Wow! I am a dedicated carnivore, or at least omnivore but Lehká hlava (rough English translation is Clear Head),a vegetarian restaurant in Prague, is one of the best restaurants (combination of taste and value) I have ever visited, anywhere or anytime. Really!
We came for lunch after a morning at Prague's Communist Museum, also a must see. The 15 minute walk skirted the tourist craziness of Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square and helped our party of five, including two dedicated pescatarians/vegetarians work up a big appetite.
We started with the "Little Clear Head," an appetizer sampler including hummus, feta cream, sun-dried tomato and peanut pesto, green olives and a small salad. We also ordered a small guacamole dip. The dips were all super fresh and accompanied by wonderful Czech bread for dipping. It was a auspicious beginning.
For entrees, two of our party ordered beet root burgers, one ordered veggie kabobs, one had a ratatouille special and the last had a toasted goat cheese salad. All were outstanding! The beet root burger was simply the best veggie burger I've ever had, huge, crispy and fresh with a nice side salad. ( While I ate the whole burger, my daughter said it was easily large enough to share.). The grilled goat cheese was delicious ; the salad greens were good but not distinguished. The ratatouille was delicious and just the right size. The veggie kabob was roasted to perfection, particularly the tofu, and came with a delicious barbecue sauce. It also came with potatoes au gratin, that rivaled many of the restaurants we visited in France in the first leg of our trip.
For drinks, I had a crisp Czech Pinot Gris, a daughter had a Pilsner, and we had one ginger lemonade and one carrot-ginger-apple juice. Being Americans, we asked for ice for the lemonade and juice and they were great cold.
The price for all this was 1380 KC, less than $70.00!!!!
From a quality perspective, Clear Head rivals Greens in SF at food truck prices. A meal here is definitely deserving of deviating from the beaten path on any visit to Prague!
