    Went here for dinner alone and they seated me at a lovely table by the window. I tried the quesadilla which was absolutely delicious and I could not believe it wasn't meat. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere lovely.

    I stumbled upon this place as I was looking for vegetarian/ vegan options and I'm so glad I found this place. 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!

    Ghoulash with Dumplings

    Such a delight to find an all vegetarian place with clearly marked Vegan, GF options. Tried the soy goulash and while I was nervous about how it looked, it was super tasty. The thai red curry was great as well. Friendly staff.

    Food 12/10. Amazing vegetarian restaurant, but a bit on the pricey side. I got the fresh veggie salad and the pumpkin curry...both were phenomenal! Highly recommend. Beautiful interior, the downstairs is very intimate, I loved it!

    As I am not a vegetarian or vegan, I would say that this restaurant is rather decent borderline food. I came to this restaurant with a colleague that is vegetarian and ordered the Tex Mex quesadilla. The quesadilla itself was good as well as the guacamole. The rice, however, was very bland and dry. My colleague ordered the salad and the Sweet Potato Curry. While I did not try it, she stated she enjoyed it. The ambience is quiet and nice. As far as service goes, the man who assisted us was quite nice and helpful.

    Vegan goulash with potatoes
    Reginice C.

    This restaurant has a few vegan options. Well, this was my first time having goulash and it was sooo delicious! The flavors, the paprika, the texture of the vegan meat, all on point! I considered going back to have it again, but I opted not too because I had a few vegan spots to visit on my stay. I didn't enjoy the taste of the raw chocolate avocado mousse; didn't finish it. If I am ever to visit Prague again; this will be my first stop for a meal.

    My favorite place in Prague, this place is a MUST! Beautiful design, atmosphere and the friendliest staff. The Jasmine tea was the best I've ever had, and the truffle risotto was out of this world. Everything is vegetarian and vegan, and the prices are beyond reasonable. *make a reservation* 100% recommend!

    The papaya salad variant, the pea soup, and the "goat dumplings"
    Hollwyood C.

    Very bohemian and different from your typical restaurant in Prague. The main purpose of the place is to provide vegetarian or vegan options in a city that usually has a meat and potato type feel to it, think (goulash) etc. I'm not necessarily a vegan although trying to make an attempt to eat more plant based based on the group I'm with. Per Helena, who was our server, the menu does get changed every couple of months. Some of the previous Yelp comments of delicious Risotto, are no longer offered. The items ordered were the goat dumplings, a variant of papaya salad, and two different quesadilla. They did have a vegan goulash and a vegan paella option, but I'm so used to those items being traditionally with either beef or a seafood medley that we didn't bother with trying! (Lame) I know! The papaya salad and pea soup were delish and hit the spot. Not sure what was going on with the "goat dumpling" but it didn't resemble a traditional goat cheese dumpling at all. I usually like dumplings, and I usually like goat dumplings but this wasn't a hit. The quesadilla were a hit since they are such a comfort food. It was a 50 50 split with the group, some loved the spinach varieties and some loved the non spinach one. Overall lot of different main stream foods are offered as a vegan or vegetarian option. The decor of the place is very bohemian, Buddha statues, it gives a tropical, Bali type vibe. You do need a reservation ahead of time, so make sure you call at least several hours ahead of time. They seem to be strict about the 15 minute tardiness policy, so don't be surprised if they might give your table away. For drinks, the mint lemonade would hit the spot!

    Vegan stir fry with seitan. A bit sweet and fantastic.
    Mark C.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Prague. Great vegetarian food, including versions of traditional Czech dishes. I went three times during our week-long visit and enjoyed the stir fry, especially. Excellent service.

    Vegan pea cream soup
    Matt B.

    Located on a quiet street within the Old Town, this is a fancier sit-down vegetarian restaurant with plenty of vegan (and veganizable) options that are clearly marked on the menu (available in English). I ordered their vegan pea cream soup (95 Ck) to start and their bulgur risotti (255 Ck) which can be made vegan. Both were impeccably done. The pea soup was richly flavoured, with a drizzle of olive oil on top and a nicely seasoned pea character. This was the best of the pea soups I tried on this trip. 5/5 The risotto was simply sublime. The "nomeat" texture was really interesting and fit perfectly in this dish -- almost like a mix of artichoke and firm thinly sliced tofu. Wonderfully seasoned and a pretty damn large portion. Wonderful dish. 5/5 Service was friendly and fast. Quite simply, this was one of the best meals I had on this week-long trip to Czech. Highly recommended.

    If you ever find yourself in Prague and are either a vegetarian or vegan, Maitrea may be a choice resauraunt for you. I definitely am an omnivore but enjoyed this lighter fare. Seated downstairs, we relaxed and ordered two entrees and a salad. The Spinach Quesadilla tasted amazing and was warm and had a plate of sides (guacamole, salsa, sour cream) to compliment the item. Oddly the quesadilla was rolled like a wrap and wasn't in a typical flat quesadilla form but that didn't stop us from enjoying the hot food. I ravished eating some greens in the Goat Cheese Salad but thought the item didn't have a complementary flavor profile. While I enjoy olives, green grapes, walnuts and goat cheese I didn't think all of these ingredients were cohesive. In my opinion this restaurant is preferable to Clear Head, another vegetarian restaurant by the same owner, as the menu selection and ambience is superior.

    Me and the gang + nachos
    Jordan T.

    This restaurant has some of the tastiest food I've ever had. Prague isn't the most vegetarian friendly place but this restaurant is absolutely amazing and I miss it so much. The BBQ jackfruit nachos were the best nachos I've ever had. I stayed for 10 days and ate/ordered from here 4 times. The restaurant has a very cool and friendly vibe and the waitstaff were nice. Definitely try and get a reservation, especially on the weekend.

    Healty poké bowl with chickpeas, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, edamame with dressing and jasmine rice
    Dana E.

    My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Maitrea. Despite having no reservation and with a full restaurant (staff cautioned us the food would take a while to come) We were immediately offered a table and appetizers and drinks came quickly. My husband who is not vegetarian enjoyed the Kra Pao of minced no-meat with chilli, egg, garlic, bamboo shoots with jasmine rice; I had the "healthy poke bowl with sweet potatoes, avocado, chickpeas, edamame,cabbage and pickled onions. Everything delicious and the service was perfect. The design of the restaurant with natural elements such as a beautifully curved wood bench and light fixtures that look like squash blossoms, added a natural and artistic feel to the ambience. Recommend!

The room that I…read morewas in had glowing tables, the ceiling painted to look like a starry sky with glowing stars, and a "window" playing a video view of the river. Other rooms had more of a forest theme. Evidently this is a popular place. I didn't make a reservation, but they told me I could have a table for 1h15 which was plenty of time since the service was timely. I had the grilled broccoli with Jerusalem artichoke puree for my entree and the "snickers" bar for dessert. The broccoli dish was simple but tasty and surprisingly filling for a plate of nothing besides cooked vegetables. The broccoli and carrot were cooked perfectly with crispy caramelized edges and the artichoke puree was delicious. I wouldn't really recommend this dish for anyone skeptical about vegetarian/vegan food, but it's great if you love vegetables, and there are other dishes on the menu that will appeal to those who want something more substantial. I initially didn't plan on dessert but was glad I decided to get something because the snickers bar was delightful. I also had a beetroot lemonade that I enjoyed. It's a little expensive, but I felt like I got what you paid for both in the quality of the food and overall experience.

Of all the different items, my favorites included the samosa, spring roll, peanut sauce, and the vegetable/lentil stew.

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!
