Comida mal preparada - Edit
La quesadilla me la sirvieron quemada y la tarta fría y sin sabor. Además los menús y postres no están en inglés y traducir su idioma no es nada fácil. La atención es normal y parecía que tenían prisa porque nos fuesemos. Muchas cosas a mejorar

Service - horrible. It’s XXI century, you should expect english speaking staff in European country as long as card payments..
Pros: Excellent food, Price

Tasty! - Edit
Amazing place - the tofu burger was amazing. Staff were fantastic and adapted the meal for me so that I could have it gluten and wheat free. Location seems a bit in the middle of nowhere but that’s what also makes it such a hidden gem. Thank you. Delicious.

Best Place in Bratislava - Edit
The first time I went to Balans Bistro, it was sadly all full with people already waiting outside so I left and came back another time instead. I ordered a lemonade with mint and coconut sugar and the Balans burger with fries. It was super delicious and really filling as well!
Read moreStaff were really friendly, and the place was very cozy. My only complaint would be that due to the door being open the smoke from people that were smoking outside came inside which was a bit annoying.
Pros: Friendly staff, Delicious food, Cozy atmosphere
Cons: Smoke from outside

Decent - Edit
My non-veg friend and I both got the large spicy quesadillas. We were both pleased with the taste and portions. Price was okay. The restaurant is TINY. We ended up getting our food to-go and had to eat on the sidewalk which sucks. Besides that, would recommend.
Read morePros: good portions
Cons: slightly pricy, small location

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
