Comida mal preparada

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

Fab place to eat!

I was worried about being vegan in Slovakia but then I found this place and wow! Friendly people and the food was so good, and great value! Even the omnis with me were amazed, we need to go again before we leave! :)) Really recommend the Mexico burger 😋

Excellent food - poor service

Food is outstanding and very well priced.
I wish I could cook like they do 😭
Service - horrible. It’s XXI century, you should expect english speaking staff in European country as long as card payments..

Pros: Excellent food, Price

Cons: Service doesnt speak english, Cant pay by card (wtf)

Tasty!

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

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!

Staff 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

Super nice place

Super nice place. It's quite tiny though but I was lucky to have a seat. ^^
I tried the soup of the day. It was delicious and filling.
They serve burgers, quesadillas, burritos, hotdogs, fries, sandwiches and there a different soup and meal every day. They also have a few cakes.

Pros: Tasty food, Nice staff, Good prices

Cons: Quite tiny

Decent

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.

Pros: good portions

Cons: slightly pricy, small location

great vegan food

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!

Pros: all vegan , vegan deserts, cheap

The food in Balans Bistro was so good that we had to return the next day to have some more. The people are really friendly and the atmosphere in general is super nice. If ever back in Bratislava, I will definitely head back to Balans Bistro.

Pros: excellent food, good location, good atmosphere

Chips from heaven

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!

Pros: Top burgers, Fries to murder for, Very cosy and cool

Cons: Get there before chips abscond

Incredible

Worth going to this place for the mayonnaise and home made chips, they are incredible! The burger was delish but the chips even better. Food is a good sized portion and reasonably priced. Bistro was busy both times I visited. Has free WiFi, English menu and friendly English speaking Staff

Pros: The chips , Nice prices

Cons: Slightly small

Great burger and fries!

Super tasty burger and fries. The fries came with a mayonnaise type dip that was to die for. Cozy interior.

Note - 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
