Interesting experience - Edit
I don't know how to start to describe this place- first visit, they let me in, welcomed me and when I tried to order they told me they were shut. Second visit they may as well have been! Had to get up and go to the counter to order my food, having first had to get myself a table... and paying at the end was equally problematic. Staff seemed distracted. Food was cold- stone cold. It tasted ok and was cheap and the staff were nice enough. Only one meal is offered as a 'set meal' and you can add/remove items as you see fit for extra cost (although removing items will not make it cheaper...removing items necessary for vegans)

BAD PLACE - Edit
The food was very cold. We get diferent price(like 2x expensive) than the local people. If you speak chek you pay half price only. They charge as extra for a glas of tap water. All the food was cold and looked also to be old. The boss was behiving very arogant and unprofessional, unfortunately his english was so bad, so he didnot understand any of our complain. The toilets were also in a very bad condition. We did not finish our meels and we will definitally not come again. Better we recomand to visit vegan restaurant Loveg (Nerudova 36)just ten meters up. There is much better food, cheaper, people more friendly and food is vegan
Read moreCons: cold food, bad behiavour, TWO DIFERENT PRICES

Good food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere - Edit
Despite other information, the staff here does speak English.
Read moreDuring lunch, they have a buffet for a fixed price. They bring you a plate of food with a dessert, soup, salad and main dish. After you eat everything, you tell them if you want more and which things you would like (more soup but not more salad, etc).
The day that we went, the main dish wasn't vegan, but the dessert, salad, soup and rice were all quite good. Food is Indian-inspired, and the atmosphere was nice. The service was good, as well. Definitely recommend this place.
Pros: All-vegetarian, Friendly, Buffet
Cons: Limited options

Nice place, small menu, good price - Edit
Gopal is one of the few veg places on the other side of the river, very close to the palace. It is in a nice and calm environment, in a courtyard behind an art gallery, and seem to be run by Krishna people. They have one (Indian-style) dish a day, an all-you-can-eat option, and one where you select what you want on your plate. All-you-can-eat means that you can go to the counter and ask for seconds, which they will happily serve you. Most of the food was vegan, it was easy to leave out the yogurt sauce for the desert). The food selection is not great, but you get good value for your money.
Read morePros: calm environment, close to palace, good/much food for low pice, veganizable
Cons: small selection of food

Nice Spot - Edit
A lovely place up the hill in Male Strana well signed from the main street go through an art gallery and to the restaurant. Basic food made from chunky vegetables and pulses. There are a few seats inside but if it's sunny there's a lovely external seating area. Food is cheap and cheerful served in the familiar metallic utensils used in Govinda type places. I had the chunky veg soup which at 30 CZK was sufficient and hearty. They also have another branch lower down the hill in Male Strana at the corner of Elišky Peškové and Malátova as you cross in to Male Strana from the Jiráskuv Bridge.

Handy location, but bit of a strange one! - Edit
The best thing about this place is the location, it's right down the street from the Castle, and as there's not much else in that area in terms of veggie and vegan options, it's handy if you're really hungry and need to eat in that area. The outside seating is lovely - it's in a little sheltered courtyard and was very peaceful - a nice welcome break.
Read moreHowever, if you're strict vegan, this might not be the best choice for you. The menu is in English, but it's a little bit confusing. For an easy life, we opted for the 'all you can eat' option which is a set meal. It comes on a canteen style tray and they come back when you've eaten it and ask if you'd like more of anything. The food was a little bit strange and not very hot. There was a lentil soup which was nice enough, then a possibly vegan curry which had pineapple in it and was OK, but I probably wouldn't eat a lot of it unless I was desperate, there was a small portion of salad which I think contained some pickled veg - so fine, if you like pickled veg, some bread, which was nice, and a pudding which was berry yoghurt (didn't eat it as try to be vegan)and a sort of sweet dumpling thing which I tasted a little bit of out of curiosity but didn't finish as I wasn't sure what was in it. I wasn't unhappy, it was fine and I'm just always happy when I get something that I can eat OK, but I wouldn't recommend it as a gourmet option.
They do juices here too - you can get wheatgrass juice. You could probably get something a bit more standard if you took your time over the menu and worked things out but we were too hungry! It's very reasonably priced too, so a good budget option, particularly if you take them up on the 'all you can eat' offer. We didn't finish our first tray so didn't test them on this.
Pros: Handy location, Peaceful setting, Good prices
Cons: Food a bit strange

A very odd eating experience - Edit
We came across this place by chance while wandering down Nerudova after a visit to the castle. The pictures on the door seemed appealing, so we gave it a go, and...well, the pictures may have been a bit misleading. The set menu consisted of a very nice chick pea soup, a less appetising sludge-coloured courgette curry, a rather unappealing bit of salad floating in yoghurt, a strange yellow combination of coconut, aniseed and a prune, and a rather flat sponge cake in banana yoghurt.
Read moreWe were asked if we wanted seconds before we left, but that seemed like a rather misplaced enquiry considering we hadn't managed to finish our firsts. Perhaps this is just a style of cooking that I'm not used to or don't appreciate the nuances of (and it must be said that the other customers were happily polishing off their trays of food in record time), but I certainly wouldn't recommend spending your 150 korunas here.

once was enough - Edit
i happened to find myself in the neighborhood of Gopal, so i made the effort to track it down.
Read moreone time was enough -- the attitude of the man working there was pretty unfriendly. was miffed by my questions - as i'm lactose intolerant, i decided to only have the soup. apparently it was lentil, but it was mostly broth - barely any lentils, barely any vegetables. and i had to pay extra for a bit of rice. and even more if i wanted a little bit of chutney... mostly it was the man's attitude that turned me off. and compared to veggie dhaba (both praha 1 locations) which is ALWAYS packed with people, there were only two other people eating @ Gopal - and it was lunchtime.
don't plan on going back - the energy and the food were not great.

friendly escape from the castle crowds - Edit
below ground cafe style resteraunt set in a courtyard near the castle. set menu of the day is 108 czech crowns - very cheap. with that you get soup, chutney, rice, curry, salad, halva + banana yoghurt, all washed down with herb tea. obviously the menu probably changes daily, but this gives you some idea. great value for money + the owner is super friendly. it's a little oasis of calm after you've been trampled by the hoardes around the castle.

Surprising restaurant - Edit
This restaurant is not that easy to spot. You have to look for the sign on the right during the walk uphill to the castle. Enter the yard, take the stair down and get through a white door to enter the restaurant. It was a nice surprise. Nice Ambient. Food is really good. The price is quite cheap (108 for the whole lunch).
