The food here is really great! You can take whatever you want and then weigh your plate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Try the fruit salad for the dessert, is amazing!

100% Vegan!!! - Edit
I was surprised this wasn't listed with the Vegan marker when they told me it everything was vegan. I read many of the reviews below so I'm assuming that is the case. First off, price is so low!!! Its part of a grocery store and I guess they don't mark up the produce??? We had two full plates and a soup for 12$. The food is great, exactly what the doctor ordered, low fat, vegan, tons of grains, hot and cold dishes and nice healthier desserts. If I lived in Prague I'd probably eat here every day!!! Plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating as well right near the Astronomical Clock in Old Town, perfect place for lunch during your sight seeing! Doesn't get better than this!!!

Wholesome meal - Edit
Since the last time I visited Prague 3 years ago, Country Life has not changed and is still very good. There are many options in buffet style and the food is well-priced. It is popular, so often sharing a table, which is good for people watching and socializing, but the busy-ness can be a bit distracting from a calm meal.

Cons: buffet, busy

Yummy - Edit
This place is great for a healthy & tasty lunch. It is very reasonably priced and as said before you pay by food by weight which means you can have as little or much as you want. There is a big salad bar & a selection of hot food too.
Read morePros: good food, no smoking

Fantastic Vegan Desserts - Edit
Everything is completely vegan in this restaurant. They serve cheap, hearty, traditional-ish Czech food.
Read moreThe desserts were so great. It is true that many taste "healthy" (for lack of a better term) but their creamy, custardy and fruit desserts are simply delicious.
There is also a great little health food store next door which sells some vegan baked goods as well as soy yogurt, fruits, vegetables, etc.
Pros: All vegan, Great desserts, Hearty and cheap

Great vegan food - Edit
Went here on a busy lunchtime but lots of seating so no problem. Amazing array of food (I was told it was all vegan), burgers, salads, hot dishes and fantastic desserts... the vegan 'cream' horn was to die for. My partner claimed his food was tasteless (a Pumpkin/Quinoa bake) but I think this was a one off as everything I had was wonderful.
Read morePros: Fantastic choice for vegans, Great vegan desserts
Cons: Tasteless Pumpkin bake!!

Great food! - Edit
A healthy vegetarian buffet with many vegan options! What more can we ask for? Very reasonably priced. Offers a wide variety of salad bar, hot dishes and some pre-made burgers and sandwiches. The soup was excellent. There was a wide variety of desserts as well which we couldn't eat at that time as we were already full and hence did a take away. Everything was awesome and very healthy. A great place to go again n again if I had lived in Prague.
Read morePros: Reasonable price, great food & variety, Excellent location

Best Deal in Prague! - Edit
In a city of overpriced, meat-laden food, what a fabulous find. Bargain prices and super variety of all vegan food. It was great. Desserts were not impressive and the guy next to us said the vegan ice cream was really bad, so skip that. But all the "loaf" food we had and all the veggie dishes were sooo good.
Read morePros: great prices
Cons: closed on Saturday, ??

i - Edit
what's better than a healthy vegetarian buffet, nothing that's what, and Country Life was certainly a delicious vegetarian buffet. they offered quite a few options for raw salad bar, hot dishes, and pre-made sandwiches. the veggie patty and curry (i think it was curry) vegetables stood out for me - very tasty. everything was really good and very healthy. oh they also had an extremely interesting version of a coconut date for dessert, i loved it. they had other more exciting looking desserts but i didn't try them. i would eat here every day if i lived in prague :)
Read morePros: healthy, great variety, delicious!

I love this place! - Edit
If i happen to go to Prague i always end up at the country life restaurant after i bought some cheap smoked tofu at the Tesco some streets away and cheap tofuspread at the wholefood store in front. Actually i can't remember how often i went there but nearly 10 times i guess. you get food by weight with lots of choices. i love to create my own dishes and to try everything. the place is packed during lunch and the deserts always gave me the rest. Mindblowing!

Eclectic, nice, not too vegan-friendly - Edit
This buffet-style place has a nice bio-organic air, and is right in the centre of town. The food is good, especially some of the burgers, but it's hard to figure out what's vegan and what not, and the lack of English speakers in the staff is clearly felt.
Read morePrices are reasonable, but buffet is never too much fun.
This place can be good a a light lunch in a day of touring the old town.
Pros: good location, some good food
Cons: buffet, no marks for vegan food

Many of the other reviews seem to be saying that this place is either vegan or largely vegan yet this review says otherwise. Was this person confused? Can anyone explain?

Best vegan food in the city - Edit
Living in Prague I eat at Country Life about 3 or 4 times a week, and it is completely worth the 25 minute commute from my home. The food is always delicious, with a very wide selection with never a day the same in all the time I have gone. There is plenty of fake meat, along with hot vegetables, daily soups, and lots of grains. The couscous burgers are something everyone, especially picky omnis, should try (they've been dyed with beet to look authentic)! Yummy, and inexpensive for foreigners (Czechs may disagree!).
Read morePros: excellent food, non-smoking, vegan
Cons: Not a lot of non-soy food

long time gem - Edit
ive been to this resaurant several times several years apart. it is a true gem in this city, its exciting to go... not as cheap as the rest of the city but still good. almost everything is really good, but a few things dry sitting out on the buffet heaters. definatly go here, grab a plate, load it up, cause in prauge there is nothing else like it... if your into this place check out at least the one other restaurant location in london (if its still there?)... there may be others too, for some reason its sort of a chain restaurant but they are linked together very poorly

Super stodge - Edit
If it's cold and you want some warming stodge then Country Life is your best bet. Also have a good salad bar and some good soups as well as pre-made sandwiches if you need something in a hurry. It's not terrible but it's not the best and the staff we encountered were fairly lax.
Read morePros: Pretty cheap, Warming and filling
Cons: A bit hit and miss in terms of quality, Staff attitude
