Practical information : Eating out Slovakia
Timetable
Slovaks generally eat their meals earlier than in France. Lunch from 11am and dinner around 7pm, especially at weekends when they go out to the theatre or the opera. They then eat before going to the show, so that some restaurants are deserted from 8:30 pm. After the show, it's rather the Krčma that fills up, and the beer then flows. Restaurants often serve non-stop between 11:30 am and 9 pm and sometimes even earlier in the provinces and later in the capital
Budget & Tips
Easy and cheaper to eat at the restaurant at lunchtime! The majority of the country's restaurants offer a "Denne menu", a weekday lunch menu (2 to 4 choices of soup + main course, often with a salad buffet) for a price of between €3.50 and €5.50. That's how Slovaks eat lunch, and it's good. So there's no reason to save up by just trying to make yourself a sandwich for lunch.
What costs extra
In Slovak restaurants the displayed dishes usually do not include the topping, there is a menu page that will show the toppings of your choice to be added. Bread and sauces are to be paid extra and the locals do not drink water in carafe even if it is possible to ask for it (čistú vodu/tchistou vodou). There is no obligation, but the local standard is to leave a tip of 5-10% of your bill if you are satisfied with your meal and service. If you stop for a simple coffee or a beer, a tip is also welcome, rounding up your bill: waiters are not paid much and often get only 3 € per hour!
The local way
It's very local to eat (hot) soup every day of the year even in summer when it's thirty-five degrees!
Kids
You can easily visit local restaurants without restrictions, as a family with your children. Some are more suitable than others and have, for example, a play area.
Smokers
Each establishment can choose its own policy in terms of tobacco consumption and the vast majority of establishments are non-smoking.
Tourist traps
In the historic centre of Bratislava, you will be presented with attractive "tourist menus" translated into all languages by our staff. Of course, they work for unscrupulous establishments that take advantage of their good location to mountain passersby and sell fast and expensive recipes of so-called local specialities. Avoid them and try to stay away from overly touristy routes for lunch or your break.
