Dagenslunch or "Daily lunch" in Swedish is more of a thing in Göteborg (Gothenburg) than Stockholm from what I've seen. Most of Gothenburg's restaurants offer a daily lunch menu on weekdays where you can choose between fish, meat or a vegetarian option. The lunch price can be as low as 100kr, which makes trying new restaurants quite affordable at lunch.
Unfortunately during Covid, many restaurants have stopped including salad buffet or any type of buffet for that matter. And some of the restaurants that used to offer a daily buffet lunch are closed. One restaurant that still offers a daily lunch, however, that includes a salad buffet and dessert is Le Pain Francais.
While we work from home, this lunch has been a favorite. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to visit in a few months due to having kids home from school. So it's nice to reminisce about one of my favorite lunches. Don't get me wrong, Le Pain Francais is pretty family friendly as well. We have taken both kids for lunch there a couple of times and had a nice meal out, but these days, since we are walking everywhere, it's a bit of a trek to take them out for lunch. Sitting outside isn't easy either since they are more sensitive to the cold.

Even if Le Pain Francais offers a daily lunch, we find ourselves ordering the entrecote often. Grilled Entrecote for 155sek which comes with Fries and Salad. You can ask to just have salad if you don't want the fries as well.
Le Pain Francais lunch also includes a salad buffet, coffee/tea and desserts at the end of the meal. There is outdoor seating with heaters, so when we have visited for lunch, we have been eating outside. Service has been pretty good, short wait times and reasonable prices. Plenty of table space outdoors but could get crowded indoors.
If you're visiting Göteborg and looking for a great lunch option, Le Pain Francais is definitely a place to try. There are a few different locations of this restaurant but not all of them serve the same sort of lunch. Here are two of the locations that we know serve the steak and salad/dessert buffet:
Le Pain Francais Bistro
Kungsportsavenyn 7, Göteborg, SwedenLe Pain Francais Braisserie
Östra Larmgatan 20, 411 07 Göteborg, Sweden
