Restaurants in Bratislava

Not surprisingly, the Slovak capital has some of the best restaurants in the country, ranging from simple traditional eateries to elaborate high class dining establishments, and running the gamut from Slovak to international cuisine.

The restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over €40)
Moderate (€15 to €40)
Cheap (up to €15)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one, including half a bottle of wine or equivalent, plus tax and tip (usually 10% of the total bill).
