Stare Mesto (Old Town)
Vegetarian
Vegetarians, you're in luck: the Czech Republic's best vegetarian restaurant just happens to be a five-minute walk from Old Town Square. Here, veg food is not viewed as a radical departure from other cuisines; indeed, most of the dishes, a mish-mash of global favorites, look and taste close to the originals, only without the meat. The interior design is attractive but a bit space-agey, with swoopy fabric light fixtures reminiscent of giant white mushrooms, which coincidentally turn up in many of the entrées.
