Koliba Goral

Reviewed By davestly - Ashford, United Kingdom

We had our final evening meal here. The building itself is very smart and full of character. There were real wood fires and local folk musicians. The food was excellent. Some of the English translations in the menu are not quite there! Prices are a bit higher than other places, but still good value. We paid €180 for our group of 10 including drinks.
You will need to book to be sure of a place.

Leroy Bar & Cafe

Reviewed By bobjanh - Brisbane, Australia

Our small group tour was en-route from Krakow to Budapest with a scheduled stop in Banksa Bystrica for lunch.
It was Good Friday. We walked up to the square from the bus parking area to find it deserted. A beautiful square by the way but as little eerie without people.
Nothing of note appeared open, then we spied Leroy Bar & Cafe and were thankful that we did.
Cosy atmosphere (it was a cold day), friendly staff and prompt service. English language was a bit of a problem but the lovely wait-staff were patient with us.
Lunch was a simple affair - a couple of glasses of wine and a cheese plate between the two of us but we had a most enjoyable hour or so here.

Restaurant Cierna Ovca

Reviewed By petki - Banska Bystrica, Slovakia

Very pleasantly surprised, honestly did not expect that level of service and food quality in the middle of the Forests. The location is a bit away of the city happenings, but the surroundings, fresh air and pleasant atmosphere pays off. The food is high level, very delicios, I would not make a better picant tripe soup myself, just made to my taste!!! Excellent second dish, among others slow roast pork neck with sour cabbage dumplings (yes, yummy, despite of the awkward desription), simply unforgettable well- and diferently prepared salmon fillet, not to forget the duck leg with cabbage. And last but not least, by ordering espresso coffee you get it as it should be - a ristretto with additional boiling water aside to make it to your taste of espresso or americano. Hey, coffee guys in posh restaurants, you have a chance to learn something. It is a definitelly well managed place. Will love to come again.

Pigis

Local bistro offering fresh delicious meals, desserts and coffee. We use local vegetables and meat to offer you the best gastronomy experience. After a meal, try one of our wide range of homemade pattiserie. Polite staff is waiting for you :)

Reviewed By Rad R - Bratislava, Slovakia

I have been to Pigis for several times already. What was always great was the staff - polite, quick, pleasant. I have never been dissapointed witth the coffee or desserts, so I can reccomend that. As for lunch or dinner - note that the offer is limited and somewhat non-original: burgers, fish and chips, usual bistro food. I did not find any "signature dish" , maybe I just was not looking right. The food we had was OK, thay mention often that the use local and "real" ingredience, that all may be true. But for the price of food, which is quite high for this town, the result is somewhat dissapointing. You could easily have similar taste (maybe not the ingrediens quality) in some better fast food stall. Having been though many of new fashionable "bistros" in Bratislava and elsewhere, I would say food here could use some more originality to justify the prices.

Restaurant Rak

Reviewed By Vladimir789 - Slovakia

We´ve enjoyed sitting at the historical square of Banska Bystrica sitting in the restaurant Cerveny rak. It seems that everything from the menu is veery tasty. We had tartar beef and chicken leg on mushrooms. Both were delicious. Just we advice not to take fatty breads for tartar beef. The bread was too oily. The restaurant is producing it´s own beer. The beer is very good. Staff is nice but not very professional. It´s a common problem in restaurants of Slovakia.

Season Home Cooking

Reviewed By Michael T - West Vancouver, Canada

We stopped for lunch at Season Home Cooking quite by accident. We arrive in Zvolen and quite simply picked it because we were hungry. It has a nice location on a large square with tables out on the street. Lunch was surprisingly good. We both had salads (Caesar made at the table) and salmon, green beans, lettuce and potatoes. I also had the soup of the day which was goulash-like but lighter and not as filling. Service was efficient and friendly. The menu has English subtitles.
I would recommend this place for sure.
