Brilliant

By far the best vegan restaurant in Prague.
The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and the staff were very friendly and efficient. The only downside I could see would be that there was a bit of a wait between courses. It didn't bother us but might be an issue if you are limited with time.

Unlike some reviews suggest, there is a wide range of dishes for vegans compared to the Clear Head menu. They had one traditional style Czech starter that was suitable for vegans and two traditional mains to choose from. I tried the starter and one of the mains, both were delicious!
Being able to try local cuisine is always a big thumbs up for me.

Would recommend to anyone, vegan or not, visiting Prague just make sure you make a reservation! We were turned away the first night because it was so busy.

Pros: Excellent food, Good value, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Waiting time between courses

Very good stuff

Goulash, mushroom Bourguignon and tofograe were all outstanding.

Amazing!

This place is absolutely amazing! I came here for dinner with a couple people who are not veg*n and complained that they didn't want to go to an all vegetarian restaurant. The food here was just so well made and delicious that by the end they completely changed their tune and agreed that this was a great meal. We ordered the Tofuie Gras, Udon Noodles, Sweet Potato Curry, and Kra Pao (with no egg). Every single dish was a mouthwatering masterpiece! The service and vibes of the restaurant were also great.

Gorgeous food, friendly staff

All vegetarian, food was fantastic, could have done with a clear vegan menu laid out, rather than having to ask. But otherwise amazing

Pros: Price , Service , Location

Needs improvement

Unfortunately, we were not greeted in a friendly manner by the service and were put under pressure when ordering and eating. Profit is obviously the top priority here. The vegetarian and vegan dishes we had were OK, but not outstanding. Not seasoned enough and rather boring. Unfortunately, we were not convinced. There are some vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Prague that do this much better.

Pros: Selection

Cons: Service, Taste

Exceptionally flavourful food

I had the black beer goulash, which was extremely good. A bit more expensive compared to other local restaurants as it is in the old town of Prague, but that’s ok especially considering how beautiful the interior is.

Great food in a lovely atmosphere

My husband and I were here spontaneously for lunch and my vegan dish (Asian stir-fry and a dessert) was so delicious. My non-vegan husband was so much impressed that we booked another table for dinner. In the evening I had a vegan goulash (typical Czech but vegan)and my husband ordered another Asian stir-fry because he loved it so much ;). All dishes were simply delicious! An absolute recommendation!

Vegetarian restaurant with vegan options

We were looking for typical czech meals but without meat.
The atmosphere is interesting and quite cool. There is even a little pond in the cellar.
The menu has typical czech meals and also a selection of internal meals so everyone should find something.

There are vegan options but you might want to check the menu beforehand to see if it's what you want. I was quite sad that my favorite meal was just vegetarian.

I ordered the goulash and it was served with potatoes instead of dumplings (The dumplings could not be made vegan).
However the disappointment disappeared when I ate the meal because it was delicious though.

Yet still I think there could be more vegan options.

The staff was quite rushed so sometimes the waiter thought everything was fine and disappeared while I wasn't done with my order yet. I should have talked faster. They did not leave mid sentence. It was just a communication error probably due to stress.

Pros: Friendly staff, Delicious meals, Cool atmosphere

Cons: Small vegan selection , Vegan options might be a "compromise" , Staff was a bit rushed

Good food, multiple vegan options

since it‘s a vegetarian restaurant, I feel better eating there than at a restaurant that serves meat as well. We had the udon noodles and kimchi udon noodles. Portions were okay, since we weren’t that hungry. Staff was friendly, atmosphere is good.

Lieu sympa mais plats décevants.

Accueil chaleureux, service rapide mais plats assez déceptifs.
Pour le burger ce n’était pas vraiment rassasiant et assez sec (pain, quelques tranches de tomates, roquette, pesto, fromage de chèvre, chutney de mangue).
Pour la « Svickova » (faux « faux-filet », sauce au légume et quenelles tchèques) : peu ragoûtant, plutôt bon sans plus.
Assez cher pour ce que c’est.

Pros: Accueil, Service, Ambiance

Cons: Prix, Nourriture bonne sans plus

Vegetarian/vegan Czech food

Great vegetarian restaurant with many vegan options (although could be more) that offers traditional Czech food. The food was great and not too expensive. We didn’t need a reservation (Thursday evening)

A little disappointed

The atmosphere is nice. But we had to wait a lot for the burgers and when we asked the server how much longer do we have to wait he got a little upset.
They didn’t have vegan cheese alternatives. The food was okayish.
