Vegetarian restaurants in Prague

  1. A

    Country Life

    Prague’s first-ever health-food shop opened in 1991, and is an all-vegan cafeteria and sandwich bar offering inexpensive salads, sandwiches, pizzas, vegetarian goulash, sunflower-seed burgers and soy drinks. There is plenty of seating in the rear courtyard but it can still get crowded at lunchtime, so go early or buy sandwiches to go.

    Café FX

    Café FX offers some of the best food in Prague in its price range – and it’s all vegetarian. This hippy-chic restaurant at the entrance to the nightclub Radost FX – looking like a faded bordello with its draped chiffon, tasselled lampshades and distressed walls – comes up with imaginative dishes ranging from spinach ravioli stuffed with hazelnut pesto and cheese to sage and mushroom ‘meatballs’ with mashed potatoes and creamy mushroom sauce.

    Lehká Hlava

    Tucked away down a narrow cul-de-sac, Lehká Hlava (the name means ‘clear head’) exists in a little world of its own.

    There’s not much in the way of atmosphere here at Veg Food, one of the few purely vegetarian and vegan restaurants in the area. It has a simple coffee shop feel, with a scattering of plastic tables and metal chairs. But the menu holds some pleasant surprises, including lots of ‘meat’ dishes using tofu, such as vegetarian schnitzel and vegetarian chicken, plus plenty of Asian-inspired entrees. Nonsmoking throughout, it also offers a daily two-course lunch menu for 98Kč.

    Akropolis Café-Restaurant

    A Žižkov institution, this eccentric cafe features quirky light fittings and the work of local artist František Skála. The menu has a good selection of vegetarian dishes, from nachos to gnocchi, plus great garlic soup, searingly hot buffalo wings and steak tartare. Kids are welcome - you'll find toys and colouring books (though it can get a bit smoky).

    Country Life

    Country Life is a cafeteria-style health-food restaurant with all-vegan food and buffet service – load up your plate, and pay by weight (that’s right! You weigh in at the till). There are only four tables at this branch, which caters mainly to the takeaway trade.
