Tulsi

Reviewed By smallhausen1 - Manama, Bahrain

It is an interesting place right in the downtown. Service is very friendly and helpful. But the sushi is really far from you will expect. Not proper ingredients and soda sauce was too salty. Also risotto was not properly cooked.

Reviewed By Sasa75 - England

We happened to find this place on a Saturday night craving some late snack and a drink. Art Café was so much more than that.
The bartenders magiced lovely panini out of nowhere even at the late hour when we arrived. The place was all dancing by about ten at night to a catchy mix of contemporary music and some dance classics.
There was a great mix of locals and tourists and a lot of entertaining conversations to be had over the very customer friendly priced drinks.

Restaurant Na Kopci

Pension and restaurant on the hill overlooking the historical centre offers daily menu and Slovak culinary specialties. With indoor and outdoor children playground.

Reviewed By Sam-Visits - Germany

Situated behind the local football stadium, the place is bit difficult to spot. Especially on a rainy evening.
We almost gave up but luckily there were two young boys whom were very kind, willing to lead us, following their car, from the city center all the way to the place.
Make sure you use the exact address on your navigation device.
Other than that, very nice place, with quite some nice view, and excellent food. Prices are more than reasonable for full diner.

Black M Pizzeria & Restaurancia

Reviewed By Teachcool - Harriman, Tennessee

Traveling from America to visit our cousins who recommended the eatery as it was just a short walk from our hotel. We were a little leery about ordering pizza but were pleasantly surprised at the order we received. It was prepared perfectly and was delivered promptly. The beer was cold, the service was both prompt and courteous and our server spoke fluent English. First time we'd ever had corn on a pizza and it was wonderful. The price was very reasonable. Go ahead and give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
