Everything we ordered was delicious: * Tofuie Gras: smoked tofu paté with cranberry gel, served on toasted bread * Czech Traditional Svíčková: root vegetable sauce with Carlsbad dumplings, plant-based meat patty, lemon, and cranberry gel * Jackfruit Burrito: pulled jackfruit, smoked corn, chipotle rice, Cheddar, pickled cabbage, black beans, mango salsa, sour cream, and a side salad * Vegan Snickers: chocolate-caramel bar with raspberry sauce and peanuts I would consider becoming vegetarian if I can eat like this for every meal.

There's vegetarian magic in the air at the Lekha Hlava Clear Head Restaurant in Prague…read more We'll start with the very cool location. It is off a quiet side street down a clean and safe-feeling but still mysterious alley - like its location is a secret. Our reservation was for 6:30 pm and they asked if we thought we'd be done by 8:00 - probably so we wouldn't see the next party taking our table and they wouldn't see us. Let's keep the all the info secure - that's what's best for everyone. If the omnivores find out about this place, the fate of the whole known universe could be at risk. What if everyone wanted to eat at vegetarian restaurants? Crazy, right? VIPs like our family (ha!) sit in the Blue Heaven room where the tables are fire. Seriously- they light up and glow like flaming wood logs with a starry sky above. Even the greatest sorcerers from history would be impressed. Love the theming. Magical. We began our meal with the Small Clear Head starter, featuring "Tofuie Gras", hummus and guacamole. The hummus and guac were both excellent- but the star of the show was the fake foie gras. This is a vegetarian restaurant- no geese were harmed yet the texture was perfect, the taste convincing and the mix with the jelly divine. Wowsa. Loved this dish. I also really enjoyed my Bao Bun Burger. I was going to do the Spinach Chimney but diverted at the last minute because I'd overdosed on this trip on potatoes already, and au gratin was more than I could handle. My daughter liked her Stir-Fry Noodles. My wife was indifferent on her Parmesan Pleasure Burger but I think she was jealous of my Bao Bun. We skipped dessert. Beyond just the wonderful food, there was so much about this restaurant that felt fun, interesting and surprising. Including the bathroom. Behind the toilet there's an opening to a dark empty space - it is truly a creepy void. What's back there? There's also a very old door with a bone-chilling stair down to a dark cellar. What's down there? What about upstairs - what happens there? More mysteries. There's magic in the air at Lekha Hlava Clear Head Restaurant. It is worth a visit, for vegetarians and omnivores too.

After a less than stellar with a meat-alternative traditional Czech dish at another Prague…read morerestaurant, I didn't have high expectations for Maitrea. I decided I would try it anyway because it was in the area and had such good reviews, and I'm so glad I did! The transitional dish I opted for this time was the svíčková, some kind of soy meat cutlet topped with cranberry sauce, whipped cream, and some kind of creamy sauce covering the whole thing. Bread dumplings came with it, which were perfect for soaking up that creamy sauce. I'm not really sure how to describe what it tasted like as it was unlike anything I've ever eaten, but it was all flavorful, rich, and delicious! The whipped cream seemed especially random to me, but it was unsweetened so it wasn't actually too out of place. The meat alternative that was used was not too spongy, which often is the case with soy-based products. The ambiance is very cozy - I sat downstairs but it didn't feel like I was in a basement at all. No complaints about service either, and I appreciated that you could pay via the QR code at your table so I didn't have to worry about flagging a waitress down for the check. All in all a great experience and if I'm ever in Prague again, I will be back!

The ambiance has a very bohemian and soothing touch, you can see fountains and buddha statues all along. Maitrea is a complete vegetarian restaurant, serving local Czech delicacies. I tried the vegan Ghaloush and it was so so good. Typical Czech dishes are meat heavy so I am glad I got an opportunity to try something local and appreciate it. The dish had stewed veggies, a lot of spices and flavour and was served with horseradish dumplings and bread. Most of the tables around me had ordered Aperol Spritz, and I ordered the same, it was so good! Are you even on vacation if you don't drink Aperol/ Mai Tai?! Maitrea serves local delicacies as well as other vegetarian cuisines to fit everyone's palate. My vegetarian/ vegan friends, definitely give this place a try!

Seriously…read more The food is fresh, delicious, heavy, and provides traditional Czech options that have been vegetarianized - a great opportunity if you're interested in the local cuisine. The daily lunch menus are especially afforable and have never been anything short of excellent. Be aware that the menu changes constantly based on what is in season and what they are feeling passionate about. Which is a plus in my eyes. The place is very small, with limited seating. You may want to book in advance.

Was recommended this place by my Aunt! It has a very friendly atmosphere, and is perfect for…read morevegetarian tourists. The only thing is, it's a bit of a small restaurant so you either have to make a reservation or happen to show up at a time when there's a table available. I ordered the quesadillas and a Virgin Mojito made with green tea. The quesadillas were yummy! They came with a side of salsa that had the perfect (if not more) amount of kick, and some sour cream. In Europe, apparently quesadillas aren't finger food so I was trying to cut mine with the knife, and ended up struggling quite a bit. I think my knife wasn't sharp enough, but I didn't bother asking for a new one since I was already almost finished. So be wary of the blunt knives. The Virgin Mojito was very good! They used green tea instead of the rum, and my aunt said it still tasted like a regular Mojito because of the amount of lime and mint used. Plus, it came with a handy metal straw that wouldn't let all the mint and lime go up the straw when you took a sip. Perfect refreshing drink if you're not looking for something alcoholic!

SCAM ALERT:! They say they do not have change for your cash but then take the cash and ask you to…read morepay by credit card without returning your cash. Full story: We initially left a 5 star review as the food and service was good, however, after we left our review (we were asked to do it by the waiter in the restaurant before we paid) something odd happened. We tried to pay our 600 check with a 1000 bill. The waiter came back and said he could not break it. We said fine, we'll pay by credit card. We thought it odd that he ran off with the 1000 bill again, so we thought he was going to double check if he could break it. He returned without the 1000 bill and asked us for our credit card. We asked him for the 1000 bill. We would not give him the credit card without getting our 1000 bill back. He looked surprised and ran off again. He came back with the 1000 bill and so we then paid by credit card. We thought it odd but were sort of flustered as we were trying to leave. We even asked about leaving a tip and ended up doing it via a separate credit card charge. When we got back to the hotel we discussed what happened. When they could not break the bill why did he not immediately hand it to us and take our credit card to process right away? Why did he leave and return without the bill then ask us to pay by credit card? This entire scenario seemed intentional. We were obviously tourists and if they got away with it, it would be our word against theirs, and chances are they would never see us again. So if you eat here, the food is good, the service is good, but make sure you are not scammed out of your cash. Now I'm concerned about the charge and will be following up to make sure that wasn't tampered with as well.

It's a very worldly affair with many ethnic creations from all over the world. They note that their food creations have no borders. And it showcases in their menu. For dinner they have a tasting menu or a la carte option. We opted for the a la carte option. For appetizers we ordered fried spring rolls with mock Peking duck which consisted of seitan, hoisin sauce, cucumber, mint coulis, and light dressing. These rolls were excellent. For the main course I had cocoa ravioli with Gorgonzola, pears, walnuts, and beetroots. One of the most creative pastas I have ate and it was excellent. And Sam M had fried sushi with avocado, smoked carrots and other veggies. So good in taste as well. In drinks, they had creative lemonades and teas. I ordered the hibiscus elderberry iced tea.
