• Eating out in Bratislava

Whether you’re looking to sample some traditional Slovakian fare or if you want a more internationally flavoured meal, you’ll find somewhere to quench your appetite here.

Throughout Bratislava you’ll come across a wide variety of cafés, bistros and restaurants. Many of these can be found in the Old Town area, with a number of eateries stretched out along the connecting streets of Panská and Laurinská. A couple of restaurants to check out here are Verdict and the Upside Down Steakhouse.

You’ll also find some great places to check out along one side of Hviezdoslavovo námestie, a long square that’s also home to the Slovak National Theatre. Head to Bratislava’s main shopping stretch Obchodná to find even more choices for your breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here you'll come across Bella Napoli, an Italian restaurant offering great value on large and tasty pizzas, along with numerous other dishes.

If you do wish to try a local speciality, why not have a taste of some ‘bryndzové pirohy’. These are a type of dumpling filled with cheese and available in a variety of different flavours and sauces.

And the Verdict is...

Perfect for a cheap and tasty lunch, Verdict offers outdoor seating on a shaded deck area. Prompt service is provided by friendly staff. Slovakian specialities such as 'bryndzové pirohy', a type of dumpling (pictured), are available. Open Sun-Thurs 11am-12am, Fri & Sat 11am-1am.
