Penzion Timea: Roasted pigs, lambs

by matcrazy1

In mountainous areas of northern and eastern Slovakia you can order roasted small pig or a lamb. Enough food hmm... rather for at least 8-10 hungry persons. Where?In few local restaurants, hotels and in many pensions and/or "chata" (cottages).When?Remember to order an animal in advance that is a few days before. They must find, kill and prepare the animal for you, first bake in an oven and finally on a grill.How?Call them and ask, fix price. Hmm... they usually can speak exclusively... Slovak.Usually there was no kitchen for preparing food either in pensions and in "chata". I could eat breakfasts, lunches and diners in my hotel (restaurant), pension or "chata" (dining room). In Penzion Timea in Zuberec, local, home-made dishes were cheap and simple no-one complained as they were very good. Additionaly we bought beer in a local grocery and... drank it there. The best was small, roasted...

Restaurant in Dolne Vestenice

by Neit

Going to the Czech Republic frontier, we stopped to lunch in the main road of Dolne Vestenice. It was a quite weird place, in and out of the restaurant, all decorated with typical objects of the country in a 'horror vacui' manner. We called to the door, that it was locked, and we were invited to enter. At first I was a bit reluctant to go inside (if someone see the place would understand me) but finally it was a great experience. Delicious food and atmosphere.

Koilba Coral: Real Local food

by BruceDunning

The restaurant was near the middle of Slovakia on the highway. The area in new and this building is built out of all intricate detail woods. They did a super job of the artwork inbedded into the building. The food was good local custom. I had variety of pierogi with cabbage cracklin pork and sweet cabbage. It was good.

Restaurant Without A Name": What an experience!

by lmkluque

At the moment the name of the restaurant escapes me--a Freudian slip? Maybe. It was the only restaurant, in Czechoslovakia, I tried and it most likely was not a good example as an only experience even during that time in history, but I'll share it anyway.This restaurant was located somewhere along the road to the Kosice airport quite a few miles away. My father had asked me over the phone, when I called to say that I had arrived, if I had eaten Halusky, I asked the family if anything served so far was called Halusky. No they said, and on the way to the airport, we stopped at a restaurant, they said, because my father wanted me to have Halusky.The building sat on a flat piece of land in a hilly area. There were no signs or advertisement to indicate that it might be a restaurant. The one story building was standing alone, off the road and we pulled into the area that served as a parking...

Restaurant Toliar: What to eat?

by matcrazy1

Traditional Slovak food was available in this restaurant in Oravsky Podzamok. We ate lunch there in September 2003, hmm... not the best to be honest. The Slovak diet relies mainly on pork. I found Slovak cuisine quite good and more spicy than Czech or Polish one. Various kinds of roasted meat dominated.The most popular traditional dishes were: 1. BRYNZOVE HALUSKY - a serving of dumplings with melted sheep cheese and fried bacon sprinkled on the top. It's the national dish of Slovak Republic and it is usually the least expensive menu item. Sometimes, for some reason, they were listed in... the dessert section. 2. STARPACKY S KAPUSTOU - dumplings with cabbage and sometimes bacon.3. BRAVCOVY REZEN - breaded and fried pork steak,4. GULAS - Goulash (originally Hungarian dish, I mean Segedinsky gulas)5. PALACINKY - crepe pancakes filled with jam.Other dishes we ordered in the above...

Various: hostinec, jadalne, lahodka...: Where to eat?

by matcrazy1

Hmm... it was not so easy to find good restaurant with good food in Slovakia. At least it was always more difficult for me than in both Poland and Czech. And the choice was very limited, I mean not many non-Slovak food restaurants to choose from, maybe except Bratislava and pizzerias. Except larger cities it's often difficult to find anything more than local, countryside "hostinec" with only local spirits and beer served. Additionaly I found restaurants in smaller towns often closed in the evenings. They were hired by natives for parties. Luckily restaurants in hotels (2-3 stars) were opened till 10pm, but food was usually served till 9pm there.My classificasion of places to eat/drink in Slovakia:Restauracia = restaurant,Jedalne = dining-room, "eating-house",Koliba = local restaurant, inn (sometimes not so local in real),Lahodka, bistro = fast food bar,Pizzeria = pizzeria,Vinaren = wine...

Matej: Eat in Banska Stiavnica

by zaffaran

A very nice restaurant in the city centre, we rushed to the table on the balcony, so we didn't see if the interior was big. Efficient staff and yummy food (decent portions) . Nice tables behind the flowers. Not expensive.There's also a guest-house in the same building (penzion) Oh, I really don't remember what we ordered but it tasted really very good.

Babicka (Grandma): Some delicious dessert...

by zaffaran

When you are in Bardejov and you have just had your breakfast in lahodky it's a good idea to have some coffee and freshly baked cake. My absolute must is always a piece (sometimes 2 pieces!) of "strudel" ; it's a kind of cake with apples.DELICIOUS!

Lahodky: Something for breakfast?

by zaffaran

Recommending LAHODKY I don't mean a particular restaurant or cafe, this is a kind of shop which can be found in every even small town. There one can have different types of salads, freshly made sandwiches, very often cakes and drinks and everything is at reasonable prices. My favourite dish is egg salad and ham in jelly.
