Gastronomy

Hungry or thirsty? In Slovakia you will find quality gastronomy at affordable prices. Regional dishes are as colourful as the Slovak countryside itself. The traditional cuisine of mountain areas mainly favours those who love cheese and milk products. In low lying areas, you can taste more spicy food, cabbage specialities, goose, lokše (local fried flatbread) or trdelník (sweet pastry cylinders). Wash it down with good wine from the lowlands and the southern slopes of the Carpathians or from Tokay. The wine routes will help you discover the best wine cellars. You can also enjoy traditional dishes and gastronomic delicacies in grape harvesting, markets, feasts celebrating apples, cabbage or fish specialities. Bon appetite and cheers!
