance of Mood Stockholm). Soon they will open the third branch in Hornstull.
Joe and the Juice
The rapidly expanding juice bar chain from Copenhagen finally opened a branch in Stockholm at Hamngatan 31, opposite of the NK department store.

Website (in Swedish): www.arirang.se/arirang
One of the two Korean restaurants on Luntmakargatan. On weekdays except for Monday, its lunch menu includes zapche (or japchae) for 95 krona and bibimbap for 110 krona. Lunch takeaway is also available.
This restaurant becomes a bit more expensive for dinner. If you need a budget supper, try the other Korean restaurant on the same street, Koreana at Luntmakargatan 76, serving bibimbap for around 100 krona.

Soup Lounge
Address: Hamngatan 37 (inside Gallerian)
Opening Hours:
Nearest Station: T-centralen, Kungsträdgården
Website (in Swedish): n.a.
If you walk on the ground floor of Gallerian, a shopping mall diagonally opposite to NK, just about halfway stands Soup Lounge, a soup bar, which recently (in November 2008) took over from Souperb with changes for the better. For less than 70 krona, you can choose from saffron seafood soup, green curry chicken soup, etc. with a piece of bread for free. If you go for green curry chicken soup, a bowl of Thai rice comes along, too. It's a great escape from the standard lunch menu (ie. pasta salad and various sandwiches) everywhere in Stockholm.

Günters Korvar
Address: Karlbergsvägen 66
Opening Hours: 11-20 / 11-16 / closed
Nearest Station: S:t Eriksplan
Website (in Swedish): hem.passagen.se/laibach/korv
Günters Korvar is reputed as Stockholm's best hot dog stand. And it is true. DO NOT expect those uninspiring hot dogs ubiquitous in Stockholm. This hot dog joint is serious, grilling not only sausages but also bread properly (a rarity in Stockholm) and adding its own basil sauce. It's worth queuing in front of the stand even under cold weather.

They also sell some Japanese ceramic dishes.

Visit this place when you are fed up with sandwiches and pasta salad for lunch.
