- 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.
This is part of our Travel in Slovakia video series showcasing Slovak food (Slovakian food), Slovak culture (Slovakian culture) and Slovak cuisine (Slovakian cuisine).

My Grandmother came from Bratislava Slovakia, when is use to be Czechoslovakia, I'm so glad someone did a video on Slovakia, Wish my Grandmother was alive to see it, When she remembers it was poor and gloomy she lived In a house it had no floor, Her mother sent her to America to live with her Aunt where my Grandmother grew up, Awe I remember she use to cook Slovak and Hungarian foods, She was a great cook. I love Slovakian foods I grew up with it until she passed away. Slovakia is so beautiful wish she was alive so she could see how it looks today.
Thank you! You have many fond and loving memories of her. Indeed, it is beautiful.
You love Slovak food, there's no such word Slovakian.
Wow this place looks amazing and the food looks yummy!! Thanks for sharing. ❤😘
Thanks! We recommend this place highly if you're visiting Bratislava.
Thanks for this video. My wife and I are currently in Bratislava on went to this restaurant yesterday. It was AMAZING!!!
That is so cool to hear! What did you order?
The same exact thing you both ordered!!!
We also went to Cafe Mondieu for breakfast one morning
I am from Slovakia and I currently live there. U should know all the food portions in slovakia are huge. The bear is calles Zlatý Bažant and the restaurant is Hviezda.
Thanks for letting us know Emma! I hope we can see more of Slovakia in the future. We had a great time there.
Emma, I think you thought of beer not a bear ;) , english is a tricky language
Modrá hviezda.... BLU STAR🌟👏👏👍🍀🙋,zlatý bažant...golden pheasant.
hey guys, is very nice to hear you love food from my lovely country 😍 thumb up 👍
Mostly all videos are great,but this one for sure have the best looking plates. The oven baked pork chop with potatoes is by far the most appealing dish I've seen on this show. I think I growled when Audrey cut it open. Y.U.M!!!
Thank you very much! Out of all of the meals we've had recently this one was definitely one of the best :)
yeah ... it was not a good idea to watch this at 1am, now I'm hungry
Wish we could share!
Hope you enjoyed your stay in Bratislava! You are most welcome here :)
Thank you! We had a great time!
Frankovka modrá, yum! I've had it in Slovenia, too and it is one of my easy to drink red wines. Keep up the good work Sam and Audrey!!
Thank you very much! That is really cool to hear! Makes a great wine to go with a meal like that.
I was there last September in this restaurant, great atmosphere 😍
That is really cool to hear! What did you order?
Modrá Hviezda= Blue Star
You're welcome.
Thank you! :)
Wow those dishes, along with the atmosphere looked amazing thanks again for sharing. 👀 📸 ❤️❤️❤️❤️📸
Thanks! It was a really cool place.
Loving your Eurotrip adventures!
Thank you! We sure are having a good time visiting new places :)
Nice video! Everything looked so delicious! And that cave-like restaurant...I loved it! It is good to know that they serve generous portions in Slovakia. xD I hope to visit that country some day soon. Have a good time! Cheers
Thank you! It was definitely one of the coolest places we ate at in Bratislava. Hope you can go soon :)
Looks lovely Guys! Love you’re vids!
Thank you very much! It was a great meal and such a cool setting.
Love watching you two. So glad I had pizza before I watched or I would be so hungry. Catching up with your past videos and watched your visit to Chicago (my home town). It was wonderful. You guys are wonderful.
Thank you very much! What kind of pizza did you get? Ah, we sure had a good trip back then. Our video skills were kind of poor but we loved our visit.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Living in Cleveland now, so pizza not as good as Chicago. If you ever get back to Chicago have someone take you to the neighborhoods. Food in Chicago is as great ad New Orleans.
Oh, New Orleans is somewhere I'm dying to visit. I think out of any city in the US I'd like to go there most. Bring on the cajun and creole :)
great video, thanks !
Thank you!
Wow that restaurant is so cool!
Thanks! It really is. Great atmosphere and food. Would love to go back again someday.
👏👏👏 great video! enjoyed it!
Thank you very much!
Looks Great, I tend to pass on bunny rabbits, but, we always know when you REALLY love it, as you have Lunch and Dinner at the Restaurant! as in Indian.
Cheers, great team you make!
Thank you!
Hi! 😇 I love your vids. You both influence me to do the exact same thing with my cousin! It looks a lot of fun! 😂 YOU SHOULD COME TO MY HOMETOWN WHICH IS NEW ZEALAND!! 🙌 god bless and hope you are enjoying your trip!!
Thank you! Ah, we'd love to visit NZ soon! One of our dream countries to visit :)
That is a nice ambiance eating in that cave restaurant.
Thanks! It sure was cool.
Hello Samuel and Audrey! Thanks for another nice video! :) I am from Slovakia, so I am glad you enjoyed your meal and your trips in Bratislava. I hope, you have a lot of nice memories from Slovakia. Btw. This wormy shaped dumplings with poppy seeds is in Slovak language called " šúľance s makom", not "parené buchty". But your Slovak pronunciation is excellent. :) Have a nice day! :)
Thank you very much! Oh, really appreciate the correction. I've just updated it to the correct name :) Thanks!
Can you show the castles and museums and sightseeing places along w food? Good video,
looks delish
Thanks! Our city guide coming out this weekend will show the castles and old town. Place stay tuned for that :)
Gastronomy and services in Slovakia significantly improved after 1989. Frankovka vine is named after actor Franco Nero….:-) :-)
Hey there! Loving your videos, I just had a question regarding how you are able to find out what's on the menu, is it translated or do you know Slovak? We will be traveling here next fall and would like to be prepared. Thanks for all your content!
Thanks! Good question. Actually the two places we've featured had both languages. We found almost everywhere we ate in Bratislava had an English menu available.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thanks! (btw, my husband and i think you too are cute, funny, and very iformative. Dont change a thing!)
dumpling in your Slovakia videos you can translate like three total different type of food:
haluška
knedľa
šúľanec
but english doesn't have so many exact translations, so everything is dumpling :D
Thanks for sharing.
Looks so yummy!
Thanks! It was a delicious meal.
that pork dish looks insane!!!! mmmm
That one was a winner!
I like when you go to the more unknown not so common smaller countries in Europe Slovakia is nice looking were u plan on going next in Europe you so deserve more subscribe rs
Thanks! We're heading south from here. Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro are next :)
9:29 if u find normal(cheap) restaurant in slovakia then its usually about 5€ for meal
Great to know. Thanks!
Why do you guys always have to make me so hungry? Now I have to go out and grab something delicious to eat ASAP.
Sorry for that! Wish we could share and hope you grab something tasty :)
I certainly did. It was Frankfurter soup (cabbage, potatoes and frankfurters) plus sweet strawberry-filled dumplings rolled in fried breadcrumbs for me.
Actually, I'm not sure whether you guys are still in this area around Vienna and Bratislava. Are you planning to visit Sopron? It would certainly be worth visiting for a few days and I'd be happy to give some recommendations.
8:6 its not a dessert its a normal food
Ah, interesting to hear.
It is well that it is tasty meal, but the last one with poppy seed it is not dessert it is one of the sweet meals in Slovakia, it is really not dessert. but nice video.
Thank you for letting us know!
Wow the location looks awesome and the pork dish :P
I’m more a fan of chicken meat but I would like to eat that pork too at this point lol
Thanks! This was one of the better meals we had in Slovakia.
I doubt if I could eat Rabbit they are cute and often look so vulnerable. There was one running around in front of my car today when I went for a drive in the country. Luckily for the Rabbit I was the driver and it eventually went into a field. However, the food generally in those Eastern European countries looks really nice.
Ah, that is understandable. Yeah, we've been really enjoying food in Eastern Europe and we've had so little exposure to it in our lives prior to this trip so t is mostly quite new for us.
Slovakia is in Central Europe not Eastern Europe.
Audrey reminds me of Gillian Jacobs :)
Interesting to hear!
@@samuelandaudrey yeah, especially with her eyes! ☺️ anyway guys, good content, really! I am Italian but I live on Bratislava already for 7 yr and a half and I have to say you picked a wonderful restaurant to try the Slovak cuisine!!👍🏻
AWESOME!
Thanks!

How do you two stay so fit
I'm so envious of your life (and the rest of travel bloggers) moving around the globe. BTW, I'm stuck in one of the loneliest places in the planet (Saudi Arabia). So, is that what you do for a living, just traveling? I hope you won't mind my asking. You're lucky guys and I hope I could do the same when I retired.
We work online as we travel. We put in long hours which is not really shown in the videos but we sure do enjoy this lifestyle. We'll be making a video about how we do it in the future.
Wow! Thanks for your reply. Keep on traveling. Your travel tips helped when we (my wife & I) went to HK and Macau about 4 months ago. I got the idea from you on eating that egg tart in Macau. It taste really good but the size did not justify the price.
great video !! iam looking to this and the your other channels a city guide from rome .. Is there any ? cause i cant find it..
Thank you! We haven't visited Rome yet but we plan to for the 1st time in early 2018 :) We'll also cover Florence and Venice.
great! we are looking forward for this!! yeah we have enjoy these two cities video guides . thanx..
Thank you! We've had a couple of trips to Italy but never covered the main cities. So we're really excited about it :)
Goodness, Audrey is so pretty.

Wow! Thanks for such a detailed reply and great suggestions. This is amazing :)
Wasn’t that brown shoulder bag on you bought in Kyrgyzstan ? Cheers..
She got that from Peru! We do miss Kyrgyzstan though.
From the distance It resembled me one of our leather shoulder bags with the national ornaments.. looks pretty similar though. Greetings from Kyrgyzstan :)
A kde sú halušky?! 😁
The Jaipur shirt is holding up. I'm impressed with Indian quality.
Thanks! It has held up very well :)
My country 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
What’s that song at the beginning of the video
sorry forget
hey! it's november already and Samuel is still in t-shirt. doesn't it so cold for him?
Ah, our little secret is that we filmed this in late September. We're a bit behind on content ;)
so you were in Lviv much earlier than on video?
Yes, we visited in the middle of September.
that's why I haven't seen you on streets :(
Why don't you go to Ethiopia? It is great place to visit.
We'd love to.
It seems wine has less forgetting-effect than beer 😉
Hahaha...a bit of a secret is that Audrey let me try some of that wine near the end of the meal so it was the last thing I remembered ;)
when r u coming to nepal
We'd love to come back but not sure when.
Every restaurant in the centre is expensive, this one is at least good. HC SLOVAN? oh no :O
Any suggestions to avoid this? I really like that cap but I checked and they're not having a good season. Better luck next year.
@@samuelandaudrey I just remembered another restaurant in the city centre (but outside the tourist area ). it is called U bazanta, with much more reasonable prices. And they have Zlaty bazant :D They are not have a good season for the last 6 years, from the time they entered KHL. They simply do not have the money to have good players for that league.
To opacne priporove garde nesnasam.....sa to podoba neschopnosti kultury stolovamia anglosaskych kultur.
Ohh Boze, drzi ten pribor ako kolik na paradajky😵
se la pasan viajando ustedes dos eh jaja
Hey guys Europe is not bad but when can we expect you to come back to Asia and South America or even North America hehe.😀
Next year we're likely to revisit Peru and Argentina with a big trip to Japan in between :)
Aww..... thank you!!! Can't wait... 😀😀😀
First!
Woo hoo! Quick on the draw :)
I've never tried rabbit
It is quite tasty if cooked well.
Uh-oh, we didn't like the wine?
It grew on her but wasn't an instant hit.
you didnt try the national food BRYNDZOVE HALUSKY... doesnt count :-)
Next time Peter! Thanks!
wine tastings bs!!!
It's a nice video just wished they were pronouncing properly.
looks more like re-invented traditional cuisine
It could be.
no this is actually pretty traditional, my grandma used to make a ton of these things while i was growing up (in Slovakia)
It's really interesting that there are no Slovak comments.... Usually when someone makes a video about Slovakia, it goes viral in here. Unfortunate
I find it weird and interesting too. But we are sometimes slow when it comes to stuff like this, lul. Sometimes it takes over month for people to find out. And why am I not writing in slovak language? 😂
Ah, hopefully our series maybe gets a bit of a boost later on ;) We've still got some more coming out from Bratislava :)
Thanks! Any ideas how they usually discover new content?
Noky su noky, halusky su halusky a sulance su sulance.......ten ubohy anglosasky slovnik vobec nevystihuje skutocnost.😵💫
They are pronouncing the countries name and what they call us Slovaks. Kinda butchering my ethnicity and culture. I'm slovakian
There's no such word Slovakian. You're Slovak.
Really? Zlaty Bszant tasted amazing to you?? You should be really thirsty dude...
Where do you recommend?
@@samuelandaudrey Richtár jakub if you want to have good beer. Bratislavsky mestiansky pivovar if you wanto to have also food.
