Great atmosphere

Loved the service, food and atmosphere. Had the dlovakian dumplings which tasted like Mac and cheese. They also sell dessert which is a plus!

Pros: Service

Loads of choice with fresh flavours

I went for the green burger and crispyflower with a homemade lemonade and all of it tasted so fresh and wholesome. The service time was also really quick which was amazing given the quality. I finished off with the mango cheesecake which wasn’t on par with the rest but still sufficed. The location is good and the venue is beautiful with the courtyard too.

Pros: Fresh flavours, Speed of service, Choices

Was für eine Entdeckung

Super schönes Ambiente, freundliches Personal (spricht Englisch) und sehr leckeres Essen.
Ich hatte den Sloppy Joe und eine hausgemachte Limonade. Beides war ausgezeichnet!
Auch das traditionelle Gericht "Bryndza Dumplings" war sehr lecker.
Absolute Empfehlung!

Super delicious food and good atmosphere

The food was super good. If I knew how to backflip, I would have done it.
I especially liked the dumplings, could it them everyday. Burger was super tasty too :)
The lemonade (we tried the simplest one) was excellent.
And the atmosphere and vibes were super cozy, felt like eating at home!
Would 100% recommend

Pros: Dumplings, Food, Nice chill vibes

Cons: Leaving

The food was great and with a lot of variety. I’d like to try the Juicy Marbles steak if I came back!

Great vegan food

Independent bistro with friendly staff and cool interior. Slovakian dishes as well as burgers and such. Food arrived quickly and tasted great. Lots of gluten-free options, too.

Sklamanie

Boli sme traja dospeli a jedno dieta. Dali sme si wrap a burgre. Nedostali sme k tomu ani gram zeleniny. Wrap bol extremne presoleny a okrem presoleneho sojoveho maska obsahoval hranolky. Cakala by som aspon nejaku cerstvu zeleninu, zial, nie v Balanse. Kedysi mali super kuchynu, ale poriadne to s nimi islo dole. Viac nepridem…

One of the best vegan restaurant in Bratislava

Fully vegan place with lots of delicious meals, fast food types of meals such as burgers (mexiko burger is my all-time favorite plus their belgian fries are awesome) burritos etc. but also regular ones such as pea soup, pomodoro risotto, ceasar salad, “schnitzel” with potatoes, protein bowl etc. They change menu with seasons sometimes and also have weekly daily menu and different weekend specials. Even non-vegans love to eat here. They also have different drinks and coffee with plant milk as well as vegan cakes. Cute and cozy interior with nice terrace in the courtyard. Great vegan vibes here!

yes

for starters we had gyoza and the tartar, both was really good. My friend is not vegan and really praised the tartar. We then had the crunchy and Balan burger, they were both really good - especially the onion chutney.

Pros: Atmosphere (lighting, plants, music), Menu, Outdoor area (with decoration, lights etc)

Great options and very cute

Nice staff, nice outside seating area. My healthy bowl was great and okay prices, the chips were yummy and a good portion (I definitely did not need them as well as my meal and didnt finish them). Free open wifi but it doesnt stretch to the garden

Great interior and food :)

First of all, the place is so nicely decorated, I was so amazed when I walked in there!!! I had the healthy bowl which was incredible and also the vegan salmon was suprisingly delicious? The strawberry matcha drink is one of the best drinks I’ve ever tried so if you go there, you have to order it!

Good food, good vibes, okay prices

The food was really good. I had a tasty gnocchi. Prices were okay, a bit high for what you get compared to other places in Bratislava. The vibe of the place was very nice tho

Sneakily copious portions

Went there on our first evening in Bratislava. We had the Cesar's salad and the Cuban sandwich, two mango lassis, and a dessert. The lassis were nice, the dishes very satisfying and surprisingly filling for their size so that we struggled to finish them. As a result, we didn't dare attack the dessert and took it to go. I couldn't resist it two hours later though, and it turned out much lighter than we thought, encrusted in sugar and cinnamon, with a nice chocolate-mascarpone filling.

Pros: Flavorful dishes, Solid portions, Nice lassis
