Rudeness - Edit
The place has wrong info about open hours: here, on fb and google. Cash only. Rude worker didn’t let me to choose another dish(I didn’t have enough cash for what I choose before and they have no possibility to charge by card), she said “we have not enough space to stay here(( it is to many people inside, so I’m waiting outside, and it is cold. Didn’t expect such experience in a vegan place.

Disappointing experience - Edit
Went there a couple of times, usually waited too long for the server to take our order since the staff was talking to each other. The food is good but burgers have too much filling and sauce in them and it makes it hard to eat as it gets really messy. The biggest con is not being able to pay with credit card (like c'mon it's 2020 and I can't pay with card?), at least put it as a sign on the entrance door since many people don't have cash on them at all times. The biggest disappointment of this restaurant is that the staff is rather talking to each other than caring about their customers.
Read moreToday, after waiting for 30 minutes for our food I asked one of the staff why I hadn't received my order yet, the answer given to me after the server went to check it to the kitchen was that the order must had got lost. After telling her that since that happened we wouldn't be eating there, the server got rather angry and told me not to be offended. Was looking forward to that meal but this experience ruined any chances of going there back any time soon. I have no idea how the two servers at the counter hadn't noticed that we hadn't been served any food yet.
Pros: location, price
Cons: cash only, unprofessional staff, messy overfilled burgers

Best burger ever - Edit
The Balan burger is unreal! Filled with a large veggie burger, cheese, and other spread/toppings. I was hoping it would fill me up since it was 9 euro (I got the fries too) and it did! Filling, absolutely delicious burger. Only thing was that I didn't eat at the restaurant--I showed up at 7pm on a Friday night and it was packed so I took it to go. Fast service. Desserts available too!

Great little meal - Edit
I had the Cuban sandwich which really was very very lovely. Staff in here very friendly just be mindful that they close at 9 and that means you have to be finished by 9. Also it’s cash only so make sure to have some with you before you go!
Read morePros: So much to choose from!
Cons: Cash only

Food to die for - Edit
Honestly, Balans bistro does some of the nicest vegan food in Bratislava. Whether you choose a dish from the daily menu or perhaps a burger, hot dog or wrap, you can be sure you'll be getting a meal prepared with care and love. The Balans burger is one of the best vegan burgers I've ever tried and the mayo is to die for - I believe it's made with red lentils and it tastes scarily similar to the real stuff. I can't recommend Balans enough!

Saucy salty burgers - Edit
My (non vegan) boyfriend had the Mexican burger with fries he would give it 4 stars. I had the balans burger with fries. I thought there was a little bit to much sauce and way to much salt. I usually like pretty salty food.

Cons: To salty

Nice fusion cuisine - Edit
After eating bbq tofu burger my carnivorous father said: this halloumi cheese was really tasty! Isn't it the best compliment? Listening to Modern Talking on a loop was also pleasing. I reccomend it as a place where you can eat tasty vegan burrito and wash it down with aromatic chai latte.

100% Vegan - Edit
Located outside of the Old Town, Balans Bistro is roughly a ten-minute walk from Michael’s Gate, offering a chance to escape the crowded restaurants on the main streets. The establishment is 100% vegan, decorated with cute messages amongst a wooden and plant décor. For those looking for more of a health binge, this is the spot. On the menu are vegetable burgers, burritos and burrito bowls (a favourite of my girlfriends), and quesadillas. And for those like me, it’s important to note they offer plant milks for coffee, and agave syrup to sweeten.
Read morePros: Away from the crowds, 100% Vegan, Plant Milk for Coffee

Amazing - Edit
Amazing vegan place. The music is great, the staff are so friendly and the burrito was definitely the best I have had in my life. Was in Bratislava for two days and ate here for both of them. Perfect.

Great place - Edit
Really liked the restaurant, the staff were lovely, great little independent place.
Read moreI had the ruban sandwich, really enjoyed it. The sauces especially the garlic were amazing and best thing about the place.
Only reason its 4 and not 5 is we were disappointed with the quesadillas. Could have do so much more with the filling.
Pros: Homemade dips, Drink selection , Independent
Cons: Some dishes not the most filling

Quesadillas for the win! - Edit
Balans Bistro was my first stop when arriving to Bratislava. It’s a lovely tiny restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. I had the champignon quesadilla (which was out of this world!) filled with grilled Hokkaido pumpkin, mushrooms, olives, vegan “cheese” and a delicious dressing (forgot the ingredients, but it was yumm!). Totally recommend it!
Read morePros: 100% plant based, Good prices , Food is superb
Cons: Not so many places to sit

Disappointed with burger quality - Edit
Burger was poorly done. It literally fell apart on the first bite.
Read moreThe black bean patty just crumbled into bits and fell off.
There was too much sauce inside it, which also made it dribble, and very messy to eat.
Eventually I gave up eating my burger how a burger is meant to be eaten (with hands), and resorted to eating bits of it with a knife and fork.
Not an enjoyable dining experience.
The chef / owner could do with going to Warsaw, Poland to learn burger making and serving from the best - from Krowarzywa burger restaurants who are also all vegan.
The burgers at krowarzywa are also made of a bean patty, but don't fall apart, and are served with a unique paper wrapping around the burger, which stops all content from falling out.
I am only giving it 2 stars as the fries were nice, and there was a menu in English.
Pros: Fries were nice - but that's it.
Cons: Poor quality burger - falls apart, Messy to eat, Minimal seating
