Czech and vegetarianism go together like George Bush and intelligent behaviour. No, that's not a fair analogy; there are some examples of Czech vegetarian food. Vegetarianism is still comparatively new to the Czech Republic and you will get strange looks if you ask for a vegetarian option in many places outside Prague. Sometimes there is a 'bez maso' (without meat) section of a menu though this may contain fried cheese or other dishes with ham (ham is not a thick slab of meat so doesn't really count as meat). |

This spicy tofu with rice was pretty hot - and tasty. It was served up at Clear Head. Probably the best vegetarian restaurant in Prague. | |||
 |
More clear head food - this time mexican quesadillas. Very good food with some spicy tomato and guacamole sauces. Definitely not your typical Czech cuisine. | |||
 |
Smazeny syr - deep fried cheese in batter. Chefs normally use a Czech version of Edam though there is also a camembert-like cheese called 'hermelin' which is sometimes used. Be aware that that smazeny syr se sunkou is fried cheese with a slice of ham in it. |

 |
Deep fried potato cakes, with melted cheese on top and a small salad. Czechs do tend to fry at a high temperature so the food is not too greasy. |
