I'm a carnivore and after seeing so many great looking meaty spots around I was kinda bummed when my group wanted to come here; BUT THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD. Tried a bit of everything and it was all awesome, fear not meat-eaters this place was great. read more

Pretty restaurant in a great location, but not so special for vegetarian food. The guacamole we ordered as a starter was tiny and the size of a personal side, and both orders my brother and I got were very oily and over sweetened in my opinion. I got the tamarind stir fry and my brother got the Thai eggplant curry, neither of which I was expecting to be sweet. I didn't even bother taking pictures because the presentation of the food didn't look that great. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Prices were reasonable, we ended at 600 crown which is around 30$ for the two of us. Maybe I'm spoiled with the vegetarian restaurants in the US, but I personally wouldn't come back, even though prices are decent. Maybe I chose the wrong menu items.. read more

Excellent place, great design and ambiance. Not a vegetarian here, but thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we had at lunch. Would definitely return and bring my veg friends with me. read more

Fantastic food. Even my none vegetarian friends fall in love with this place. Get the shared starter...the mushroom pate alone is with the trip. While they are a bit backwards in how they book tables (a table booked at 8:30 often means it's not available for a walk-in at 6:30...what?!?) but their disorganization is still worth tolerating for the food. Too many fantastic items to mention....but if you go to Prague and don't visit, you have missed a great opportunity for beautifully prepared food food! read more

Location was really good, and the decoration inside was beautiful. We ordered the halloumi burger and the saffron risotto, and we had to wait for 45 minutes. The waitress only informed us once that the food was delayed, yet somehow all the other customers that came after us got their food first. The presentation of the food was nice, but it seemed like it only concealed the blandness of the food. Basically the only good thing was the beer. read more

A delightful vegan spot with a lovely calming atmosphere, good wine choices, and great food. We showed up without a reservation and got the last table of the night, so its probably best to make one. We were seated downstairs. It's fantastic that everything vegan is marked, and they also offer an English menu if your Czech isn't fluent. I had the peanut udon noodles and they were delicious, cooked perfectly with fresh veggies and a rich sauce. The vegan raw apple strudel was also fantastic! A wonderful addition to our stay in Prague. read more

We discovered Maitrea through Clear Head, its sister restaurant (and possibly its matriarch). We originally went to Maitrea for lunch but returned a second time for dinner. The menu features both vegetarian and vegan options, and there are extensive annotations throughout the menu to let you know which items are gluten-free, etc. (Same as Clear Head.) The dishes are wonderful and full of flavor. I never expected to enjoy Tex-Mex fare in Prague but there is magic in Maitrea's kitchen. The staff is incredibly friendly--so are the other dining guests. What seems odd to highlight, but must be seen to be believed, is the interior space of the lower dining area. The use of carved wood furniture, paper lanterns, and water fountains set in stone are incredible. Just when you think Prague couldn't take away your breath any more than it already has with its city views, along comes Maitrea with its interior design and equally impressive menu. By all means, dine at both establishments! But be sure to really appreciate your surroundings when dining at Maitrea. read more

Avoid avoid avoid. Do yourself a favor and read the other 1-3 star reviews. Insultingly bad, high-school cafeteria level preparation. Not cheap. Poor service. Avoid unless you have no other options. I'm a Buddhist, and I typically eat vegetarian but not exclusively, and this is without a doubt the worst vegetarian meal I've paid for by a long shot. This is a warning to anyone who isn't a vegan/vegetarian and therefore have other options. I wish we'd read something like this before we went-- We ordered the goulash and the veg sausage and an appetizer, as we were starving. The food looked like it was prepared by children. The goulash was literally a brown sauce with Trader Joe/supermarket soy proteins microwaved. Veg sausage resembled the kind of Morningstar veggie patties. Aside from the "meat," there was a starch on either plate. And that's literally it. Imagine a couple lumps of soy/seitan floating in brown or white sauce with potatoes or rice. The less said about the app the better. Oh and served on plastic plates. It honestly looked like high school cafeteria food. But that would be an insult to high schools. And it took forever to arrive. We were both shocked when the food arrived. The food was NOT cheap - ~$15-20 per person. And the server, who was either having a bad day or is just naturally a smirking, patronising guy, took 20 minutes to take our order, and another 20 to dump the plates on our table. At a half empty restaurant. Honestly, not sure what everyone else is raving about. I usually hold Yelp reviews in high regard, but this one is stumping me and my friend. We fell for the 4 1/2 (!!!!) average star review and decided to try this restaurant as a change to the amount of meat otherwise found in Prague. Sadly, we ended up eating a side of rotisserie ham and bread at a stall for half the cost and found it more satisfying. read more

Delicious sun-dried tomatoes! Really puts American standards for veggie freshness to shame. Gigantic portion of avocados in my salad, too. Great cappuccino, unique decor. Important to note that some actual Czech residents were here despite the touristy location! read more

My most beloved vegetarian restaurant in Prague. Fantastic food, welcoming service and nice interior. I recommend to make a reservation, especially for the dinner and/or bigger groups. Also to take some fresh juices and if you want to try a typical Czech food in a vegetarian version - take Svíčková;) read more

Vegetarian food in Prague? I was intrigued. And I was especially eager to try out the traditional Czech dishes made without meat. I really wanted to love this place, but while I loved some dishes, others were lacking. The goulash was delicious. As was the sundried tomato spread on the appetizer plate. But the dumplings were terrible, as was the hummus. The tofu spread was okay. Overall, I felt the meal was so uneven, it's difficult to give it an accurate star-rating. Service was poor. We had a view of the kitchen and saw our plates come up. Our waitress did not come over to the kitchen for over 8 minutes while our food was getting cold. In the end, another waiter brought us our food while our waitress chatted with another table. read more

The five of us went to Prague for two and a half days and we ate at Maitrea twice. That's how much we loved it. Note: reservations are a must on weekends, but they do offer carry-out (you have to pay a little bit for the carry-out containers, which are made of sugarcane) though you may have to wait (we waited an hour, but we lived two doors away so it was easy). Pretty much we loved everything. They offer an extremely annotated menu in English and are super accommodating of all dietary restrictions (veggie, vegan, onion/garlic, honey, gluten, etc. etc. are all marked). Atmosphere is all curves and wood and calmness, and the service is very kind and friendly. Beautiful space, sit in the basement if you can. Foodwise: the Mexican-y dishes are surprisingly great if unexpected (do not expect actual Mexican)- they come with guac, sour cream, salsa, and a tasty rice dish (not Mexican). We had all of the kinds of quesadillas and they were all delicious. The black bean burrito is *just* black beans and carrots in a melted-cheese covered tortilla, so it's a lot of black bean. We also had the vegan goulash, which he liked a lot (I'm not a huge vegan beef fan), a macrobiotic miso noodle soup which was INCREDIBLY flavorful and packed with veggies, a very good green curry with vegan shrimps, and a raw zucchini pasta with a slightly spicy tomato sauce which was ALSO INCREDIBLE. Essentially you can't go wrong. Loved this spot, just hidden off of the old town square at reasonable prices. They serve monks for free, so that automatically makes me like it. We saw a few saffron-robed people on our first day and were wondering what they were doing on our teeny street. Now I know! read more

This is a great place to go, even if you're not vegetarian. Exactly like their partner-restaurant "lehka hlava" the Maitrea serves vegetarian and vegan dishes and has great selection of healthy drinks and teas. The service was fast and attentive, the food was amazingly delicious, the interior is extraordinary and it's always a good sign when they have an open window to the kitchen. Due to its size it's not exactly as cozy as the lehka hlava but it's comfortable and leisure as well. It's probably good to make a reservation here. Great restaurant! Will come back! read more

After getting sick of sausages and meat, I decided to come here for my last day in Prague. As someone who's been going to vegetarian restaurants and follow the health food fad in Los Angeles, I am unbelievably jealous that there is nothing similar to Maitrea back home. The drink menu is expansive; we had the two rice milk based drinks - yum. The food, well you can't go wrong. We had the starter for two, kung pao, and thai curry. Everything was delicious, and the decor of the basement level is absolutely zen and beautiful. I also couldn't believe that this was only a block away from Old Town Square - so I didn't expect a jewel so close-by. Cash only. read more

Best vegetarian restaurant in Prague, even though the service can be quite poor. The food is amazing and makes it worth coming back again and again. There are plenty of options from Mexican and Italian dishes to Czech specialties - all without meat. Even non-vegetarians and people generally sceptical of vegetarian food have enjoyed this place a lot. The 'fake meat' served in some of the dishes at Maitrea is much more authentic than at other veggie places and in general the dishes have great flavour. The guacamole dip is amazing! Don't expect to be impressed by the staff as often there has been something wrong in the bill. Also remember to make a reservation if you're going at dinner time as the place is often packed. read more

Probably one of the top 3 veggie restaurants in Prague. We went here 2 days in a row, cause the meny had so many tempting dishes we had to try. Loved all of it. For lunch you could just walk in, but if you go for dinner book a table. A large meny of all kinds of different food from local to thai and mexican. Beautiful flavours and nice portions. So very tastfull, absolutely love this place. read more

This was my first time at Maitrea and loved it. The atmosphere was great, service was good and the food and drinks were fantastic. I had the warm spinach crepe with a purée of baked eggplant and herbs as an appetizer, followed by zucchini spaghetti with marinated dried mushrooms and nuts...absolutely delicious! I had coconut water at first, followed by a glass of red wine and capped the night with a glass of white. Everything was delicious. Next time I'm in Prague, I'll be here to eat. read more

THIS PLACE IS SOOO GOOD!! They make awesome vegetarian food, a lot of it is vegan, they have daily specials for 115 which include a soup and main course and water. I was introduced to this place yesterday and had to go there again today, because it is so amazing. It's in a great location, the service is wonderful, they have a huge assortment of drinks (including fresh juices - the carrot & orange one is sooo good!!). I can't say enough good things about this place. I'll seriously probably go here every day that I am in Prague. read more

Restaurace Maitrea - The daily special - curry with veggies, tofu and rice with a side salad and some pepper compote. So delicious! - Vegetarian Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Amazing vegetarian restaurant in Prague! My brother and I spent a few days in Prague and ate at some pretty great places, and this was by far the best. They have a very modern and awesome decor. We sat in the basement, and they have a cool fountain in the middle of the room, and at the end, a small nook with intimate seating and a fireplace. We ordered two glasses of Czech red wine which were pretty good - smooth and light...similar to a cab. For apps: Sausage Salad - drenched in a red wine vinaigrette, there was arugula, tomatoes, onions, and sausage, and it all worked really well together...there was bread to soak up the additional dressing, and it was a simple, delectable salad Smoked Tofu Tartare - it's an interesting flavor of smoky and mustardy (if that makes sense)...it comes with bread...not my favorite, but it was worth trying it Dinner: Goulash - I ordered this because I wanted to try something different and a more traditional dish, as it's difficult to do that being vegetarian. This plate was super delicious and I got it with the potato wedges...the meatballs and goulash were tasty, full of flavor, and was great with the wedges Kung Pao Chicken - my brother ordered this and enjoyed it - the chicken wasn't too rubbery of chewy and the pieces were smaller (which we liked) You should definitely check out this restaurant when you're in Prague, vegetarian or not. read more

Loved this spot!!!! Went two nights in a row due to the excellent service, wonderful traditional Czech ( plant based) entrees and the "tofoie gras". (yum) Appetizers. This is the place we learned that beer is less expensive than water in this country. An interesting lesson for Americans used to clean free tap water on the table. Convenient location and nice ambiance upstairs. Recommended. read more

Wonderful, most fulfilling (veggie)burger ever. Iiiit delievered, and beyond. I'd eat it again and again. Tasty, happy and fun flavors. I recommend it! Hopefully the buns won't be dry next time. Didn't matter too much this time, because there was so much of the other goodness... Can also recommend the apricot ricotta pie. Servers were superfriendly and contributed to the warm, relaxed atmosphere. Big PS: they do not accept payment by card here - bring cash! read more

Restaurace Maitrea - Veggie burger - perfectly spicy - Vegetarian Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Omg... I want to go back right now. This is a great vegetarian and vegan restaurant right behind the old square - one of the major attractions in Prague. Situated in a large building, there is an upstairs and downstairs part. Many artists contributed to the decorations of the restaurant with its friendly staff. The atmosphere is very inviting. The food is clearly marked with specifications such as vegan and Gluten free. The choices vary from Italian, Mexican to Czech cuisine. So, if you want to try goulash with dumplings, but you don't eat beef like I, this is the perfect place. Try one of the many house made drinks such as the ginger lemonade. And wait... there are many dessert choices as well. This restaurant is a real jewel in a city that favors heavy heavy meats and game. read more

I'm not vegetarian but I'm keeping kosher and it's the best solution for me! You don't need to worry about looking for not kosher ingredients, you just need to order from the menu.. And for my surprise, the food is delicious!! Good service, good food, good vibe- very recommended! read more

I love this sort of food, my fiancé not so much but he still enjoyed the appetizer which was a combo of all the cold appetizers and he ate ALL of his goulash :). I had a veggie, cheese and "chicken" quesadilla which was delicious it also came with rice, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and mix of lettuce. For desert I had the recommended spicy hot chocolate with almonds which was also heaven! I think you can find something even if you are not vegetarian as its so many great choices. read more

Came for a long weekend with friends. A very well positioned and decorated place with a labyrinth of corridors and stairs to get to rooms. Rooms themselves have modern showers and comfortable beds. There was a nightclub nearby which made some noise so we had to close the windows. There was no shower gel in the dispenser so I asked at the front dEsk and the lady promised it would be sorted, but it wasn't there that night when we returned. Breakfast was very good with choice of teas,coffee, continental and some cooked eggs and sausages - lovely!! read more

This place is pretty amazing! Given it's in a city I imagined was almost fully carnivorous, it's nice to find a cozy spot with creative vegetarian dishes. I tried the veg spin on the traditional scičková. The visual execution was on point. As for the taste, it was an interesting sweet dish with alt meat and topped with whipped cream and jam. The staff was friendlier than others restaurants I'd been to in the city and regularly checked up on the table. Overall, I'd definitely return again to try more dishes. read more

This used to be me and my wife's favorite restaurant for many years. Then we moved away from Czech for a while only to return just recently. I took a friend there for my first time in years, but the prices were almost double what they used to be! I get that they are just trying to capitalize on the location and be profitable... but then I heard that the employees didn't get a raise at all! This is outrageous. If I am going to pay twice as much, I want to know that the employees get some of it! I won't be going back for ethical reasons. However, the food and service are excellent. So if you don't have the same ethical conflict, it's a great place! read more

As vegetarians, Praha doesn't at first appear to be the friendliest place but Maitrea gives you reason not to fear. This restaurant is one of two places that my fiance and I visited multiple times for lunch and dinner during a week stay in the city. Not only is the menu massive and the food quality amazing, but the place itself is beautifully lit and accented by carved wood furniture. Their drink options are also worth exploring. Praha drove us crazy overall as a vacation destination, but we would almost consider going back for the vegan scene, and this place in particular. read more

AMAZING VEGETARIAN FOOD! This restaurant and its sister, Lehka Hlava are the best vegetarian food I've had in my life, and that is coming from a vegetarian who lives in California! We went to eat restaurant twice during our week long stay in Prague. The service was excellent both times we were here, we didn't have a reservation either time. It seems like they prefer them, as it gets pretty busy, but we were able to be accommodated. The decor downstairs is wonderful, try getting seated there if possible. Try the eggplant/spinach crepe appetizer, I had it during our first visit and ordered a double amount as an entree during our second visit. Definitely a must go if you are vegetarian and find yourself in Prague! read more

A pretty good vegetarian restaurant here in Prague. As I usually find quite difficult to find a vegetarian place or meal in the Czech Republic, I was nicely surprised by this restaurant. The location is very convenient, as it is only few minutes from the Old Town Square. The stuff was very nice, above the average in Prague and helped with anything we needed. We didn't wait long for anything, although it was a Friday night. Interior is cozy. Food was great, well flavored and I am only sorry that we haven't tried any of their deserts. We had a veggie burger and Thai eggplant with rice, and would recommend to try both of them. Wine was just ok, but for the price I didn't expect better. I wish there were more places like this. read more
