Great little place! - Edit
Fantastic food, one of the best burgers I've had (balan burger) it's cheap (€16 for 2 meals with drinks). They have consistent burgers and quesadillas but then a changing traditional menu, I couldn't really understand this so played it safe!
Read morePros: specials board with traditional Slovak dishes , english version menu
Cons: small so might not be space, it's popular!

Best vegan food I've eaten - Edit
I visited Bratislava for a few days and I've become addicted to their food - the best is the balans burger, but quesadillas, burritos and the vegdog were also good. Besides that the prices affordable. Strongly recommend.

Best burger I've ever had - Edit
The food here is out of this world! Took my brother there who eats meat and he really enjoyed the food! We ordered the soup of the day which was Thai soup and 2 of the burgers. My brother had the first on the menu and I had the third which was called the Mexican. Also had tea and raspberry lemonade which came beautifully presented! Definately come try this place- you certainly won't regret it!

Was happy to found a few vegan places in Bratislava. We have ordered a salad (was too oily for my taste) and a burger (tasted pretty good). I liked the presentation of the food and the prices are nice. Overall nice stop for vegans at Bratislava.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. - Edit
A lot of foodies to choose from. We ate a beetroot burger and wrap. Nice food, especially the sauces were very good. Pop music playing in the background and a selection of board games to play with.

A bit disappointing, considering all of the positive reviews - Edit
Saw all of the reviews and made sure to visit. I ordered the Green Burger while my girlfriend ordered the soup and meal of the day.
Read moreThe burger was quite tasty, however the soup was just bland vegetables in an oily broth, with little to no taste. The meal of the day was ok, but also a little bland.
The service was also quite strange. The soup arrived instantly, and my burger about 10 minutes later. We assumed they forgot about the meal of the day for my girlfriend, seeing as they served everyone else in the restraunt before us, and as we where getting ready to leave they placed it on the table.
Overall I would probably give this place a miss.
Pros: Fully Vegan , Affordable
Cons: Food wasn't great , Service was relatively poor (friendly staff though

Top vegan place in Bratislava! - Edit
Very very tasty burgers, different specials (hot dogs, local dishes, exotic dishes etc.), simple and good lunch menus and it's open every day! Additionaly there's a wide variety of craft soft drinks and some craft beer as well as a small choice of sweets and pancakes. My absolutely favourite place to go in Bratislava.

So happy I went back the next day! - Edit
Among other things, they make veganized local dishes; the specials change weekly or every couple of days, I had a cheese croquette with potato salad: it was amazing. I went back the following day and ordered exactly the same!
Read morePros: veganized local dishes, serves food all day through, cozy

Great place - Edit
Balans Bistro is a small place with a slightly alternative/indie vibe. I had a smoothie and a burrito, both of which was really good - in particular the sauce that came with the burrito. Recommended.

Awesome Cozy Place - Edit
I've visited this place with a non-vegan friend of mine who's getting into vegan burgers, kinda. Wonderful, I'm quite sure the burgers served there do not do a disservice to the 'picture of vegan-compatible food' as a whole. The prices are quite alright for the exceptional quality. Just consider: you'll pay 3 Euros more for the equivalent in the center of Vienna. So I wish them the very best, hope they don't close anytime soon.
Read morePros: Price tag, Indeed quality meals, creative , Great selection of drinks
Cons: Can't pay with card
