Eat, Sleep, Play - Slovakia

« Return to Eat, Sleep, Play    « Return to Slovakia

Remember, these are only the places I managed to get to, representing not a splash in the ocean, a fart in a hot tub, a mullet in a trailer park, a…you get the idea. Consult your Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Lets Go, Fodors, Local Shaman for dozens of other options. Sometimes, I wish I had.

EAT

Bratislava

Non Stop Joint - Just down the road from the Presidential Palace, a canteen style eatery with cheap food, should you want to stay away from the hundreds of good restaurants in the old town. I only got sick once, and I ate there twice. The staff look like they’ve just been released from gulag, especially when they dump the potatoes on your plate. They also weigh the ketchup and charge you for it, I mean, what else do you want in a place to eat?
Downtown - Peter’s funky, modern restaurant/bar, playing good tunes to a big screen. Chilled out, good food, friendly staff, reasonable prices, I mean, what else do you want in a place to eat? Kariska Ulca, 8.

SLEEP

Bratislava

Downtown Backpackers - Popular hostel with all the facilities you’ve come to expect, except hooks in the bathrooms! Clean, cool, well-run and central, with seemingly manically busy staff.
