IKEA Southampton
IKEA Southampton is a large four-floor venue combining Scandinavian furniture shopping with a bistro known for its iconic Swedish meatballs, including a vegan version. The restaurant serves affordable meals such as vegan hot dogs, pasta marinara, and vegan ice cream priced as low as £0.65, making it a budget-friendly spot despite occasional busy periods and wait lines. While the store is spacious and well-organized with wheelchair access and free parking options after purchases, some visitors note occasional challenges with food tray trollies, self-service tills, and inconsistent vegan labeling—particularly regarding gravy and mashed potatoes served with plant balls.
