Though Czech cuisine is traditionally heavy on meat, Prague is extremely progressive when it comes to dietary preferences. Vegetarian options are pretty much everywhere, and vegan options are increasingly available even in non-vegan restaurants. Though I myself am an unrepentant meat-eater, I had to find a way to accommodate a vegan friend visiting Prague. So here is an extensive (though incomplete) list of where you can find vegan food in Prague.
