Beef tartare served with bread and garlic

Traditional Slovakian restaurant, with a good food choice for real local price. You can easily watch some games there, and can go with a large crowd, their tables can host 10+ groups. Probably not the most comfortable or quiet place for a date, but a good local address for a real Slovakian meal with friends.

Got a car, and in Bratislava ? Then do a small detour to visit this World War 2 bunker, at the border with Austria. Well preserved, the outdoor is as interesting as the indoor, for which the visit is quite short, less than half an hour.

Visiting Bratislava in winter, when the city is the most beautiful ? Then while touring the old town, a stop in Frantiskanska square will most likely have an outdoor ice rink.
