Great food

Really good vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options. Very varied menu including traditional Czech goulash, Asian noodles, burgers and quesadillas! Great service and nice atmosphere. Need to book.

Excellence for a good price with plenty of vegan options

Great team, wonderful execution, delicious food with both generous portions and a fair price.

Many vegan options across the whole menu—you can build many 3- and 4-course vegan extravaganzas from their offerings. Our travel companions ate from vegetarian options and loved their dinners as well.

I would joyfully return.

Exceptional

On our trip to Prague we went du Maitrea twice (on Wednesday and Saturday) and both times had a great time there. For vegetarians who’d like to have the full Czech experience I’d recommend trying the vegetarian Goulash as you will not have the chance to try this meaty meal in the traditional restaurants around town. Reservations are highly recommended as several walk-ins could not be seated during both our times there.

Edit: We went back four years later and would still recommend it.

Veg czechian food

I was in Prague for holidays and I couldn't leave the country without trying some of the traditional foods. In Maitrea I had a vegan duck with potatoes dumplings. I couldn't be more happy!

Good for lunch

Me and my non-veg husband went here for lunch. Unfortunately for me the lunch options on that day were vegetarian and not vegan, so I had to choose from the regular menu. Should’ve checked on their website beforehand! My husband had some sort of spinach lasagne which he said was delicious and very cheesy. I got the veganized paella with no-chicken chunks. It didn’t really remind me of paella but it was good anyway. Hemp beer was good.

Lunch was cheap, paella cost a bit more than average. It was a huge portion though, couldn’t finish it all!

Just perfect

The food is delicious. In the historic centre of the town. Easy to find. It is better to book a table in advance especially when you are more than 2.

Surprisingly good

We struggled to find some vegetarian and vegan food in the first place, but were really happy with finding this one. Got a table for 2 without reservation, eventho it was quite well visited at that point. Really decent vegetarian and vegan options and most food was possible to order as vegan version. Gonna recommend this to my friends.

Pros: Food, Ambiente, Central Location

Nice place, delicious food

We had a nice experience at this restaurant. Very nice staff. Everything is vegetarian and there are a few vegan options. I had the guacamole, udon noodles and the tapioca dessert. It was all very delicious! Would recommend😄

Kaum vegane Optionen

Eines vorweg: die Inneneinrichtung ist wirklich toll und sogar wenn man einen Tisch im Untergeschoss erhält, vermisst man keine Fenster. Für Veganer:innen ist dieses Restaurant aber nicht wirklich ein Höhepunkt, da von den 15 Hauptgerichten nur drei vegan sind. Diese beschränken sich auf die asiatische Küche. Ich hatte die Udon-Nudeln mit Erdnusssauce, bei dem auch wirklich alles nur nach Erdnuss schmeckt. Für mich ein kompletter Reinfall, da man so nichts vom Tempeh oder den anderen Zutaten herausschmecken konnte. Meiner Begleitung hat der Burger mit Spiegelei gut geschmeckt. Für mich als Veganer stellt sich die Frage, warum bei den ganzen vegetarischen Gerichte, nicht auch eine vegane Option angeboten wird. Der Unterschied und der Aufwand sollten sich heutzutage in Grenzen halten. Die Bedienung war auf jeden Fall keine Hilfe um einen zu beraten oder eventuell Alternativen anzubieten. Mein Tipp an alle Veganer:innen: geht lieber in die anderen veganen Restaurants in Prag, die mehr Abwechslung bieten.

Good vegan options in a nice ambience

Most of the dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. The menu is quite international but they also have some Czech dishes as well. It can get a bit full so making a reservation online would be good.

Pros: Good number of vegan dishes , Friendly staff

Cons: A bit pricey (but it's Prague, so....)
