A cheap place with warm food and vegetable salads.

Prague's original experiment in soy, Bona Vita continues to dish out its bizarre concoctions from the lean, mean protein bean in its post-modern cafeteria on the edge of Old Town Square (to the left of Jan Hus). More frequently, however, the soy sits next to vats of spaghetti and real-meat stir-fry. Bona Vita offer plenty of healthy choices: Bouncy soy burgers, soy chilli, and soy stir-fry share the bill with more familiar (and tastier) cafeteria selections.

In the bad old days a salad used to mean a bowl full of lettuce. But that was before this establishment opened it's doors. Vegetarians who come here have been putting on weight ever since. The egalitarian set up means that you will have to grab a tray, join the queue and make a choice from the selection of dishes daily changing. Some meat eaters may find some dishes a bit bland but it is certainly good for you. And if you decide to live a more healthy life then you can even buy the dry ingredients here.

In-Out that is what this is all about. Meat-less dishes, clean, and self service is a good combination for a satisfying, hearty meal.

It's strictly a vegetarian affair at this Hare Krishna restaurant. The menu changes every day but will always include a choice of soups, several stewed vegetable dishes served with wild rice or beans and a dessert. The preparation is very simple, using very little oil, spices or herbs. Don't forget to try the large selection of sweets on offer downstairs. Finally the organic food-store at the front offers a range of healthy products to compensate for all the unhealthy food most of us normaly consume.

This place serves meal-sized salads for 40 CZK.

Something of a Godsend for Prague vegeterians. One look at the extensive menu is enough to convert even the most devote foie gras eater. The small and unassuming entrance on a quiet street leads to an equally unassuming, high-ceilinged, elongated space. The food bar, adjacent to a series of small tables, allows guests to see and choose from the daily selection of dishes. Although it is also possible to order from the extensive a la carte menu. After eating it feels like you did your body a favor and that you can look the Vltava ducks in the eye with a clear conscience. Warm strudel filled with broccoli, whole wheat spaghetti with mushrooms and sage sauce, and freshly pressed juices are some of the specialities prepared from fresh and almost entirely organic ingredients.

Vegetarian heaven landed in Prague 5 years ago. The menu is filled with veg. delights. The mix salad platter for four it is a wonderful starter. If you would like to sit in the cafe and there is a wait you can get a number and wait in the artistic lounge and have one of their many selection of drinks. Not merely an excellent vegetarian restaurant but also a world-class club, bar, art gallery and music shop. Funky, colourful, ecelctic decor, large lounge sofas, amorphous mosaic tables and cool, black-clad waiting staff move to the ambient beat. The food includes stir-fried vegetables, couscous, pasta, salads and an excellent weekend brunch. Best of all the kitchen is open until 4 in the morning. So you don't need to go to bed hungry ever again!
