Vegan Prague Local’s Guide 2023 – 22 Best Vegan Restaurants in Prague (and VF)

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 the fact that Czech cuisine is all about stewed meats, dumplings, and heavy sauces vegan and vegetarian restaurants have been popping up all over Prague.

A whopping 50+ of them are vegan! Plus, nearly every month it seems like a new vegan restaurant opens.

How did this happen, you might ask?

​Apparently the vegan food scene explosion in Prague is organic. According to one vegan restaurant owner I spoke to, Czechs have started to change their thinking about food and health and are very curious. They are happy to try vegan food even if traditional thinking is, if you don’t have meat in your food then you don’t have food.

There has also been an influx of health food stores in recent years, and since Czech’s are embracing international nutrition trends there is more of a market for vegan products and cuisine in Prague and beyond.

Thanks to the curious nature of Czechs great vegan food in Prague is abundant, and I’ve done my best to sample as much of it as possible.

I recently started a Youtube Series to showcase some of my favorite vegan finds around Prague. Below is the first video. Here is the full playlist.

Palo Verde – Vegan Restaurant

• Restaurant Type: Totally vegan
• What to Try: Waffles, Spanish Croquettes, Lasagna

Palo Verde is an all vegan restaurant and cafe that specializes in homemade pasta dishes and desserts. Additionally, they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

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.

Dinner options include fresh pasta dishes like Beyond Beef ravioli, and bolognese lasagna. 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 vegan croissants (possibly the only in Prague), cakes, cronuts, and more. They also offer premium quality coffee and tea.

One other thing to note, Palo Verde is located inside the Salvator Boutique Hotel. So, if you’re visiting Prague and prefer to start the day with a conveniently located vegan breakfast, it’s the perfect place to lay your head.

Moment Kavarna & Bistro – A Favorite Vegan Restaurant in Prague

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to Try: The Vegan Svíčková.

Moment Vegan Bistro and Cafe has been around for years. It’s one of the most popular and well-known vegan restaurants in town.

In the last six years it has changed ownership twice. Most recently, the good folks at Palo Verde (above) took over, growing their vegan ’empire’.

The restaurant has been totally revamped and redecorated. Now, Moment is bright and boldly decorated. Walls adorned with loudly colored Czech posters. The high ceiling decorated with zigzag shaped black beams, boldly calling attention to it, against the white palette.

The bar, which as been there since day one, is now more open and airy. It’s outfitted with a bold copper beer tap and impressively large espresso station.

A few things remain from the previous Moment. The now brightly painted yellow swing outside and the wobbly indoor tables decorated with carved birds and cute sayings in Czech.

The menu, which is totally different, is more Czech-centric. From the local Muflon beer and Kofola soda, to the myriad Czech veganized dishes. There is no mistaking what country you’re in when looking it over.

Even so, it’s not totally Czech. There is a Central Europe meets West vibe with the loaded fries, nachos, vegan pate, and fried Mozzarella Sticks.

Embracing the new Moment, I opted to try the vegan Svíčková on my first visit back. In case you don’t know what that is (don’t worry, you’re not alone), Svíčková is the most traditional Czech dish that you’ll see on the menu at any pub or Czech restaurant in the country.

It’s traditionally absolutely not vegan. The centerpiece being a slice of sirloin. Topped with a creamy veggie sauce, cream, and a cranberry jam…yes you read that right. All this comes with Czech dumplings. Not to be mistaken with Asian dumplings. Czech dumplings are closer to bread and perfect for sopping up all that creamy sauce.

I’ve had this dish (veganized of course) in a few other restaurants around town. This one is up there. The seitan sirloin is excellent. The creamy sauce has a very strong carrot flavor, and the dumplings are tender and tasty.

Overall, a delicious lunch, and perfect if you are very very hungry, hungover, or chilled to the bone by our cold and damp winter weather. This is definitely not for the raw or whole food vegans out there.

So, if you’re looking for Czech vibes and veganized traditional dishes, head to Moment!

Pastva – Vegan Restaurant

• 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.

Shromaždiště – Vegan Pub in Prague

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to Try: The fish(less) spread is incredible, but then again everything I’ve had on the menu is great!

Shromaždiště (which means assembly place or meeting point) is a vegan Czech pub in Žižkov with nicely priced beer and food.

This traditionally decorated pub is a few steps below ground and has a cozy atmosphere, and super friendly and welcoming staff. They offer Czech beer on tap, including pilsen and pale ale, and bottled gluten free beer. They also have wine, liquor, and soft drinks.

Shromaždiště has a fantastic pub grub menu with options like soup, fish(less) spread, beer battered hot dogs, soy curls with Czech dumplings, pickled sausages, and crunchy zucchini fries. Everything I’ve had so far has been delicious!

Note: Keep an eye on their Facebook page for special events and discount days, like “Thirsty Thursdays”.

Belzepub – Vegan Burgers in Prague

• 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!

Forky’s – Vegan Fast Food in Prague

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to Try: The Vegan Cheeseburger and Fries!

A new vegan burger just rolled into town! Brno native, Forky’s, has two locations in Prague. One, mere steps away from the Staroměstská metro station and Old Town Square, and the other in Holešovice near Letná Park.

The spicy vegan cheeseburger at Forky’s is my favorite menu item. In fact, it’s so good I haven’t dared to try anything else on the menu. However, I’ve been told the kebab wrap is legit too!

The burger is incredibly messy and sinfully delicious. Slathered with a sauce of your choosing – spicy mayo for me – and topped with pickles, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce it’s enough to satisfy a 300 lb man. Add thick cut steak fries to that and you won’t really need another meal for at least 24 hours.

Forky’s also has vegan hot dogs, buddha bowls, kebabs, and other items on the menu. I can’t wait to try them all!

Sociální bistro Střecha – Vegan Restaurant Helping the Homeless

• 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, recently relocated to Havelská 508/9 in Old Town, is a vegan Vietnamese restaurant, cafe, and grocery store.

It’s the perfect spot to grab a hearty and filling lunch after hitting Old Town Square. The large 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).

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.

Mooi

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to try: Kebab and Belgian fries

Mooi is a vegan kebab and Belgian fry restaurant in the Dům Černá Labuť (House of the Black Swan) building near náměstí Republiky. The building also houses a Loving Hut, World Vegan, bubble tea stand, and tropical fruit bar.

Mooi, which was started in Brno, has arrived in Prague. The small but mighty restaurant dishes out thick cut fries with a various sauce pairing options, as well as absolutely delicious kebab wraps, stuffed pitas, and salads.

When I visited I had the “Tortila AKROPOLIS” which includes a vegan kebab meat shaved straight off the grill, tzatziki, veggie sauce, veggies, pickled garlic, and sprouts. It was magnificent. Incredibly flavorful, filling, and something I haven’t really had anywhere else in Prague.

I recommend visiting Mooi after a shopping trip to World Vegan, before catching a bus from the nearby Florence train station, or any time a craving for vegan kebab hits!

Lifehouse Bistro

• Restaurant Type: Totally Vegan
• What to try: Anything with their homemade vegan feta

Lifehouse Bistro is a new discovery for me, and boy is it a great one. This all vegan spot near Old Town and Wenceslas Square serves absolutely delicious healthy vegan food.

The menu is simple. Salads, soups, open faced sandwiches, and desserts. Some items are raw and everything is totally vegan, especially their absolutely fantastic homemade vegan feta cheese!

They even have raw vegan ice cream made with cashews, bananas, cocoa, vanilla and agave nectar! Yum.

Loving Hut – Cafeteria Style Vegan Restaurant

• 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 – Vegan Cafeteria Style Restaurant

• 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 – Vegan Fast Food

• 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.

Electric Sheep Book Bar

If you’re looking for a cozy way to end the night, check out The Electric Sheep Book Bar.

This all vegan cocktail bar and English book store serves delicious, classic cocktails, specialty cocktails, and vegan snacks.

The cocktail list is looong. It includes classics like the Sazerac, Old Fashioned, Dark and Stormy, and more. They also have speciality drinks crafted in-house, including a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. If you want to know what that is, you’re going to have to go find out for yourself.

The menu changes regularly, but you can expect hearty bar snacks and sweets.

Be sure to also take a look at the wall of books while you’re there! They have new and used English books from all genres.

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 – Vegetarian Restaurant

• 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 – Cafeteria Style Vegetarian Restaurant

• 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 – Vegan Falafel & Shawarma

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

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

Mr. Hotdog – Vegan Hot Dogs

• Restaurant Type: Vegan Friendly (Not Vegan or Vegetarian)
• What to Try: The vegan hot dog of course!

A hipster favorite, Mr. Hotdog is a local hot dog joint in the Letna neighborhood of Prague. This casual little restaurant serves a wide variety of hot dogs, sliders, fries, Vinohradský pivovar beer, and cocktails.

While almost all of the menu is suited for a meat-eating crowd, Mr. Hot dog now has a veggie option…which can be made vegan. The soy dog comes Chicago style with pickles, onions, relish, tomato, mustard, and banana peppers on a poppy seed bun.

If you’re looking for one of the best vegan hot dogs in Prague, this is an awesome option. Oh, and I didn’t even mention the fries. They’re heavenly and come in a massive portion that’s enough to share with a friend.

Tip: If you plan to go at peak hours, make a reservation in advance.

Arepas de Lyna – Vegan Arepas and Empanadas

• 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 isn’t great in Prague in general. So scoring a vegan pizza is no easy feat. But, there are a few places I recommend.

Chutnej

Chutnej (see above) also has tasty vegan pizzas and the restaurant is 100% vegan!

• Restaurant Type: 100% Vegan

Pizza Letná

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.

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

Pizza Bertoldi

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

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

Le Pizze di Frankie

Le Pizze di Frankie has one vegan pizza on the menu, the Marinara, and it might not sound all that enticing to you. However, their pizzas are the closest to actual Neapolitan pizza (best pizza in the world, hands down) than any I’ve had outside of Naples.

The Marinara is a traditionally basic pizza that is crust topped with marinara sauce and garlic. Theirs is delicious, albeit simple.

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

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.
