Bratislava Restaurant Guide
Bratislava Cafés
While Bratislava's café culture lags slighty behind that of Vienna or Budapest, the city still boasts some excellent turn-of-the-20th-century coffee houses, along with café-cum-brasserie style premises that offer light lunches as well as traditional pastries, cakes and puddings.
Bratislava Restaurants, Bars & Pubs
Beer is very much the lifeblood of the Slovak society, with a rate of consumption that easily tops the world league table. Visit a typical Slovak pub (pivnice or hosposa) and you'll find simple wooden benches, beer sold by the half-litre, and an atmosphere that thankfully makes few concessions to foreign visitors. For wine drinkers, wine cellars (Vinaren) are the place to head, with good quality wines from the Modra area alongside cheaper, more potent offerings, that will almost certainly give you a hangover the next day!
Travel to Bratislava, venture into a Slovak bar and, along with beer and wine, you'll find a range of traditional spirits which include becherovka (an acquired taste), slivovice plum brandy (warming to say the least) and the French-invented, but now adopted absinthe (a hallucinogen in large doses).
Here is a short list of some of the best restaurants and food joints in Bratislava to sample the Slovak Republic's classic dishes and finest beers:
