Best Pho in Bratislava

TOP 5 tips from locals


Pho soup is a gem of Vietnamese cuisine that is becoming popular all over the world. According to CNN Travel, it even ranks among the top 50 tastiest dishes in the world.

And it won't be far from the authentic one you'd be served on the streets of Vietnam, as most Vietnamese businesses here are owned directly by the Vietnamese community and the traditional recipe is usually passed down through families from generation to generation. Let's take a look at where to go for the best Pho in Bratislava that will warm your body and soul. We´ll introduce you some of the top spots to try.
