Must visit in Bratislava

Really tasty burrito! It’s in my top 2 burritos ever 🏆. And believe me, I’ve tried many and I’m not saying this lightly as I’m very picky when it comes to food 😄.
It’s a hip place with a cozy outdoor area, it was packed when I was there. Menu includes English translation. Staff was very friendly. Not the lowest prices but still count as reasonable for the quality you get in return. Definitely a must visit if you’re in Bratislava 💯.

Best in Slovakia

Just amazing, first time for me at the new location (great idea to move), I have never met staff that is nicer than in here. Amazingly big number od options, perfect local beer and food was just perfect, even though I was dying with my Hot Spicy pizza.

Location, area, food and staff just clicked together and are creating a place where you can feel really comfortable. Please do not become lofty and stay perfect! 😉

Pros: Number of options, Nicest waitress in space

Cons: Always full

fave place in Bratislava

We came here twice during our 2 night stay in Bratislava. The staff were really friendly. Our burgers were delicious and it was nice to have a homemade meat patty rather than branded. The wine was nice too and very cheap. Definitely check this place out when in Bratislava.

THE Bistro!

Very few people in my opinion would argue that if they would have to recommend one, and only one bistro to visit in Bratislava during a short trip, Balans would be THE Bistro. And truth to be told, those few that would argue otherwise will simply be wrong 🤣
Their food is simply fantastic, and I am not talking only about their burgers which are legendary by now and beat also some of the top rated meat burgers beat hands down.
Whether you choose to grab a lunch here from their creative lunch menu, or simply want some comfort food, Balans is the place to satisfy all your needs.
That is exactly what Balans is, a comforting reassurance that when everything goes wrong, you have a place to grab delicious food, and suddenly feel that all of that is just a rainy day that will pass ❤
P.S. It is worth mentioning that I have probably never met such a personnel in the restaurant business before. It is typical for vegan restaurants to have great service, but there is something else at this place that makes you feel like the most important person in the world for the staff every single time you walk through their door.
Once we mentioned to them when they were asking us how everything was that it would be great if they had some play area for kids - that might be the one slight negative for this place if you reaaaaaly wanna be nit picky. They said that they haven't thought of that but it is a good idea and will think of something. Suffice to say that I actually believe them and won't be tiny bit surprised if there was an inflatable castle next time we visit 😊

Pros: Best vegan food in town, Kind, friendly

Nice one

The place is really nice, with a pleasant outdoor area.

I’m not a fan of Buddha bowls, but it was so hot that I couldn’t think of eating fast food or a curry, so I tried it, and it was good. I can’t really appreciate it since it’s not normally my kind of dish, but it was perfect for the moment, everything was fresh and the avocado perfectly ripe.

My husband had a burrito and was really impressed by it. He said it was one of the best he’d ever tried.

The coffee was so-so though, but in general I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Ultimate street food joint

A cozy bistro with a cause. Gastro [censored], proven to satisfy meat eaters as well as health conscious vegans on their cheat day😄However don't expect a calm ambient atmosphere, this place is usually packed. And for a good reason!

Worth the 5 stars and the Top location rating on Happy Cow

2020-07-03 They changed the location and the menu, and it's even better than before, if that's even possible! We tried the green burger with grilled tofu, as well as the Cuban sandwich with bacon, both accompanied by the Belgian fries and one honey mustard and one barbecue dip. For drinks we shared a one litre homemade grapefruit lemonade. Delicious!

2019-03-10 Went there on a Sunday and we tried one of their weekend specials - the winter burger with grilled marinated seitan, vegan ricotta, roasted walnuts and beetroot, homemade onion marmelade and the horseradish mayo, all accompanied by their homemade chips/fries - Delicious! For drinks we went for the hot housemade lemonade with mint and coconut sugar.

Pros: Good price-quality ratio , Friendly staff
