2 Best Restaurants in Bratislava, Slovakia

It may look unassuming from the street, but step inside and it becomes immediately apparent why this is considered one of Europe's most beautiful cafés. The walls and ceilings throughout the interior are plastered in majestic Renaissance-style frescoes, while seemingly every nook and cranny of the old building is filled with antiques, some dating back to the 16th century. It's such a gorgeous interior, there's an entrance fee (€10 per person), although this does include a coffee and a cake. Fortunately the dining experience measures up to the decor, with bone china tea service and elegant patisserie.

Melt-in-the-mouth eco-farm beef, crunchy double-cooked fries, and crisp craft beers are the order of the day at this excellent burger joint. There are half a dozen burger options to choose from, including veggie mushroom and vegan patty ones; all are cooked medium as standard and served with tasty sides like rosemary or garlic fries, kimchi, and coleslaw. It may be out of the city center but this place is seriously popular at lunch and dinner, so either book ahead or come early.
