Asian food in Bratislava – yay or nay?

I am quite reluctant to eat Asian food in Slovak restaurants. Not because I do not like Asian food. On the contrary, but Asian food never feels enough Asian in Slovak restaurants. (Here I have to say it is not good enough in many European countries and cities, I am afraid.) Generally, the more Asian minorities live in the country/city, the better (more authentic) the Asian food choice is. Thus, the (few) Asian ethnic groups running restaurants in Slovakia tend to customize their food too much to Slovak/European taste buds, I guess.

Sweet tooths in Bratislava

The traveling and vacation is a luxury time. When on the road or exploring a new city we likely crave for some treats. And we probably treat ourselves to them. We tend to eat more junk food or sweets or drink alcohol. It is fare and totally fine I guess. But some of us want to indulge, not just binge on anything. So what to do in Bratislava, when you feel like having something sweet?

Bratislava for Coffee Lovers Found

Central European countries do not typically provide the services and style of the Western nations. However, there are areas where you can experience something even better. For instance specialty coffee (or third wave) cafés, urban bistros and new concepts like food trucks or street-food markets. There is tremendous potential here more than anywhere else in the West as there are still substantial market gaps to fill in and a lack of traditions of some kind. Mainly, when we travel to Munich, Vienna or elsewhere in Austria or Germany, we have quite a hard time to find a decent specialty coffee or simple modern food of an international provenance. Fresh salads, simple soups, brunch-kind of food, vegetarian options, and another light fare. Let alone in an inspirational space, full of bright design, urban mags, jungle plants, hip music, etc. Let it be „hipster“ or not.

Where the wine flies of Bratislava flock

Wine bars might be my second favorite food venues right after bistros. No kids, no noisy youngsters or perplexed tourists. Wine bars are always a bit invisible and overlooked in the streets as they are mostly open during the late hours. You might agree that it is not a place where the most people dare to be, intimidated by the sophisticated wine world. However, it could pay off to enter as you might unintentionally discover something new in your life. Admittedly it seems you would better know what you want (to drink) in a wine bar more than in any other place.
