Looking for the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Prague? Years ago, when I was sitting in the classrooms of a grammar school in the city’s Lesser Town and waiting for the bell to ring with my stomach rumbling, being vegetarian in central Prague meant a daily fight for survival<\/strong>. Back then, the gastronomic reality boiled down to fried cheese with tartar sauce in a smoke-filled pub, or overcooked broccoli that the cooks, for some mysterious reason, would smother in mild cheese. The city centre smelled of goulash and roasted pork knuckles, while those of us who didn’t eat meat had to rely on plain cheese rolls from the nearest corner shop. Today, when I wind my way through those same little streets, I feel like I’ve stepped into a parallel universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my studies at Charles University, things slowly began to shift. With a camera around my neck during a photojournalism course, I documented not only the bustle of the streets and the protests, but also the quiet birth of the first alternative bistros<\/strong>. Prague took a deep breath, and the whole plant-based scene took one with it. The old, dark taprooms started giving way to bright spaces where fermented vegetables, tempeh and local ingredients replaced lard. A city that was once a necessary evil for vegetarians turned into a confident European capital that can hold its own against Berlin when it comes to plant-based dining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I update this article every year, and you’re reading its current version in April 2026<\/strong>. My husband Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I \u2014 we had our first date in Prague \u2014 come back here regularly. In recent months, our two-year-old son Jon\u00e1\u0161 has been discovering the city with us too, which has pushed my perception of Prague’s restaurants to a whole new level. Suddenly I’m not just looking for perfectly seasoned vegan food, but also places you can manoeuvre into with a pram<\/strong> and where the staff don’t roll their eyes when a toddler drops a spoon on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection in front of you isn’t just a list mechanically copied off the internet. These are places where, over my ten years living in Prague, I’ve poured a lot of time and money. From cult institutions tucked away in Renaissance cellars to modern bistros in the Karl\u00edn district<\/strong>, where Prague students go for Sunday brunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But enough nostalgia. Here are the places we actually go to now, the ones we’ll send you to without hesitation. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n
