Bratislava Restaurants
If you would like to sample the traditional Slovak fare or Pressburg specialties (not really what most people eat these days), try the Slovak Restaurant on Hviezdoslavovo namestie (if you can afford it), Traja musketieri styled as "the taste of 1625" on Sladkovicova (not far from the Presidential Palace). The taste of traditional Pressburg drawing on Austrian and Hungarian culinary traditions is offered in Leberfinger, across the Danube from the Old Town (a pleasant, 10-minute walk across the bridge and a taxi ride back, as you will be too full to walk).
Another highly recommended restaurant with traditional Old Bratislava fare is Modra Hviezda (The Blue Star) located in Beblaveho street, a narrow street on the way to the castle, serving meals in the Slovak, Austrian and Hungarian traditions and great Slovak wines complemented with a little bit of history written onto the menu.
Staroslovenska krcma (the Old Slovak Pub) in the pedestrian zone on Michalska is another solid choice, both in the winter when you eat in a tastefully decorated cellar and in the summer at one of the two outdoor seating areas.
Do try Prasna basta, it's been around for a long time and is featured in many travel guides. Try Archa around the corner from the Archbishop's Palace in Primaciálne Square, A-Klub on Panska. Also on Laurinska, wonderful crepes and pancakes with savoury and sweet fillings of all kinds can be had at the Creperie.
In the same category, to eat what the locals eat, visit Lahodky u Sherlocka on the corner of Mileticova and Prievozska or one of the slightly more upmarket (but still very reasonably priced) restaurants on Mileticova such as Leguan or Steam & Coffee (a local chain, now also at the Radisson SAS Carlton Hotel having replaced an unsuccessful Friday's, near Pollus City Center and at the Slovak Radio upside down pyramid building).

I live in the US and have a son married and living in Bratislava. I want send him and his new wife a gift. I have there address. I was thinking of a gift certificate to the Traja musketieri. I am a Dumas fan and this sounds like fun. Do you think this will work? Can you get me an e-mail address to someone at this restraunt? I think it would be better than trying to do this over the phone. Thanks for the help.

...you still use SKK? Should I bother to bring any euros or is it better to bring SKK when coming to Bratislava? ADMIN: It is much easier to pay with the Slovak currency. Euros are accepted only by selected establishments.
