Bistro Slunicko - Karlovy Vary

I was so glad to find this place in K. Vary! Was looking for place where I could eat vegan meal with not much of a Hassle and my family member their not veg food. All places around are ridiculously expensive, so the search for this random Eßerei/Kantina with so many vegan options was total explosion! It is the right Czech cheap fast food, as we used to know before American style fast foods. It could not be the tourist friendly place, not assume that an employee speaks English. The offer on one day of my visit was: Chili sin carne(GF , veg cous cous, ratatouille type of thing with chickpeas (gf , baked beetroot salad(gf , rainbow veg(damped frozen veg blend of carrots, peas and maize so typical school cantina food (gf , two potato caulike) Bit over 200czk

Doesn't look vegan friendly at all, greasy meat served everywhere side by side, impossible to say if something is actually vegan, would not trust this place, so not even asked. Hadn't seen a single thing that might look vegan.

I was thrilled to discover this restaurant in K. Vary! I was looking for a place where I could enjoy a vegan meal without any hassle, while my family members could still have their non-vegan options. All the other places nearby were incredibly expensive, so stumbling upon this casual dining spot with a wide range of vegan choices was a pleasant surprise. The food is authentically Czech and affordable, reminiscent of traditional Czech cuisine rather than Americanized dishes. It may not be the most tourist-friendly spot, so don't expect all the staff to speak English. On the day of my visit, the menu included options like chili sin carne (gluten-free), vegetable couscous, ratatouille with chickpeas (gluten-free), baked beetroot salad (gluten-free), and rainbow vegetables (a blend of smoothed frozen vegetables like carrots, peas, and corn - a classic cantina dish).

The service was not pleasant, prices were very high, and there were no vegan options except for vegetables and potatoes. Welcome.

We arrived at the restaurant around noon, with still four hours until closing time, hoping to have lunch. Unfortunately, when we tried to order some of the marked vegan items, we were informed that they were not being prepared at the moment or were sold out, possibly due to a language barrier. None of the items we attempted to order were available except for one meal - plain white rice with broccoli and cold tofu drizzled in maple syrup. It was one of the most unappetizing dishes I have ever tried, and I couldn't even bring myself to finish it, despite being hungry. I would not recommend returning to this restaurant. For a better dining experience in this small town, I suggest trying Dobra Cajovna, where the meals are tasty and the service is friendly. Additionally, they had what appeared to be animal fur blankets on the benches, which made me uncomfortable (even if they were fake, there is still uncertainty about the materials used).
