'Join us in Bratislava, Slovakia as we sample Slovak food for the first time in this review of traditional Slovakian dishes at Prašná Bašta restaurant in the old town. Wanting to sample as much traditional Slovak cuisine as we possibly could we ordered an appetizer, two mains and a dessert to share along with some local produced wines. The meal itself was outstanding. Everything we had was delicious but we kind of made the mistake of ordering two many hearty and filling things to share when we probably could have swapped in a lighter appetizer for example. Regardless, it was a memorable meal and we\'d highly recommend you try Slovak food whenever you get a chance: 1) Slovak Wine - André and Cabernet Sauvignon (both dry reds) 2) Slovak Appetizer - Palacinka Hortobágyi (Pancake with shredded chicken and cream sauce) 3) Slovak main dish #1 - Bryndzové Halušky (Potato gnocchi with Slovak sheep cheese and bacon squares) 4) Slovak main dish #2 - Bravčová Panenka (pork and beef tenderloin with paprika in potato and zucchini pancake) 5) Slovak dessert - Somló (apple and whipped cream dessert) Slovak Restaurant in Bratislava, Slovakia Prašná bašta Address: Zámočnícka 399/11, 811 03 Bratislava, Slovakia Hours: 11AM–11PM (daily) Phone: +421 2/544 349 57 GEAR WE USE Olympus OM-D E-M5 II: http://amzn.to/1OchS7t Canon G7X: http://amzn.to/1YdjsYX Olympus 14-150mm II Lens: http://amzn.to/1Y79zeM Rode Video Mic GO: http://amzn.to/1WDKtVM Joby Gorilla Pod: http://amzn.to/1PgoY5F SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro: http://amzn.to/25KEErs SOCIAL MEDIA & TRAVEL BLOGS AUDREY: blog: http://thatbackpacker.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatbackpacker/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbackpacker twitter: https://twitter.com/ThatBackpacker SAMUEL: blog: http://nomadicsamuel.com/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nomadicsamuel twitter: https://twitter.com/NomadicSamuel instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadicsamuel/ Slovak Food Review - 5 Things to try in Bratislava, Slovakia Travel Video Transcript: Hey guys. From Bratislava. It is lunchtime. Yes. And we\'ve brought our appetites. So hungry! I didn\'t have a big breakfast so I have brought my appetite today. And we\'re going to be trying Slovak food for the first time. So this is an exciting moment for us. So we made it to the restaurant (Prašná Bašta) and it feels like we\'re in this little cave. We\'re underground and it is so cozy and yeah. It is just dimly lit. It is not too busy so we\'ve already placed our order and hopefully the food will be here soon because I\'m so hungry. Okay so Sam and I both got red wines. And they\'re both from Slovakia so I got the Cabernet Sauvignon and you got one called Andre. Alright so the first dish has shown up at the table and it looks nothing like what we were expecting so we\'re kind of like wooh which one is this? I\'m guessing it is the appetizer which I think was called palacinka hortobágyi or something like that. And it is meant to be potato pancakes with chicken in a cream sauce. And I mean this looks creamy. It does look creamy. But um I was expecting like a white cream sauce. My main is here and I went for a traditional Slovak dish. I can\'t pronounce the name (Bryndzové Halušky) it is a little too complicated for me but basically it is a potato gnocchi made with Slovak sheep\'s cheese and it also has some bacon on top. Okay and Sam ordered himself some kind of stuffed potato zucchini pancake. It looks so good. I\'ve just got to show you guys how big this is. My hand for comparison. Like this is big. It is massive. It is massive. It is massive. So do you want to tell us what is in there. So inside we have pork and beef tenderloin in a paprika sauce. Like this is our first introduction to you know Slovak cuisine and I\'m saying I\'m loving it so far. This is actually not a Slovak dessert. We ordered Hungarian dessert because Sam thought it looked really appetizing. It is called Somlo. Somlo. We had this when we were in Budapest. Time for price point. So that was 35 Euros. That included two glasses of wine. One appetizer. Two mains and a dessert to share. So yeah, it wasn\'t a cheap meal but we knew that going in. We wanted something that was really good quality and we sure got that here. Portions were generous too and just everything was delicious. There wasn\'t anything that we ordered that we didn\'t love. So highly highly recommend this place and what a fantastic introduction to Slovak food I have to say. And now we need a siesta. Bye guys. This is part of our Travel in Slovakia video series showcasing Slovak food (Slovakian food), Slovak culture (Slovakian culture) and Slovak cuisine (Slovakian cuisine).
