Mega!

To jest top wegańskich restauracji. Jedliśmy pieczone warzywa z sosem i pesto grzanki, kopytka z wytrawnym sosem, babkę cynamonową z kremem i babeczkę z ciasta francuskiego z budyniem i brzoskwinią na deser- wszystko było przepyszne.

Restaurant with a nice atmosphere

We had an omelette and a mushroom steak, both were really delicious and worth going for. There’s a good variety of options at different prices. We’ll come back!

Pros: Fair price, Nice interior , Good selection

Food that comes from the heart

You can really taste the approach to preparing the food – everything is so delicious. The Monte dessert was absolutely amazing. One of, if not the best, restaurants in Prague.

Omelet and vegan steak to die for!

I had an omelette made of mung beans with mushrooms. It came with salad with pickled vegetables on lettuce, toast, and butter. My husband cleaned his plate of Lion mane steak with mashed potatoes, grilled cherry tomatoes and fresh peas. The waiter could not have been friendlier and the cardamom bun we finished with was superb.

Good food

I came here for dinner and had the Lions Mane Mushroom Steak. It was very delicious. Their menu is a bit different than what’s in the website. I made a reservation and it was busy around 6pm when I got there, so helpful to have one.

Staff was friendly and efficient.

Utterly amazing food and service!!!

We ate on bbq night and the lions main steak was truly amazing, the mushroom skewers with pita and polenta side were both equally delicious - and I highly recommend the tiramisu. Wish I lived nearby (not back in Australia) and could go again!

Pros: Good, Service, Atmosphere

Absolutely outstanding experience!

The food was exceptional — every dish was packed with flavor, but the real star of the evening was the lion’s mane mushroom and the grilled cheese sandwich.

The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. You can really feel that the team cares about what they do.

The ambiance was beautiful — relaxed, inviting, and enhanced by the open-air outdoor grill, which added a wonderful aroma and atmosphere to the whole evening.

Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great vegan restaurant near Letná park

I had the mungo omelette and a homemade ginger beer, and both were delicious. Very friendly staff as well. Wish I had found this place sooner!

Favourite restaurant in Prague

Absolutely fantastic experience here. The restaurant is in a bit of an odd location - there doesn't seem to be much around it except an agricultural museum - but it's worth going out of your way for. It's a lovely, relaxed, but still upscale feeling inside. I had grilled carrots with white bean hummus for starter, and it was so much more delicious than it sounds. Then I had an omelette stuffed with leeks and other goodies. Amazing. My husband had the marinated lions mane steak and said it was the best steak he's ever had. We were stuffed afterwards, so we took a couple of their pastries away to have with coffee in the morning. They were also absolutely delicious. Honestly, I can't fault this place. The servers were charming, too. It's my favourite restaurant in Prague. I'd move to Prague just to go here more often.

Loved it

This is one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to in some time. We really loved everything we had: the quality of the cooking and seasoning was uniformly high. Based on our experience I’d recommend going on your first night in Prague, just so you can go back (unfortunately, we went on our last night so no more chances…). Had the fried polenta, the fasoldo soup, the kale oyster mushroom salad, the burger and a couple of deserts. Would order any of them again, but would love to try other stuff, too. Just great.

Creative and delicious menu

It was hard to choose what to order because the dishes are quite unique in their own ways.

The polenta croquettes are so yummy and the cucumbers (I could eat those all day!).

The lions mane steak was a masterpiece, and the gravy was SUPER rich. The oyster mushroom strips w/ kale salad had so many different flavors, each so very delicious.

I wish the lemonades were slightly less bitter and had more flavor like the pineapple could've used a bit more pineapple, same with the Brazilian (more coconut would've been nice). Otherwise they were unique and tasty drinks.

I want to give a very special mention to the mustard dressing and the cucumbers because their flavors are truly delicious and leave you only wanting to order more.

The staff was very friendly and even gave us a discount on the pastries that would've been left at the end of the evening.

Pros: Inventive menu, Friendly staff, Cute atmosphere

Good ideas but execution can be a bit hit and miss

May 25 - I finally tried something off the main menu. I got the lion's mane mushroom steak and it was a very tasty dish. The mushroom was well cooked and even 'bled' when you cut into it. The mustard and green sauce on top of the steak worked well. The beurre blanc sauce was tasty and the potatoes and asparagus were both tasty and well cooked. I did have some more specials too, the vine leaves starter was great but the rhubarb tart didn't really work for me. The iced caramel miso latte was a delicious drink. Overall, I think my title still stands.

***

Went for a Japanese special menu on a weekend and it was very good. The oyster mushroom kaarage were great, the batter was crisp and well seasoned. The main was a ramen that had a great broth but the toppings were a bit dull. There was a matcha soft serve for dessert which was pleasant without being too exciting, I felt a bit more sweetness would have been good.

***
I've been going to Chutnej since they first opened as a pizza and burger place and love how they have evolved over the years. The krafin bakery is great and was a desperately needed addition to the Prague vegan scene. I like that they're trying to do more upmarket vegan food when no one else in Prague really is whilst still keeping the pizzas going via Hot Plants.

I've been to the most recent iteration of the restaurant a couple of times for weekend brunch and had specials. I haven't tried the new regular menu yet. The first time they had a mushroom skewer/kebab thing on with salad, flatbread and hummus. This was very good on the whole, especially when you got some charred bits on the mushrooms. My partner and I also got a plate of pancakes to share which were good. I went for brunch again this weekend and was disappointed. They had a goulash on and the sauce didn't pack a good flavour and the meat pieces were really small. I also got an apple strudel for dessert. This came out stone cold and the filling just felt like eating a raw cake. The pastry was soggy and it was served with a bit of warm custard. I don't understand why the custard was warm but the strudel was not. It was so bad that I didn't even finish it. The Brazilian lemonade was very tasty at least.

Service wasn't great today either, it was difficult to get anyone's attention and we had to go to the counter to order dessert.

I'll go back and definitely try more things and hope that they are more hit than miss.

World class vegan food

I'm not going to mince words here: The food at Chutnej is absolutely world class. I've been to some of the most celebrated (and expensive) vegan restaurants in Europe, with or without Michelin stars. I would say that several of the dishes we had at Chutnej are in the same league, and surpasses some of it. Even though prices aren't even close to what you will have to pay at some of the fancier vegan restaurants elsewhere.

We were two people, and had two starters, two main dishes, and a Krafin ("croissant muffin") for dessert. The Krafin is made by another bakery, though, but strongly recommended.

Some of what we had was just mind blowing. The chefs at Chutnej have mastered things which can be difficult to achieve in cuisine. There were interesting textures - crunchiness and crispiness, occasionally chewiness, together with smooth sauces and dips. This kind of "textural contrast" not always easy to get right without meat and cheese. But what really struck me was how they were able to bring out and balance flavor. Lots of umami, for sure, but also just the right balance of sweetness and acidity and occasional hints of spiciness. I ate slowly, and just enjoyed how all the tastes came together.

Specifically on dishes: The lion's mane steak was sensational. Sensational! Probably one of the best vegan dishes I've ever tried .

The fried polenta sticks, as well, were superb. Best polenta dish I've tried for sure. And the marinated and baked carrots together with white bean hummus was also excellent. I had never imagined that marinated and baked carrots could taste this good.

The only thing which wasn't perfect were the fried oyster mushroom strips. They were slightly over-fried, meaning that the mushroom core "drowned" in the fried fattiness on the outside. I told the staff and they didn't get defensive, but noted it and told the kitchen. Also a plus in my book. This was in any case a minor gripe in an otherwise perfect meal.

Furthermore: The interiors are lovely, and the staff are super friendly. Whatever you do in Prague, do yourself a favor and visit this place.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Staff

Cons: Nothing

Must visit

We only came for a pastry but decided to stay for breakfast and I’ve got to say one of the best places we’ve eaten our whole trip. The iced caramel latte was the best I’ve ever had. I had the pancakes and my partner had the omelette and we gave them both a 10/10! Perfectly balanced food! We’d love to come again! They also serve vegan soft serve

Pros: Perfectly balanced food, Perfect coffee, Staff and interior look

The Interieur looks friendly like a forrest and welcomes you directly. The service is quick and very kind. Prices are a bit higher but worth every crown!

A hidden, must visit vegan restaurant near the castle

Loved this place. Great service, great food and relaxed vibes.
We had the lions mane steak and Mungo omelette. Oh and the soup to start, a lentil based one. See pics.
We took away a couple of cakes too which were soooo delicious. Don’t miss a chance to visit. One of the best places we’ve eaten at in Prague.
