One of the most popular vegetarian restaurant resources online, Happycow.net has been providing listings for vegan, vegetarian, and vegetarian-friendly restaurants across the world for the past 15+ years.

Their annual list of the ten most vegan-friendly cities worldwide is determined by three factors: the number of vegan restaurants in a 5-mile radius in the most vegan restaurant-dense area in each city, the number of vegan/vegetarian/veg-option restaurants in the same 5-mile radius, and over-all “vegan-friendliness of the city.”

The Czech capital has once again been named among the world’s most vegan-friendly cities joining the ranks of London, (#1), Berlin (#2), and New York (#3).

Ranking at #9 the site calls Prague a herbivore heaven:

“With a population of only 1.26 million people, Prague comes up in the top 5 of most vegan restaurants per capita in the world.” 

The list also points out that Prague’s vegan scene is rapidly growing with a number of dynamic new vegan restaurants popping up in Prague over the past couple of years encompassing everything from a vegan donut shop to a socially conscious vegan cafe that employees disadvantaged workers, name-checking a number of local eateries.
