great vegan food - Edit
They offer a very cheap daily changing lunch dish and a soup (both together 6.50 euros). Because this offer is only available until everything is sold out, I recommend going there between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. If you come later there is still a menu with burgers, burritos and quesiladas available and also vegan deserts like cake. English speaking stuff and the menu is also available in english. I would recommend to try some of their fancy drinks, like the ginger kombucha. The food is really tasty and cheap plus the portions are filling. Very cozy atmosphere inside!

Chips from heaven - Edit
I ate here on two consecutive nights and both times the ambience and grub were top drawer. The only drawback wAs the lack of availability of their heavenly homemade fries the second night. Quesadillas are yummy and the burgers vast and juicy. Take tissues! Cool clientele too. Eat ya heart out bratwurst munchers!
Read morePros: Top burgers, Fries to murder for, Very cosy and cool
Cons: Get there before chips abscond

Great burger and fries! - Edit
Super tasty burger and fries. The fries came with a mayonnaise type dip that was to die for. Cozy interior.
Read moreNote - description says there is vegan versions of Slovakian food (main reason I came) but that isn't true as of 10/31/18. Uploaded photos of full food menu. Still good food if you're craving a burger!
Pros: tasty
Cons: no traditional Slovakian food

A Very Good Bistro - Edit
This restaurant was very good. I ordered the spicy quesadilla and the Balan Burger. Which wasn't spicey, but it was one of the best quesadillas I have ever had. And I actually lived in mexico and am a good mexican cook myself. So that should tell you how good it was. It was very creative and different than most quesadillas too. The one drawback was that it wasn't cooked for long enough so the shell wasn't cripsy and would flop down over your fingers and ingredients would spill out if you weren't holding it with a flat hand. But the flavor was great. The balan burger was also very delicious. They really put together a great combination of ingredients and flavors. The one drawback here was that the fries were not very well done so they weren't very good. But the burger was just great. This is very good vegan food. However unfortunately every single dish contains wheat, nothing is gluten free.
Read morePros: Good Burger, Good Quesadilla, Inexpensive
Cons: Only Wheat Products

Great vegan quesadillas - Edit
I had vegan quesadillas and they were fantastic. Filling without leaving me feel unhealthy. The place was busy still not hectic and definitely worth another visit. I came because of vegan Slovakian food though, which was not available at all.
