Looking for a vegan Prague guide written by a local? Wanna know where the best vegan restaurants in Prague are?

Then you’re in the right place! I’ve been living in Prague for years and know exactly where to, and where not to go.

If you’re surprised to learn that there are ANY vegan restaurants in Prague, you’re not alone. I was too when I first came here. In fact, the capital of the Czech Republic is a paradise for vegans.

Despite Czech cuisine being all about stewed meats, dumplings, and heavy sauces vegan and vegetarian restaurants are all over Prague.

A whopping 47 of them are vegan! Plus, nearly every month it seems like a new vegan restaurant in Prague opens.

The stunning restaurant is cozy and spacious and has a beautiful, verdant garden in the back that is perfect for an outdoor dining on a nice sunny day.

Additionally, there is a tapas plate for two that comes with arancini, chickn poppers, Spanish crouquettes sin jamon, hummus, olives, and bread. An excellent starter for two.

Their desserts are homemade and include cakes, tarts, and more. They also offer premium quality coffee and tea too.

Pastva

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to Try: The menu changes regularly but their pate or foie gras are always excellent

Pastva (which means grazing in Czech, not pasta) is a spectacular vegan restaurant in the Anděl neighborhood of Prague. It’s the perfect place for a celebration dinner or romantic meal. The food is absolutely phenomenal, and it’s obvious that the kitchen staff know what they’re doing!

The restaurant offers a reasonably priced daily lunch menu as well as a fantastic dinner menu with a wide variety of options to choose from. Some of my favorite items on the menu include the vegan foie gras and the lasagna. Pure heaven.

Before you leave, check out the dessert case where they have an ever-changing variety of vegan and raw sweets.

Belzepub

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to try: The Vegan Chili Cheese Burger.

As of January 2020 Belzepub is totally vegan!! This change isn’t really a surprise to me since they have always had some of…or maybe THE best vegan burgers in Prague.

The Zizkov bar has a variety of vegan burger options including vegan cheese and vegan mayo, as well as delicious fries, vegan onion rings, vegan fish’n’chips, vegan cheese sticks, and vegan coleslaw. Wash it all down with a frosty Pilsner Urquell (they have some of the best beer on tap in Prague in my opinion) and it’s the perfect greasy meal before a big night out.

Just make sure to check their website before you head there because they have weird hours, including not being open on Saturday or Sunday. Also, they stop serving food at 10:00 pm, so go early!

Sociální bistro Střecha

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to try: The vegan schnitzel and Saturday brunch.

Social bistro Střecha is a vegan restaurant and cafe is a social enterprise that offers work to people who are homeless or who have recently served time in prison.

The charming, spacious restaurant is located in New Town and offers diners simple vegan dishes, desserts, fair-trade coffee, and drinks at reasonable prices.

They serve a daily lunch menu from Monday to Friday and a set menu in the evenings. They also have a Saturday breakfast offer that changes weekly.

The food is simple, homestyle cooking but will leave you feeling totally satisfied and happy you visited, especially since the bill will never break your budget.

EATERNIA

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to try: Hot dog and Fries!

Hot dogs, and burgers, and fries! Oh, my!

The all vegan EATERNIA restaurant is a junk food Mecca. This 50s diner style spot in Smíchov dishes up veganized American, Canadian, Italian, Hungarian, and Czech favorites. The menu included vegan hot dogs, hamburgers, poutine, gnocchi, langos, and fries.

In typical Czech style, the restaurant also has a daily lunch menu with a soup and main to choose from. When I went it was a potato pancake with sauerkraut and tofu.

Having had a Beyond Burger the night before I visited EATERNIA, I opted for the vegan hot dog. A choice I did not regret! The sausage was smokey, the bread buttery, sauerkraut tangy, and the mayo…mayoey?

Of course, I got a side of fries which perfectly crispy and perfectly salted…something all too often not done well in Prague.

EATERNIA also has some awesome looking desserts which I opted to leave for my next visit since I was absolutely stuffed from the hot dog, fries, and delicious Vinohradský pivovar beer I washed it all down with.

If you’re in the mood for stellar vegan junk food in Prague, EATERNIA is one of the best options in the city!

Linh’s Vegan Corner 

Linh’s Vegan Corner is a vegan Vietnamese restaurant, cafe, and grocery store.

The humongous menu features Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, and Western dishes.

My suggestion, stick to the Vietnamese dishes, because Linh’s does it right! Especially the Dragon Tofu. It’s a dish I had nearly daily when I was in Vietnam and this version is on point. Crispy tofu, slightly spicy chilis, zesty lemongrass. What’s not to like? It’s served with rice, salad, and sauerkraut (giving it a Czech flair).

Another stand-out dish is the vegan pork belly. Look, if you’re one of those vegans who never liked meat in the first place, this dish is not for you. But if you became vegan purely for animal cruelty but always enjoyed food before that, give it a try. It’s crazy good, and I can’t even imagine how they manage to create this dish.

Linh’s also has a variety of homemade dessert (try the homemade mochi), bubble teas, coffee, and regular teas. Which makes for the perfect ending to an excellent meal!

After you eat, be sure to have a look around the shop for some truly fantastic vegan grocery options. Mock meats, mochi, cookies, ice cream (including Czech made Patipatti), milks, cheeses, and more are all on offer.

Loving Hut

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to try: For a real treat, try their Vegan Pho! The buffet is always good too.

Loving Hut is a worldwide vegan restaurant chain with multiple locations scattered all over Prague.

The restaurants in Prague serve Asian style food like curries, pho, fried rice, noodles, and spring rolls. There is a vegan pay-by-weight buffet or a full menu to choose from.

 

Country Life

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to Try: Anything that looks good.

Country Life has been around since 1998. It’s located a few meters from Old Town Square so it’s a great vegan food option for anyone staying in the center of Prague. It’s also located next door to a health food store by the same name.

The Country Life restaurant offers a wide variety of simple, country style food to choose from. It’s a self serve dining experience where you pay for food by weight. The daily options include beans, pasta, pizza, salad, veggies, and mock meats.

To be honest, at first glance I didn’t think I was going to love my meal, but the food surpassed my expectations. It is very simple, and homey, but well seasoned, tasty, and comforting.

If you’re in Old Town and want a quick and affordable vegan meal, this is a good option.

Chutnej

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to try: Them burgers obviously!

When I saw Chutnej pop up on HappyCow for the first time I was not inclined to run over and give it a try. The pics on their website and Facebook page are a bit misleading. I was expecting it to be akin to a vegan version of Mc Donalds or Burger King and wasn’t enticed. After a few positive reviews from friends and some junk food cravings I decided to give it a try.

The restaurant is much larger and more open than I expected. The space is clean and has a minimalistic feel complete with unvarnished wooden tables and chairs, and the big windows at the front of the restaurant let in loads of light.

Their burgers are solid and they have nice fixin’s like vegan mayo and cheese, pickles, lettuce, red onion, and tomato. They’re a big mess and a touch challenging to eat, but what burger worth its salt isn’t? The onion rings were a bit lackluster but not bad overall, and the lemonades (what Czech call sodas) were up to any hipsters standards.

For the price – 225 kc for burger/side/drink – the quality could be higher, but if you’re craving flavorful vegan junk food and are in the neighborhood, Chutnej is a good option.

Mlsná Kavka

• Restaurant Type: Vegetarian
• What to Try: Daily Lunch Menu

Mlsná kavka is a straight up cozy and casual vegetarian restaurant in Karlin. When I’m in the neighborhood around lunch time it’s my go-to spot.

Their down-to-earth homestyle cooking is delightful and typically pretty healthy. Their daily lunch menu features vegan options, and on my most recent visit the dessert was even vegan!

In addition to the delicious food and lovely setting, the restaurant is a social company. They employ people who have experienced mental illness. So, when you visit Mlsná kavka, you support two compassionate causes.

Satsang

• Restaurant Type: Vegetarian
• What to Try: The brunch and curry.

Satsang vegetarian restaurant has, hands down, the best vegan brunch in Prague.

Not only do they have a build-your-own scrambled tofu menu where you can add loads of different things to your scramble, like vegan cheese and homemade vegan bacon, but they also have big and fluffy vegan American style pancakes, and bottomless mimosas and coffee on the menu.

It’s the perfect weekend brunch option!

Satsang also has an excellent dinner menu with plenty of vegan options like curry, pad thai, bahn xiao (coconut milk savory pancakes), and vegan mezze. They also have vegan wine on the menu!

If you’re looking for a lovely restaurant for a cozy dinner, date, or a hearty hangover curing weekend brunch, Satsang is the place to go.

Dhaba Beas

• Restaurant Type: Vegetarian
• What to try: Make sure you save room on your plate for the vegan samosas.

Another pay by weight, buffet style restaurant, Dhaba Beas Vegetarian Restaurant has a nice selection of vegan Indian dishes. Most of the items on their buffet are vegetarian but everything is clearly marked to show which items are vegan and which include dairy.

Dhaba Beas is a chain restaurant with 12 locations around Prague.

Paprika – Mediterranean Bistro & Bar

• Restaurant Type: Vegan Friendly (Not Vegan or Vegetarian)
• What to try: The falafel!

Another non-vegan restaurant in Prague serving up delicious vegan food.

Paprika Mediterranean Bistro & Bar serves tasty Israeli food including vegan falafel, vegan shawarma, hummus, and fluffy homemade pita bread. It’s a great spot for a quick lunch, dinner, or takeaway.

They have two locations, one near IP Pavlova and another in Andel. Head to their larger Andel restaurant if you want to guarantee a table and seat.

Arepas de Lyna

• Restaurant Type: Vegan Friendly (not Vegan or Vegetarian)
• What to Try: the Vegan Arepas

Arepas de Lyna is a non-vegan Venezuelan restaurant serving home made food, including delicious vegan arepas and empanadas!

If you’ve never had arepas your tastebuds are in for a real treat. They’re a type of bread/cake usually made from ground corn. They’re cooked on a griddle and stuffed with almost anything you can imagine. I haven’t had them since I was in Colombia so this was kind of a special moment.

The vegan arepas at Arepas de Lyna are served with beans, salad, avocado, and toasted sesame seeds on top. The portions are a bit small for a meal but they’re an excellent snack! Highly recommended.

Vegan Prague Guide to Vegan Pizza

There are a few places where you can get vegan pizza with vegan cheese in Prague. To be totally honest, pizza is pretty bad in Prague in general. So, scoring a vegan pizza is no easy feat. But, there are a couple of options.

Third Coast Pizza

Restaurant Type: Vegan Friendly (Not Vegan or Vegetarian)

By no means does Third Coast Pizza have loads of vegan options, but what the do have is spectacular. I can’t believe I’m endorsing a non-NYC or n0n-Neapolitan style pizza, but wow…Third Coast is doing something unique.

Their Detroit-style pizza is thiccc. The dough is fluffy, chewy, and somehow crunchy all at the same time. The sauce is dee- and savory, and the toppings are high quality.

I recommend going with the vegan Dominik Hašek pizza (shown in the pic above) and adding black olives and caramelized onions. Just be forewarned. These pizzas are hearty. I’ve never managed to get through two pieces of my four piece pizza. So, plan to bring some home with you. It’s delicious cold, so not a bad thing at all.

Hot Plants

• Restaurant Type: 100% Vegan

Hot Plants has super tasty vegan pizzas and the restaurant is 100% vegan! It’s a small spot, so plan for takeaway. My favorite is the Fun Guy pizza. It has a lentil cream base and is topped with cashew mozzarella, fried brown mushrooms, and basil. I like to add fried capers to give it a little zing.

Pizza Letná

• Restaurant Type: Vegan Friendly (Not Vegan or Vegetarian)

Pizza Letná – a takeaway pizza place near Letná park. Perfect for picnics; just grab a pizza (there are four different size options) and plop down on a patch of grass in the park. If you’re near the beer garden you can get a glass or two of Pilsner to wash it all down.

Pizza Bertoldi

• Restaurant Type: Vegan Friendly (Not Vegan or Vegetarian)

Pizza Bertoldi is a pizza restaurant in Vinohrady offering four different vegan pizzas on their menu. In addition to vegan cheese, they also have vegan salami.

Vegan Prague – More Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurants in Prague

Here is a list of other vegan or vegetarian restaurants in Prague I haven’t had a chance to try, don’t like that much, or have only been to once.

• Radost FX – Food can be hit or miss.
• Lehká Hlava – Clear Head – Nice vegetarian restaurant with a few vegan options. Good atmosphere but a bit over rated in my opinion.
• My Raw Cafe – I’ve tried one of their vegan desserts and it was really good but haven’t tried the food.
• Maitrea – Nice vegetarian restaurant with a few vegan options. Good atmosphere but quite overrated in my opinion.
• RawCHA – Haven’t tried.
• Raw For You – Haven’t tried.
• Vegan’s Prague – Formerly LoVeg. Restaurant was better before changing owners. It’s very touristy and I don’t really recommend going there. My dish was overpriced and underwhelming.
