amazing burgers:
Burgers tend to get sold out so go early or make a reservation.
Locals line up for what is widely known as the best burger in town. Interest piqued, we made a reservation to come back the next day to see what the big deal was.
We weren’t disappointed. Reservations are only possible after 2:00 p.m., as you cannot book a table during lunch. So, have a late breakfast and book yourself a table for after 2:00 to make sure they still have a burger when you arrive

very tasty local food - and they make their own beer! what would one want more?
Located in a calmer street of the city center, Mestiansky pivovar is a pub of huge size, great cuisine and delicious tank beer. Combination of wooden furniture, snow-white walls connecting the floor with the high ceiling, and black & white photographs and boards makes you feel very comfy and you get hungry for food the moment you walk in :) First thing you are going to see after entering is a big bar. There will be a waiter to help you find a place. There are more rooms to sit, all furnished in one style – everything wooden. In the backside the beer tanks are kept. We really like the big black & white photographs

all types of crepes - really nice and when one wants to eat something thats not too hearty.
Do you like pancakes? Salty or sweet ones? With flour or rather gluten free? We found a new kid on the block! Pancake eatery Pan Cakes a jeho palacinky (translated as Mr Cakes and his pancakes)
We were excited to hear there is a new place specialized only in pancakes. In the gourmet world, it is believed that the narrower the menu is, the bigger relish and culinary experience it brings. The good news is there is nothing else to eat on the menu, just pancakes! And how nice they taste, you either have to try or trust our words.

nice calm atmosphere where one sits under the trees.
healthy but delicious, calm atmosphere where one sits under the trees also - is not just an ordinary café. It is a juice bar, bread and coffee shop, bar, and restaurant all in one fantastic Old Town location. In the mornings, the smell of freshly baked sourdough bread and specialty brewed coffee will capture your attention and lure you in. If you’re hungry, order an egg sandwich or snack on a crunchy oat cake with blueberries. Sip a chai latte, a flat white, or a cold drip coffee while people watching at a table along the street or lounging indoors and looking out of the big windows.

atmosphere of the old traditional Slovak inn with a lot of traditional stuff --- very touristy --- BEST thing there is šulance (potato dough rolled into thick strings) with butter, sugar and either poppy seeds or walnuts (I prefer walnuts) - its eaten warm and is heavenly.

Wander through the narrow cobbled streets and you’ll find Prašná Bašta, serving authentic Slovakian food. Fittingly located in the Old Town of Bratislava, this restaurant is situated in a beautiful 16th Century building - the former bastion. The menu is focused on pork dishes but also a reasonably large vegetarian section, offering four vegetarian dishes. They even have a substantial list of desserts, including a goats cheese and pear dish. This restaurant is the perfect blend of hearty Slovakian food and a relaxed ambience.

Kapucino is a cute café with wonderful, locally handmade macarons (biggest in the city!), great Italian coffee and one of the best Italian gelato we have had in Bratislava. During the winter, the ice-cream is replaced by the seasonal hot chocolate which is semi-dark and truly rich and creamy. This hot chocolate had an amazing texture – exactly the way we love it.

For a cup of thick and splendid Belgian hot chocolate, you can also pay a visit to the hip W Cafe located near to the main bus station. You can choose milk, dark or white chocolate, and they also offer chili, mint or nuts with it if you feel like having your choco with a taste of something else. Other than hot chocolate, their menu includes several special hot drinks – mixtures of Slovak spirits, wines and juices, for the fans of sweeter and fragrant tastes.

This family-owned bakery has simple deliciousness nailed. It focuses on the tasty cakes made out of high-quality fresh and local ingredients. Real butter, seasonal fruits and other ingredients from the local farmers are the basis of its success. Fertucha serves classics but with a modern twist – we love this place for its honest, authentic offerings. Its specialization are the whole cakes including a bunch of various cheesecakes rather than the individually-sized cakes.

Le Miam is the dream coming true of a young Slovak girl Barbora who brings a piece of genuine flavor of Paris to our capital.

You will find real French desserts, mini cakes, but also grande desserts, macarons and mini macarons at Le Miam.

When you read local discussions about the best real Slovak cakes, Pasteleria will come out as a winner with the highest number of mentions. This place is run by a young welcoming guy and the cakes are baked by his mom – which means that they do not only taste like made by a Slovak mom but are actually baked by one:) We love such family businesses! You will find mostly the Slovak classics here and their execution is perfect. A central location in a courtyard of the Panska Street in the Old Town makes this place easily accessible. Check out their lovely terrace which gives us Tuscan vibes:)

Pollito‘s specialization are the cheesecakes. Hand-made, delicious and with various flavours. For us, it has become synonymous with the New York–style cheesecake itself. We were blown away with its freshness, light texture and distinct flavour. The central location on Laurinska Street makes this place an ideal stop during the city strolls.

In New York City – and Chicago, Oakland, and Portland, for that matter – obsession with “the best donut in town” is serious business. Bakers arrive at dawn to proof the dough and bake and glaze all through the afternoon. The lines start early, patrons of acclaimed donut shops queued up on what feels like every street corner, ritualizing the morning’s first bite of airy, yeasty, pleasantly rich pastry with strong coffee and light conversation.
When Peter, the owner of La Donuteria, experienced this during his travels to the U.S., he knew Bratislava was next in line for a city where donuts are serious business. In the summer of 2016 he and his team set out to build the best donut shop on town

A fantastic ice-cream stand with a cheerful and colorful terrace in the very city center at Panská Street! They sell rich and creamy ice-cream in which you can taste real fruits and ingredients! No powdery taste at all, just intense flavours. The lady serving here is very nice and professional and so far we have not encountered any problems with the waiting lines – you will get a big portion of delicious ice-cream quickly and with a smile. We loved mango, pistachio and poppyseed flavours but it is hard to tell, as all are amazing! Vegans will find options here as well, they are nicely marked. And they also have cool black cones!

If you feel like having something unique from the ice-cream category, then definitely go for these wonderful fruity popsicles. Their natural taste full of fruits with refreshing and energizing effect will bring you pleasure from the very first moment. Marinela is a tiny gelato place close to the Blumental church. It makes its customers smile with originally shaped popsicles and gives them their daily fruity boost. Only the fruits account for the richness of colours, with no artificial flavours added. The suppliers of the ingredients are carefully chosen and the owners, a likeable couple who graduated from a Gelato University in Bologna, follow the latest gelato trends by attending internatio

This ice-cream place is fairly new and already made it to the list of top ice-cream spots for us. Why is it so? It offers wide range of very original and authentic flavours and is not afraid to experiment with them. They serve gelato not with scoops but by spatula. The portions are really big – we had problems finishing our usual 2 scoops. The texture of ice-cream is great, vegan sorbets taste wonderful and creamy flavours are indeed creamy. There are quite many seats inside as well as outside, so you should have no problem to find a place for yourself.

It is located at the Hviezdoslav’s square in the city center so most of the times there is a long queue of people waiting to get their sweet treat.
