Maitrea

Staré Město


Maitrea (a Buddhist term meaning ‘the future Buddha’) is a beautifully designed space full of flowing curves and organic shapes, from the sensuous polished-oak furniture and fittings to the blossom-like lampshades. The menu is inventive and wholly vegetarian, with dishes such as Tex-Mex quesadillas, spicy goulash with wholemeal dumplings, and vegan svíčková (sirloin in cream sauce).
