food as an experience

Bistronomy is a result of a long-lasting passion for tastes and aesthetics of food. You can find us in Vydrica, a beautiful new neighborhood under the Bratislava castle. Our chef Karol Szuri has created a tasting menu that inventively reflects his style and use of seasonal ingredients. In the open kitchen, you can watch the chef´s team at work. All this, with relaxed atmosphere and friendly service, is there to create a special experience. Come and enjoy it with a glass of wine, our sommelier Matej Demčák will be happy to recommend you one.

Bistronomy has received a significant recognition by international food guides. For 2026, we were awarded 3 toques by Gault&Millau, one of the world's most prestigious gastronomic guides, placing us among the top 10 best restaurants in Slovakia. The renowned Austrian guide Falstaff awarded us 3 forks and 94 out of 100 points. Our wine list has captured the attention of international critics as well. The globally recognized Star Wine List awarded us with two Silver Stars. 

Our menu changes continuously, according to the season. We like using organic ingredients from local farmers, as well as wild mushrooms and plants from the Carpathian forests. We try to work with animal products from farms that strive for stress-free conditions and better enviroment for animals, such as meat from welfare farms, fish from fresh water ponds or free-range eggs. Our venison comes from wild-living animals from local forests.

With the approval of the association Human Progress, we have adopted a cage-free commitment: "Since 2025, Bistronomy has been using exclusively cage-free eggs. This commitment applies to eggs, both liquid and dried eggs, and to egg additives in our own products, and applies to all our own and licensed establishments."

WINE

We get to know the winemakers, their mindset, their view of the world, of nature, of winemaking. That´s how we create our wine list.

We have selected almost 200 wines with our sommelier Matej Demčák. It´s mainly small local wineries, but also world-famous regions. There is a wide selection of Champagne and natural, biodynamic wines, because we simply love them!

For 2026, the prestigious global wine guide Star Wine List known as the "Michelin guide for wine" awarded us two Silver Stars in its international rating, in the categories Best Austrian Wine list and Best Short List.

VYDRICA

One of the oldest districts of Bratislava has gone through a rather turbulent history.

Vydrica was once inhabited by a poorer part of the population. It was known for its pubs, brothels, dubious characters, and unbridled bohemian life. In the late 1960s, the Communist regime had Vydrica razed to the ground due to the construction of the SNP Bridge. Not only the buildings, but also the original streets disappeared from the city map. It took decades until Vydrica came to life again in 2025. Different, modern, ready for the future with a new perspective. The original streets have returned, including ours, Floriánska.
