6 Best Places To Eat in Bratislava, Slovakia

Last month I visited Slovakia's capital city, Bratislava!

To be perfectly honest I went with low expectations as in my opinion, it is not a very popular tourist destination that I hear of many people visiting, however, my expectations were greatly exceeded. With its attractive sights, quirky vintage shops and its stunning cathedral, Bratislava has a lot to offer but the best part of my trip was of course the food.


I can honestly say there was not a single meal that I had in the five days I was there that wasn't exceptional and well above average, but if I told you about every single place I ate at this short post would turn into a novel, so instead I've selected the most memorable six...

6. Pollito Cheesecake

I am a lover of all things sweet (especially chocolate) meaning that I always have room for dessert and one of my favourite desserts of all time is cheesecake which is why it was imperative for me to visit Pollito. The cafe offered a small but an amazing selection of cheesecakes which I struggled to choose from but ended up opting for the chocolate and raspberry one which was topped with pomegranates and biscoff biscuit crumbs which I washed down with a fresh lemonade. 

5. KOUN

Before visiting Bratislava, I had read many reviews by tourists claiming that KOUN served "the best ice-cream in town" so, subsequently I went to decide for myself.

They were right.

With a great selection of surprising flavours (with vegan options) at a fairly cheap price, KOUN definitely managed to serve me the best ice-cream I've ever had! I went for the hazelnut flavour which tasted exactly like the inside of a Kinder Bueno (insert drooling emoji).

4. Five Points

I know this blog is supposed to be exclusively about food, however, the reason that Five Points has made it to this list is not to do with its food (although I did have a slice of their amazing cheesecake) but is because of their coffee. Five Points without a doubt provided me with the best cup of coffee I had during my time in Bratislava and no it isn't because my face was on it (although it was very cool). In addition to being the only place to serve a 'selfiecinno', Five Points was also the only place that seemed to serve one of my favourite cocktails- a White Russian, which is also why it has made it on this list.

3.  Urban House

Similarly to KOUN, Urban House is a restaurant that is branded by most tourists as a "must visit"and so I listened to the majority and paid it a visit. Once again the reviews were absolutely spot-on as Urban House was everything I expected it to be and more. With its chilled/laid-back atmosphere, trendy decor and delicious food and cocktails, its somewhere I could visit regularly and repeatedly and it would definitely be my go-to restaurant if it existed in Glasgow.

I ordered the ''NDUJA Pizza" (pizza topped with spicy sausage, mascarpone, baby mozzarella, rocket, grana padano and garlic oil) and a frozen mango daiquiri. Everything was amazing and was a solid 10/10. Although I didn't have them, the coffee and brunch dishes also looked amazing and many people rave about them!

2. Street Food & Cafe Possonium

The Street Food & Cafe Possonium offers a variety of different street food options and a bar service with indoor and outdoor seating. It is also connected to a hostel which is where I actually stayed for the duration of my visit which I would also recommend if your looking for cheap and clean accommodation in Bratislava.

Most importantly however, the food was out of this world!

I have consumed MANY burgers in my 20 years of life and I can say without a doubt that this was the best burger I haver ever I had - I promise! So good in fact I squeezed in time for one before heading to the airport to go home. 

In addition to being delicious, the food is also relatively cheap and prepared quickly which is always a bonus!

1. Mondieu

Mondieu is well known in Bratislava for its amazing coffee and its wide variety of delicious breakfast dishes which I had the pleasure of trying a couple of times during my stay in the city. There are multiple Mondieu bistros located in Bratislava's Old Town with the menus slightly varying in each.

The first time I went I had sweet french toast topped with berries, maple syrup, icing sugar and fresh cream and it was unreal and I actually managed to finish the full thing despite the large portion size.


On my second visit I opted for a healthier option as I got a smoothie bowl which was the first one I had ever had and it was really good and surprisingly filling.

I also had their freshly squeezed orange juice both times and it was honestly incredible!

The desserts also looked AMAZING but I sadly never got the chance to try them.







If you haven't been to Bratislava I strongly recommend you consider paying it a visit as it truly is a beautiful city with incredible food! Should you find yourself there, I suggest you try some of the places on this list as they really were some of the best places I have ever eaten at!

Until Friday,
