It takes just one

I saved it for my last day in Prague just to feel sorry later.
They have just a few vegan dishes, but the one I ordered (curry, vegetables with coconut milk) was just PERFECT. I get hungry every time I remember it. ahhhhhhh

My people (who like if its almost unrecognisable to real meat) lovedddd the gulash !! I had the udon no-duck also nice but I think there would be better options, otherwise totally recommend😄

Pros: Atmosphere , All veg (many vegan options)

Vegetarian restaurant with vegan options

We were looking for typical czech meals but without meat.
The atmosphere is interesting and quite cool. There is even a little pond in the cellar.
The menu has typical czech meals and also a selection of internal meals so everyone should find something.

There are vegan options but you might want to check the menu beforehand to see if it's what you want. I was quite sad that my favorite meal was just vegetarian.

I ordered the goulash and it was served with potatoes instead of dumplings (The dumplings could not be made vegan).
However the disappointment disappeared when I ate the meal because it was delicious though.

Yet still I think there could be more vegan options.

The staff was quite rushed so sometimes the waiter thought everything was fine and disappeared while I wasn't done with my order yet. I should have talked faster. They did not leave mid sentence. It was just a communication error probably due to stress.

Pros: Friendly staff, Delicious meals, Cool atmosphere

Cons: Small vegan selection , Vegan options might be a "compromise" , Staff was a bit rushed

Good food, multiple vegan options

since it‘s a vegetarian restaurant, I feel better eating there than at a restaurant that serves meat as well. We had the udon noodles and kimchi udon noodles. Portions were okay, since we weren’t that hungry. Staff was friendly, atmosphere is good.

Lieu sympa mais plats décevants.

Accueil chaleureux, service rapide mais plats assez déceptifs.
Pour le burger ce n’était pas vraiment rassasiant et assez sec (pain, quelques tranches de tomates, roquette, pesto, fromage de chèvre, chutney de mangue).
Pour la « Svickova » (faux « faux-filet », sauce au légume et quenelles tchèques) : peu ragoûtant, plutôt bon sans plus.
Assez cher pour ce que c’est.

Pros: Accueil, Service, Ambiance

Cons: Prix, Nourriture bonne sans plus

Vegetarian/vegan Czech food

Great vegetarian restaurant with many vegan options (although could be more) that offers traditional Czech food. The food was great and not too expensive. We didn’t need a reservation (Thursday evening)

A little disappointed

The atmosphere is nice. But we had to wait a lot for the burgers and when we asked the server how much longer do we have to wait he got a little upset.
They didn’t have vegan cheese alternatives. The food was okayish.

Unforgettable plant-based " duck "

Maitrea was the place where I first tried plant-based duck many years back and it is still unforgettable even until today, when there are so many delicious plant based "meats" already available in almost every shop ..

Cozy restaurant. A bit expensive

Nice place that veganize Czech traditional recipes!
Cute decoration, nice staff but we waited 30minutes for our dishes (the restaurant wasn’t full).
I ordered svicková and my boyfriend ordered a beyond meat burger. It was good but not incredible.
At the end our bill was 45€ for not a big quantity and quality of food.. I was a little disappointed

Review - Maitrea

Today is my first solo trip outside my country. I felt the cozy ambiance from this place and I decided to try a czech vegetarian plate! It was so different from what I’m used to and I loved the combination of flavours from a veggie Svíčková 🫶🏻

Very good but slightly overrated

I've been there twice and I do love the place. However, I had better versions of all their vegan options in Prague. It's a good place to take carnivores as well. Their menu is large too. Beautiful interior. Normal portion size

A bit weird

Had the goulash . Was ok. Not sure why they can't make the dumplings vegan. My partners curry came out cold, so we sent it back. Dessert of rhubarb crumble tasted weird. Was made vegan by just removing the cow cream from the veggie version. And you get charged the same. I get a feeling they are a veggie restaurant that resents having to cater for vegans . The restaurant itself is very pretty. Wouldn't go back .

Many options with great flavor

First time trying black beer goulash and I really liked it. The meat substitute was spot on with the texture, the flavor of the sauce was really good and the potatoes had great seasoning as well. Overall a great dish and I’d recommend trying it if you get the chance!
The Udon noodles were tasty and filling. Good portions, a bit on the pricier side but still accessible.
The restaurant is quite pretty, servers are nice. The menu feels a little all over the place considering the options, but the dishes have great flavors and good portions.

Pros: Great flavor, Good portions , Nice service and atmosphere

Cons: Pricier

Not too bad

I looked at the other reviews, some of them urged caution. But we had a good experience here. Nice food, nicely decorated in the basement, albeit very warm. Service was okay when we were downstairs, but a little curt upstairs when we came in - no real issues. I was the only vegan and had the Asian crispy Seitan dish - was really nice. My daughter had the quesadillas, she loved them, and wife had the goats cheese salad - again, really nice. Seating was a bit weird for three people - you’re stuck next to three other strangers! Could have been a few more purely vegan options. Just misses out on 5 stars.

Revisited Nov 2023. Brilliant place, great food, back up to five stars.
