Vegan Prague | Best Restaurants, Food Tours, Hotels & More

Prague is a surprisingly easy city to visit as a vegan. Given that it’s a city of fewer than 1.5 million people, there are a plethora of high-quality vegan eateries, the likes of which could even rival places in Berlin – making it ideal, as there's always something new to find to eat.

Mama Coffee

café / serves meat / moderate

This is a small Czech café chain with a couple of locations in Prague. This one offers soy milk for hot drinks and has a vegan apple strudel as well as sometimes a couple of vegan muffins. For something a bit more filling, there’s a wonderfully fresh hummus plate served with warm pita bread.

As a bonus, it’s also super digital nomad friendly, with fast wifi and several power outlets. If you do decide to work there, you certainly won’t be alone, as it’s also a popular place for this among students and locals.

MyRaw Cafe

breakfast, lunch & dinner / raw vegan / expensive

Hidden away from the main street, this cute raw vegan restaurant serves up some delicious, unique and creative food. The tasting menu is a good option (and enough to share between two) to try out the full range of their food.

prague_myrawcafe_startersWe were particularly impressed by the Thai spice sticks, pea soup, raw pizzas and quiche. There’s also a good selection of interesting smoothies and a huge range of raw desserts to choose from. They also offer ‘cooking’ courses.

Forrest Bistro

vegan / breakfast, lunch & dinner / moderate

With a nice range of dishes from different culinary traditions around the world, this bright, modern place serves up satisfying and healthy meals.

Service is a little confusing, as it's not clear if you order at the bar or are served at your seat, but there are several nice touches that make eating here a pleasant and comfortable experience nonetheless, like free tap water and open wifi.

Donut Shop

vegan, vegetarian / breakfast & lunch / cheap

About as hipster as they come, this donut shop usually has at least two vegan donut flavours every day. Come early in the day to get the best choice and freshest donuts, ideally to take away as there's very limited seating here.

It makes for an ideal stopping off point while exploring the cool Žižkov area, and its proximity to the famous Žižkov Television Tower means there's more reason to come than just to see this feat of Brutalist architecture! The donuts themselves are pretty big and fluffy.

Country Life

vegan / breakfast & lunch / moderate

Offering an all vegan buffet where you load your plate and pay by weight, this place, attached to a vegetarian healthfood store is centrally located but tucked away in a calm backyard, making it perfect for escaping the crowds of the Old Town to eat lunch. The food is generally central European in style, but fully veganised, with a few Mediterranean and Asian-style dishes to boot. Desserts and drinks are sold separately, and there's also free tap water.

    What about Rawcha? In my opinion the best raw food restaurant in Prague: http://rawcha.cz/

    1. Sam Wood says:

      Unfortunately we didn’t have time to visit everywhere we wanted on this trip to Prague! We will definitely try out Rawcha next time we’re there. Our guides are always works in progress so we will definitely update this one when we have the chance. Thanks for commenting!

    The best vegan raw food in Prague!

  4. Alena says:

    Wow, that´s great 🙂 unfortunatelly, you missed two great places – restaurant Plevel (http://restauraceplevel.cz/) – I recommend the one in Krymská Street; and Maitrea right in heart of the city center (http://www.maitrea.cz/) – soooo next time 😉

    1. Sam Wood says:

      Thanks for your comment, Alena! Yes, we unfortunately didn’t have time to try out every place in Prague, but we will expand the guide when we return (which hopefully won’t be long!) I heard of Plevel, but I didn’t know Maitrea, so thanks very much for that recommendation!

    Hi Guys,

    you should also try thai box food for vegan thai street food.

    1. Sam Wood says:

      We’ll keep that in mind for our next visit to Prague. Thanks, Katcha!

  6. Michael says:

    Puro in Vinohradská street is also missing. https://www.facebook.com/puro.green

    1. Sam Wood says:

      I will try to check out Puro on my next visit to Prague, thanks, Michael! As I only had a limited time there two months ago and I only recommend places I was able to try myself, I couldn’t fit everything in this guide this time, but I do endeavour to expand my guides when I get the chance.

  7. Randi says:

    Love this guide and love Prague. There are sooo many options and this makes me look forward to going back and trying more very soon! <3

    1. Sam Wood says:

      I was really surprised how many options there are in Prague, given that it’s not a huge city. Veganism (and raw veganism in particular) seem to be quite popular at the moment there. It’ll be interesting to see how many new places have popped up by the next time I visit!
