Fresh, healthy, and delicious - Edit
Rawcha is a pleasant oasis of good health and good flavor. The fact that it's all vegan organic is a huge plus, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients in the food.
Read moreThe menu is similar to many raw restaurants around the world, in that there are dishes called "burger" or "ravioli," for example, that have nearly nothing in common with their cooked-food namesakes but are delicious nonetheless.
There's enough variety on the menu to please most people, and all the more so in the beverage pages. Fresh juices are great, as was the chocolate cake.
The ambience is pleasant and relaxing, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was warm, and English is spoken (there's also an English version of the menu for the asking).
Rawcha's prices are a little higher than some of the other veg restaurants in town, but by the standards of European restaurants serving quality, raw, organic food, it's actually a bargain.
Highly recommended.
Enjoy!
Pros: Vegan and organic, varied menu, good desserts

highlight of my trip! - Edit
We came across Rawcha by accident and decided to eat lunch there. My bf ordered the the carrot soup which was a fruity sensation. He liked it a lot! I ordered the peas salad which was amazing! It was basically a bowl of peas which had a dressing on them out of ginger, garlic and coconut oil (I'm guessing). It was so good that my bf ate half of the plate and I decided to make this dish at home someday. Since he ate my dish I ordered a main dish which was raw sushi. It consisted of a lot of nuts and seeds (I try to avoid fat) so it was a cheat treat for me. The wasabi was really surprisingly different. All dishes were served on beautiful chic plates in a really professional way. The restaurant itself is tiny. 2 tables and some outside. The decor was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come again when we're in Prague and we'll going to order a table for dinner. It has the perfect atmosphere for an intimate date night ;)

Cons: waiter was on his phone a lot, waiter took his time to check if we had any wishes

Delicious desserts! - Edit
I can't speak to any non-dessert foods because I didn't try those, but the raw cheesecake I had here was amazing! Perfect texture and taste, refreshing, and not heavy.

This restaurant is my daily routine, I'm a vegan, however I'm trying to go raw for the summer, the food is always interesting and desserts are incredibly tasty! You should definitely try the pancake, the best I've ever had. Raw restaurant number one in Prague!

Overpriced and Underwhelming - Edit
My husband and I visited Rawcha on 27 May 2014 - first for tea and then for dinner - after hearing a glowing review from a fellow traveller. While I am a vegan and my husband is a vegetarian, we are not raw food purists, but were keen to try and support such a restaurant. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our meal, which was both expensive and unsatisfying. The menu relies heavily on nuts and seeds, which results in a heavy, fat-laden meal. I ordered a main consisting of spinach, mushrooms, and a few other things, but I was only able to eat @ half of it - it was incredibly salty and the sauce was unpleasant. It's worth a mention that I ALWAYS finish my food, but I just couldn't tolerate this. My husband had the 'potato' salad, which was good, but not impressive. We also tried three desserts: the chocolate pie was very good (the best dessert of any restaurant we tried while in Prague), the apple streudel was pleasant, and the chocolate muffin was not good (couldn't taste any chocolate). Unfortunately, the staff did not enquire into whether we enjoyed our meal, so could not benefit from our critiques. However, the staff only seemed to have minimal English, so maybe such questions were beyond them. The restaurant was nicely decorated and well-appointed. It was also small, and we had to make a reservation for dinner.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC - Edit
I have been traveling for four weeks, eating at the best vegan cafes I could find all over Africa, Asia and Europe. This tiny, pretty raw place tops the list! Every bite is fresh, delicious and amazing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Pros: fantastic food, friendly service, sweet ambiance

Tiny Raw Restaurant - Edit
Small raw restaurant, menu details in Czech, but owner does a great job of explaining items. And it is all vegan so no worries anyway! It is a small operation with the same guy who takes the order making the food. It was a nice and zen leisurely meal. Another great option to support a small local vegan business. Good food and good people.

High quality, raw and vegan - Edit
Tucked away in a courtyard off a busy street (look for the sign above the alleyway), this place is very peaceful with an impressive selection of all courses and especially tea.
Read morePersonally I liked the decor and found the staff friendly; the owner speaks English (and an English menu is available) but was helpful and paitient in letting me practice my limited Czech. There are only three tables, which means that it is either cosy, or slightly nerve-wracking, depending on how you feel about possibly being the only diner(s).
The food is completely raw and prepared from scratch to order, which means I can forgive the portions being slightly on the small side. Of the options my partner and I tried, we found both the falafel and the ravioli, as well as the fruit juices, to be of a very good quality.
Prices are moderate, and one final positive is that this is one of the few vegan places in Prague open as late as 22:00.
Pros: location, opening hours
Cons: portion sizes

Guaranteed Satisfaction for Tea and Rawfood Lovers - Edit
I have visited Rawcha a couple of times, and each time I was in the middle of going somewhere (either arriving to or leaving from town). The visit had made me wish I could stay a bit longer.
Read moreFirst of all, this cozy and calm teahouse is the youngest among the raw food serving places in Praha. Therefore, it should not be surprising that after its opening, expectations on the scene were high. As for me I've got to say that all of mine were surpassed.
Not only that the location is great (let's admit it though, a forest hut or a garden house would always suit it more), right in the center, the decoration is much more appropriate than in any raw food restaurant I've seen, and the sitting spots are varied so that they fit (almost) anyone's preference. That being said, here a little downside has to be mentioned - the space is really small at the moment, with only three tables. What I miss a bit is the sitting on flat floor like I know it from some traditional teahouses. But of course, that's no big deal.
Amongst the teas served there, some trademark and rare Chinese teas can be found. Also, I am pleased to announce here that their recommended method of cold brewed Gyokuro is flawless, much like the offered green tea itself.
The celery fresh (a favorite of mine) I've once had there was a truly refreshing experience. It had a creamy green appearance, intense and delicate flavor and smooth, pleasant texture. It is prepared from local organic celery plus some stalk celery.
Now to the desserts, a favourite topic of mine as I indulge in them rarely. First of all, the desserts at Rawcha, especially the Avocado+Matcha+Lime dessert and the Raspberry/Cherry dessert are the lightest I've ever tasted.
Often, the desserts at raw food restaurants are pretty heavy, full of cacao butter and coconut oil. This alone would suit me to be honest, but not in combination with all the supersweet syrups and fruits and nuts.
Rawcha desserts, though, are well-balanced and the taste experience optimal. They actually teached me to appreciate sourness of some fruits a bit more. Avocado and lime is a "killer" combination - especially with tones of matcha (never quite raw, but ssssshhh! we're in a teahouse) in the background. But you do not smell or taste any other flavor than those you would expect to be present in the citrus, the avocado and the pale nutty crust.
Then there is also a variety of raw mains and other desserts I haven't tried.
The pricing is higher, but that's expectable.
Pros: fantastic beverages, quality of interior, positive vibes
Cons: opening hours could be even longer?, i don't really want to write any
