Great little place!

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!

Pros: specials board with traditional Slovak dishes , english version menu

Cons: small so might not be space, it's popular!

best vegan food in town

everything i've had here is amazing. they do incredible burgers and quesadillas with rly good vegan cheese (my faves are the mushroom quesadilla and basic balans burger). fries and all the different dips are also 10/10.
definitely recommend trying the daily/weekend specials, no matter what they make it's bound to taste great.
the service and whole vibe of the place are also very nice.

Pros: everything

Best vegan food I've eaten

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

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!

Pros: Menu available in English, Helpful and fast efficient service, Food is first class

Cons: none!

Tasty food

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.

Pros: Cheap, Good presentation , Tasty

Delicious food and nice atmosphere.

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.

Amazing Burgers

Today we visited Balans Bistro and we found delicious vegan burgers. Both the Mexican and the Balans Burger were amazing. The mexican burger was for sure the best burger I ever had!
And the fries were really amazing too. 😍

Pros: 100% vegan

Cons: Kleines Lokal

Amazing place

I loved Balans Bistro! It was very easy to find and their food is delicious :) I love how they serve burgers, enchiladas but also traditional slovak food in a vegan version, because that is what you should always go for when travelling

Pros: serves traditional slovak food, cheap, open on sunday

Cons: staff doesn't speak english :(

A bit disappointing, considering all of the positive reviews

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.

The 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!

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.

Pros: open every day, alternating specials, craft soft drinks and beer

So happy I went back the next day!

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!

Pros: veganized local dishes, serves food all day through, cozy

something unique

Great place

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.

Pros: Cheap, Good food, Friendly staff

Awesome Cozy Place

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.

Pros: Price tag, Indeed quality meals, creative , Great selection of drinks

Cons: Can't pay with card

Small but packed, always a good sign and we weren't wrong, the Mexican burger was beautiful, and the aquafaba chocolate mousse a good finish. Visit here if you're hungry!
