Laibon - We really enjoyed the food here. It's superb! And we're welcomed by the super friendly owner. - Vegetarian Near Me - Cesky Krumlov, JC

Love love love this restaurant. Right by the river and a delicious variety of food. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good experience. Staff was very friendly. Is vegetarian only. While I'm not a vegetarian, it was tasty anyway.

As a vegetarian, it was lovely to find a place with so many options. Food was delicious and it sits right on the river with a view of the castle. Dined here two nights in a row and could not be more pleased with our service. David could not be more cheerful and charming, gave us a hug as we left! read more

Laibon - Vegetable soup, lentils soup and hot corn nachos - Vegetarian Near Me - Cesky Krumlov, JC

Nice to have a vegetarian restaurant in town. Vegetarian or vegan is not a big thing in Cz so finding one is good. The food here is ok but nothing special. Service is lovely and the location is amazing with seating next to the river and magnificent views of the castle tower. Good variety of choices but I wish they would use less salad leaves on each and every dish, it's unnecessary and takes away from the flavour of the food. I had nachos which was nice but lacked toppings for the bowl. My main was sliced tofu, seitan and vegetables and it was nice but nothing special. Aperol spritz lacked spritz. Overall a lovely experience. May repeat it again sometime. read more

Arrived in Český Krumlov from Prague for a Christmas break towards the end of a 30-day state of emergency due to COVID-19. I had remembered visiting Laibon when I first came here over twenty years ago and was so pleased to see it was still open. My partner and I popped our heads in around 3pm and received an effusive welcome from David, the owner. When asked if we would need to book for a 7pm slot, he suggested that we could arrive around 6pm, as most places were still having to close early due to the curfew. When we arrived, we had the pick of tables and David was an impeccable host. I had a Bernard světlé (light) beer and my partner had a Coke Zero, and we began our meals with hummus and baba ganoush, salad and flatbreads for starters. Delicious! Between courses, and with another small group having arrived, David chatted to us about what had been happening in the Czech Republic and in Krumlov during the pandemic, while we filled him in on the news from England. For our mains, we had the pakori and the quesadillas, which were also beautifully prepared and incredibly tasty. More beer and coke, before we finished with buckwheat pancakes, cranberries, apple, cinnamon and cream (to share). So good that, even as carnivores, we're considering skipping meat for Christmas Day and just returning here. Highly recommended! read more

Good restaurant with a nice patio (by the river) with a Great view. I came in a little late and they were kind enough to serve me. The manager, who served me (I assume he was), was nice and friendly, and did not even try to 'push' me to buy wine or dessert or upswell me to anything (like they do in other places sometimes), which I appreciated (I was backpacking, one could perhaps tell, and on a backpacker's budget). I had a wonderful vegetarian dish, which was a platter of five of their vegetarian dishes on their menu, and it was quite good. Good service, great view and atmosphere, didn't break the bank. Recommend! P.S.: they should probably have some candles or electric/fake candles for the patio tables, though. read more

Great place for lunch on a beautiful day with friends and wine, while overlooking the river. David was friendly and helpful - giving us tips on where to go to sign up for a river tour - and the vegan food was delightful. I really enjoyed it! highly recommended. read more

If you heard someone say they didn't like Tina Fey, do you think you'd ever be able to trust them again? Correct answer: Hell-to-the-naw. And that's exactly how I feel about anyone who would dare say they don't absolutely LOVE Laibon. It's so good. Like, Tina Fey good. Like, we were only in Cesky Krumlov for 2 days and we came here to eat 4 times. FOUR TIMES. I was going to look up fancier words for 'delightful' in the thesaurus to describe our experience(s), but then I thought (the thought I almost always come to), 'f*ck it!'. I'll just tell the reader the effort I was planning on putting into my descriptive and that'll be a measure in and of itself. Did it work? I can't hear you. I'll assume it worked. ... and that you think I look thin today. Thank you. So anyway. This place. It's outstanding... as is the entire town of Český Krumlov, which I think may have been my most favorite destination of our entire trip which included Prague, Munich, Dusseldorf, Cologne, and Brussels. If you're anywhere near the region of Bohemia, do yourself the favor and book some time in Český Krumlov and bookmark this listing to be sure you don't pass up this gem. The menu is strictly vegetarian but even our Eastern European, meat-eating, dining companions couldn't put their forks down and were highly suggestive about coming back for the lion's share of our meals while staying in the city. They have a cozy and beautiful outdoor patio on the river but we sat in side as it was late November and balls cold outside. Inside is like a rustic, subterranean, Earthy cave-dwelling with dining areas set apart so that event when the restaurant is full, you feel like you're in a private dining type scenario. Our server the first night was this magical man named David. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and the fittest soccer body you have ever scene. Calves for days. He's bubbly and giggly and either a very manly Muppet or a Muppet of a man. I'll let you decide. David is also a first-class world traveler and possibly one of the most interesting people we'd ever met in our entire lives. He was more-than-well-versed in all things Southeast Asia and spoke about 10 billion languages. If you needed something--anything. Even things beyond the scope of what a regular restaurant would offer, David's got a guy. He really made the experience our first night out and for the rest of the trip our conversations were peppered with mentions of a very memorable David. The food is very much inspired by India and Pakistan and while there are tons of options on the menu, I highly recommend their sharing platter. You get to pick eight (I think) different options off the menu and it serves 3-4. We got a different platter every time and there wasn't a single thing that we didn't find lick-worthy. They serve a variety of fresh juices and teas as well. I ordered up one tea our first night in as my dinner, as I'd been poisoned earlier in the day by a restaurant in another town and spent a good part of the rest of the day barfing up my inner organs and felt that tea would be a good way to ease back into digesting things. Fresh ginger tea to be exact. The tea is made by friend of David's and was absolutely the best tea I've ever had, ever. Each person at my table tried it and was also blown away. I drank two pots of that tea myself and and felt like I'd gone through a full body detox but without any of the nasty stuff that normally goes along with a full body detox. A hefty meal that left all 4 of us stuffed to the brim with drinks ran us around 65 total, I think. That included 2 appetizers, drinks for all and a giant shared platter that we could barely finish, but you could easily stuff yourself here for under $8. Laibon for life! read more

My accommodation recommended this restaurant located along the river in Cesky Krumlov. It was a beautiful spot to enjoy lunch with views of the town along the river and the candy-colored tiered tower. We ended up lingering after a long lunch as it was so enjoyable to just relax beside the river. The restaurant offers an extensive and interesting menu of vegetarian fare. A friend and I were having a difficult time choosing and we decided to share a "labyrinth of tastes", a selection of several of their dishes. I'm glad we did as it offered a good selection with a variety of items and spices. A couple had a higher spice level, but were not overly hot. Everything we tried was excellent, fresh and flavorful. Meat was not missed. We also tried the ginger lemonade. It was quite strong and neither of us were fans. This was the only disappointment in the menu however. The owner came and talked to us after we finished. He was friendly, interesting to talk to and seemed to genuinely enjoy meeting his guests from other countries. We both liked that he took the time to have a conversation with us. read more

Good food though a bit cold. They don't accept cards that is not acceptable with their price tag. read more

We were in look for Indian cuisine in the pristine town of Cesky, ended up going to this lovers restaurant. The restaurant has a unique cave like entrance, with a beautiful patio-side view. The food was good (a little milder for being an Indian cuisine). The kheer was amazing! Must try! read more

Let's be honest, the food I Eastern Europe can get a little meat centric at times, and there is only so long you can go eating pork and potatoes before you begin to crave a different form of sustenance. Luckily, laibon is there for you in this moment of need with a varied menu of herbivorous treats from a range of cuisines with a focus on Mexican and Indian. I had the burrito which was out of this world with some chilli, guacamole and more black beans than you can poke a stick at. I also tried the pakora, the guacamole and the goats cheese with cranberry, none of which gave me any reasons to complain. Vegetarian or not, if you ever find yourself in cesky krumlov you should get to laibon for some seriously good chow. read more

We really enjoyed the vegan combo platter, chili, red lentil soup, and ginger tea. Everything was perfectly seasoned and portioned. Plus, the owner of the restaurant is about as charming as they come... a really sweet and engaging guy. :) read more

For those seeking vegetarian food this is a great stop along the river banks. The dhal and the hummus dishes were quite flavorful. They pair well with a Hefeweizen or red wine. Lemonade (house made) also looked good. read more

First off, come here for the view. The food is scrumptious and the owners are very warm and friendly. We ordered the soup of the day - it honestly reminded me of home. The Dhal and Sabzi were top notch with fresh ingredients. The Dhal is Gujrati style, hence sweet, but the Sabzi was perfect level of spice for us. They gave us a spicy sauce to top it off. Over all, fab! They have a menu even for no onion/no garlic meals!! read more

Laibon - Vegetarian Near Me - Cesky Krumlov, JC

I don't trust this place. Yelp says it accepts credit card, but manager or some guy comes around and says no. Then he doesn't give us a receipt, just asks what we ordered and punches it in to a machine, without showing us, and charges us a pretty obscene amount. No receipt, no transparency. The food was tasteless but the server was sweet. Such a tourist trap. Avoid! read more

4 of us ate here & were super excited to see vegetarian. It smelled fantastic! The reviews were great but our food experience did not match the reviews. The red curry was served cold to two of us. The potato pancake had little flavor, & we just ate the inside filling out of it. It was like a thick crepe. The pesto pasta looked fantastic but tasted bland. Our male server was Awesome! Very kind and attentive. He was very accommodating & suggested options that allowed us to try a lot of different things. The beer tap/lines had frozen so no draft beer.. Bummer. The guac was good. We all agreed we wouldn't necessarily return. They open at 11 read more

This is an amazing place for a vegetarian lunch in beautiful Cesky Krumlov. Laibon was an oasis to get an amazing lunch and wait out the rain when we arrived. David guided us through the dimly lit restaurant to a quiet back room. Two of us got the Labrinyth of Tastes (highly recommended) and one got Dal. We stayed for delicious tea and Blueberry dumplings afterwards. David, the owner and waiter, was eccentric, funny, and speaks many languages. Enjoy! read more

Wonderful place with an incredible food and better attention. I recommend this place 150%! The owner talks several languages and he treated us incredibly good. Can't wait to come back!!! Ps: the blueberry dumplings for dessert are yummmyyyy!!!! read more

Lovely place with soooo many AMAAAZING gluten free options! A great crepe for dessert with bananas and a raspberry filling with whipped cream! You'll love the adorable server as well. Thank you!!! read more

This is a great vegetarian restaurant. The menu is comprehensive and has lots of fun and delicious options. Even if you are not a vegetarian you will probably love it! The location could not be better, right at the center of town and with a lovely river view! The staff is super friendly making the experience just perfect! read more

Prepare to get lost in a labyrinth of tastes! Order this dish or any of their other vegetarian wonders to get a full sampling of food from all over the world. Your tastebuds will explode. Then finish with the piping hot blueberry dumplings covered in cream. David and Mark treated us all like family. They are adorable, well-traveled and speak dozens of languages! It's rare to find such happy hospitable hosts in one of the busiest restaurants in town! Hands down my favorite place to eat in Cesky Krumlov. Would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Very nice location! Beautiful variety of flavorful dishes. The owner is very friendly and pleasant!! You will definitely find something you like here... even if you aren't a vegetarian. Very happy to find such a nice veggie restaurant! read more

Nice little spot on the river, plenty of outdoor picnic benches in the back. Mostly Indian food with a couple random Mexican dishes and a small beer selection. Was nice to relax outside of the tourist trap for a while. read more

As vegans we were thrilled to find this restaurant in a small Czech town! Although it was too cold to sit outside, their patio seating right on the water looked amazing. The food was hearty and tasty and the tofu steaks were pure perfection. Seriously, we don't think we've ever had tofu prepared as well--breaded, skillet fried, well seasoned and delish. Our server was incredibly friendly and funny. Overall great experience! read more

A must-visit in CK, especially for vegetarians/vegans. The food is very flavorful, the view outside is incredible (along the river with the castle in the background), and owner is hilarious/lovely! This was an absolutely highlight on my 3 week solo trip! read more

OOOOHHH SHITTT .....was our reaction when we received our food at Laibon. We had an awesome experience at this restaurant. The food was incredible (we got the labyrinth of tastes that can be served to 1-4 people aka a giant plate of all their specialties), we got to sit alongside the river at dusk, and side note, our waiter was really really cute and I checked, he's not married. YASSSSS WE LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

So lovely! And so great to get some veggies in such a meat heavy region. Order something more Indian style.
