Slovak Food Taste Test - Eating in a Cave Restaurant in Bratislava, Slovakia

Come join us for a Slovak Food taste test as we visit a cave restaurant (Modrá Hviezda) in Bratislava Slovakia for lunch. We ended up ordering 5 different items from the menu including two drinks (wine and beer), two mains (both meat dishes) and a dessert to share. It ended up being a fantastic meal as the Slovak main dishes were hearty, rich and flavorful. We left feeling full and satisfied. The cave atmosphere was also very cool and cozy and we'd highly recommend this place. Keep in mind it is not a budget meal and ordering a couple of meat dishes, drinks and dessert will cost you over 40 Euros most likely.

1) Frankovka modrá red wine (dark skinned late ripening grapes rich in tannin with a spicy character)
2) Zlatý Bažant 'Golden Pheasant' Slovak Beer (12° svetlé pivo light coloured beer 4.7% ABV)
3) Pork chop in walnut crust with honey mustard sauce and roasted potatoes (bravčová kotleta)
4) Rabbit leg with forest mushrooms in a red wine sauce with herb potato herb dumplings (Králik na Šampiňónoch)
5) Homemade Slovak poppy seed dumplings (šúľance s makom)

Slovak Food Taste Test - Eating in a Cave Restaurant in Bratislava, Slovakia Travel Food Video Transcript:

We are in between castle visits. We just finished visiting Devin Castle. Yeah. Next up is Bratislava Castle but first we need lunch. What is the plan? Well, we've worked up a ridiculous appetite doing all of that walking so we are just going to try to find somewhere to eat nearby this new castle so we're just wandering around and we're going to hopefully find a place really soon. More Slovak Food. Let's go.

Do you remember what kind of wine you got? It is the specialty. It started with Frankovka modrá.

But that was enough exploring for me I think I've earned a beer. Haha. So I'm trying over here Zlatý Bažant 12°. Hopefully I'm saying that right. Bazant.

I have this giant pork chop covered in like crushed walnuts and it comes with a honey mustard sauce (bravčová kotleta) and I also have roasted potatoes.

Pork and honey mustard. Haha. That is amazing. Is it good? This was listed under the traditional dishes section. Yep. So really happy to be trying this.

So my traditional like Slovak main over here is basically it is rabbit leg (Králik na Šampiňónoch). Yep. And then on this part this side I don't know if you can see we've got wild mushrooms. Yeah. In a wine sauce. And then we have dumplings.

Potato dumplings and these are thick and heavy. They look like little pancakes. Yeah, they do. I'm going to grab a bit of that. And Sam chose this just because he read red wine sauce and was like yeah. Yeah. Give me the wine sauce.

Dessert has arrived and once again it looks completely different from what I was expecting. We ordered poppy seed dumplings so I thought maybe with pierogi filled with poppy seed but the dumplings it is like this wormy shape. I would say. And then you have poppy seed powder on top.

Time for price point. So time to wrap that up. That was not a cheap meal. It was 42 Euros but oh it was good. It was just like gourmet food and the most expensive thing we ordered was 14 which was one of the meat dishes.
