If this is the case for you, then come to Manifesto Anděl and see our plant-based options! We offer a variety of delicious vegetarian dishes from cuisines around the globe for you to try. Even if you’re a meat lover, you won’t want to pass on these veggie options!

 1. Vegetable masala and kathi rolls | Naan & Curry

The kathi rolls are filled with paneer cheese, which is also known as Indian cottage cheese to be vegetarian friendly!

2. Bibimbap, kimbap, and kimchi | 밥 Bab;rýže

If you’re looking for a hearty veggie option that is filling, look no further! Try Bab;rýže’s plant-based bibimbap that contains rice, assorted vegetables, and a fried egg on top with a spicy red chili sauce. In Korean, ‘bibim’ means mix, and ‘bap’ means rice, so bibimbap literally means mixed rice, which refers to how you eat the dish by mixing all the ingredients together. Another popular Korean vegetarian dish that you can try is kimbap, which includes rice and strips of vegetables rolled in dried seaweed, and sliced into bite-sized pieces. If you’re feeling adventurous, also try some kimchi! Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish of spicy fermented vegetables such as cabbage and radishes. Kimchi is a staple for Korean cuisine, so give it a try with your bibimbap or kimbap!

This plant-based gyoza will be a great choice for vegetarian options in Prague.

4. Tofu Shoyu and Avocado Boom poké bowls | NAPOKĒ
