Best place so far - Edit
Bratislava is about my last stop in eastern Europe. The food that is served here is really fantastic! Okay.. some people might find that they are trying to please the non-vegans too much with all the dishes with meat substitutes.. but the meals are of such high quality that it might help to convince non-vegans that the vegan lifestyle is not so bad at all!! Really I would bring all my friends here for food!

Lots of choices - Edit
We had the Cubano sandwich, the Mexico burger and the stacked fries… we did not have space for desert but had it anyway. Everything was delicious. The fries could have been a bit more warm, I like my fries really hot… next time I wi ask for it.
Read moreOverall a great experience… living in Vienna, everything is closed on Sunday so we tend to go to Bratislava once in a while for Sunday shopping. Balans will be the go to place every time for lunch. Can’t wait that it gets warmer outside to try their terrace.

Used to be best in town - Edit
Menu is always really nice and if you don't feel like having one, then you can be sure that their other meals will be great as well! I especially recommend the Balans burger with fries.
Read moreUpdate for 2021: went there twice after they moved and I wasn't very happy with the prices going up, don't like their new interiors as well. Food is kind of greasy, definitely avoid the fried cheese. Both times I wanted to order a pizza and they were out. This place used to be the best place in town, hope they can up their game. Will give it another try next year. They are trying to create menu that suits non-vegans and its just so heavy and greasy. I would recommend to go for their daily menu instead of burgers (which was their best offer in the past). The drink bar however really shines.

Good burger - Edit
Nice restaurant with vegan comfort food. I had the burger and it tasted good. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere interior design was cosy and reminded me a bit of a bar.

excellent - Edit
we tried Mexican bowl (it supposed to be hot, but it was OK, not too hot or spicy) and pizza with cream and spinach. Everything was fresh and tasty.

Best bistro ever - Edit
Food is amazing and staff really friendly! I wish I would live in Bratislava just to eat here every day. My boyfriend and I had the Seitan Medallions and the Kubano Sandwich… we loved the Kubano Sandwich so much that we ordered a second one even though we were already full. I definitively recommend this place!

Delicious! - Edit
We visited Balans pre-covid and absolutely loved it. We ordered way too much food but still managed to eat it all (simply because it was so so good!). Loved the fried cheese and potato salad in particular! Would go back in a heartbeat!
