When I first started planning my weekend trip to Brno, I was genuinely excited by how many fully vegan restaurants in Brno there are. For a place its size, Brno seemed like a plant-based dream, modern cafés, creative menus, and lots of variety.

But once I arrived, I quickly discovered something that surprised me: many of Brno’s vegan restaurants are closed on weekends. Some still open on Saturdays, but not all.

I visited almost every fully vegan spot in the city open on the weekend and added notes on the ones I missed. Whether you’re in Brno for a weekend or a longer stay, this guide will help you find the best vegan food in Brno.

Table of Contents

1. FRYENDS

Cozy and minimalist café interior with light wooden tables, padded chairs, and a long cushioned bench along a pale wall decorated with textiles and plants; large windows overlook a quiet patio with potted cacti.

A vibrant plate of crepes topped with bright blue sauce, shredded coconut, and red fruit crisps is served alongside a frothy cinnamon-dusted drink and a layered slice of carrot cake garnished with a golden berry.

I found FRYENDS recommended as a great spot for vegan brunch. The entrance is easy to miss, just a small doorway, but once inside, it opens up into a bright, spacious café with a cute little courtyard and some outdoor seating.

We tried the avocado bread and Czech-style pancakes, which were beautifully presented but the breakfast options were quite limited. I’d actually recommend FRYENDS more as a lunch spot, when their menu really shines.

📍 Česká 31
🕒 Closed on Sundays

2. VEGALITÉ

A traditional Czech dish gets a vegan twist—five fluffy potato dumplings filled with savory lentil mixture, served with caramelized onions, fresh herbs, and red cabbage on a white plate inside a casual pub setting. — Traditional Czech dumplings with red cabbage

If you’re looking for vegan versions of traditional Czech food, VEGALITÉ is the place to go. I had the stuffed dumplings with red cabbage, and it was honestly one of the best meals of the trip, flavorful, filling, and super satisfying.

The restaurant is located down a staircase in a cellar, so it has a dark, edgy vibe with sticker-covered walls and no natural light. Because of that, I’d recommend it more for dinner than lunch, it just feels more atmospheric in the evening.

They sometimes host live music at night, but keep in mind that when there’s a concert, you’ll need a separate ticket and the kitchen may be closed.

📍 Slovákova 359 /10
🕒 Closed on Sundays

3. Vegan AF Ramen

Two colorful bowls of vegan ramen packed with toppings—shiitake mushrooms, seaweed, edamame, lotus root, bok choy, and a bright yellow egg substitute—set on a vibrant, rustic wooden table. — Great if you’re in the mood for ramen

Interior of a modern ramen restaurant with exposed brick arches and whimsical cloud-like ceiling lights glowing in shades of blue, purple, and yellow; simple wooden tables and black chairs are arranged neatly across the tiled floor. — Great if you’re in the mood for ramen

Located in a stylish underground space, Vegan AF Ramen is one of Brno’s top vegan spots. We went there on our first night, and all the tables were booked, so we had to wait at the entrance for one to open up. If you’re going in the evening, make a reservation.

The ramen bowls are rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My non-vegan friend said it was one of the best ramen dishes she’s ever had. For me, the flavors were almost a little too intense, but that’s just personal taste, since I usually cook with less seasoning.

📍 Marešova 305/14
🕒 Closed on Sundays

4. Lákavá kavárna

A cozy café table spread featuring a cinnamon roll, an almond Danish pastry, a foamy latte with latte art, and a bottle of Wostok pomegranate-date soda. The rustic setting adds to the laid-back, homey vibe.

A little outside the city center, Lákavá kavárna is a cozy café that’s totally worth the walk, especially if you’re already exploring the nearby street art scene. For me, hunting for street art was one of the best things on my Brno trip, and this café was the perfect stop along the way.

They serve vegan sandwiches and have a great cake selection, with a warm, relaxed atmosphere that’s ideal for a slow morning or afternoon break.

📍 Merhautova 449/44
🕒 Open every day

5. Základna Tři Ocásci

Cozy interior of a vegan-friendly café and community space with exposed brick arches, mismatched wooden tables and chairs, and colorful books arranged on wooden shelves; armchairs and soft lighting add a homey, relaxed vibe.

We stumbled upon Základna Tři Ocásci by chance, and I’m so glad we did. There were people sitting outside, a wood-fired pizza oven, and a relaxed vibe that drew us in. Turns out, it was a weekend pop-up pizza event, and the food was great.

This spot is located underground (with a few small windows) and has a rotating menu during the week. On weekends, they often host pop-up events and community gatherings, so it’s a bit of a hit-or-miss if you don’t check ahead.

⚠️ They only accept cash (Czech Crowns), and they don’t list their hours on Google Maps.

📍 tř. Kpt. Jaroše 1935/18
🕒 Unpredictable hours (check Facebook before going)

6. Veg8Café

I didn’t make it to Veg8Café because it’s closed during my weekend trip to Brno, but it’s definitely on my list for a future visit. Located a bit outside the city center, this spot is known for its healthy, affordable lunch menus.

They offer a daily changing lunch menu with one soup and two mains to choose from, plus a selection of cakes. At just 160 CZK (around €6.50) for soup and a main, it’s a fantastic option if you’re in Brno during the week.

📍 45 150 Křenová Trnitá
🕒 Weekday breakfast and lunch only

7. Pizza Punk

Pizza Punk has the best vegan pizza in Brno. They have just a handful of options but they’ve perfected those. They offer four regular pizzas plus two weekly specials.

The indoor space is tiny, so seating can be limited, but if you don’t find a spot, just grab your pizza to go and enjoy it on one of the nearby squares.

📍 6, Jana Uhra 164
🕒 Open every day

8. Café In The Ghetto

Café In The Ghetto is a cozy, welcoming spot that blends café, bar, and community space. It has a homey, alternative vibe, and serves a changing daily menu, along with drinks and desserts.

They’re known for hosting exhibitions and cultural events, and they’re operated by a nonprofit social enterprise. The café also provides training opportunities for people transitioning into the workforce.

📍 Bratislavská 243/65
🕒 Closed on the weekends

9. Restaurace Zdravý Život

Restaurace Zdravý Život is a fully vegan buffet-style restaurant that’s great for a quick and flexible midweek lunch. You pay by weight, so you can try a variety of dishes without committing to a full plate.

The food is based on macrobiotic principles and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and while reviews are mostly positive, a few people mention that the food could be hotter.

⚠️ Watch out: While the food is 100% vegan, they do serve cow’s milk with coffee.

📍 Jaselská 194
🕒 Weekday lunch only

10. Forky’s Galerie Vaňkovka

Forky’s used to be a big name in the vegan world, with locations in multiple countries, but most of their branches have since closed. This Brno location inside the Galerie Vaňkovka mall is one of the few still open.

While they once had a great reputation, they now get very mixed reviews, and it seems the quality has gone down in recent years. If you’re nearby and looking for something quick and convenient, it might be worth a try, but it’s definitely not worth a detour.

📍 Ve Vaňkovce 1
🕒 Open daily

A charming orange Piaggio-style ice cream cart, branded "Božský Kopeček," serves vegan gelato in a park. The vintage-style cart is shaded by a white canopy, with chalkboard menus and cheerful vendors on a sunny day. — Vegan ice cream truck

Final Thoughts: Is Brno Good for Vegans?

Brno’s vegan scene is small but strong, creative, affordable, and definitely worth exploring. And since many non-vegan restaurants don’t have plant-based options, sticking to fully vegan places is your best bet. Just remember that many spots close on Sundays, so plan ahead.

In summer, don’t miss the vegan ice cream vendor at Moravian Square Park (toward Rašínova Street).
