Hradná Hviezda

Bratislava


Distinguished Slovak cuisine, like game goulash with dumplings, venison with rosehip sauce and risotto of barley and wild mushrooms, fills plates at this classy restaurant. Despite its setting on the grounds of Bratislava Castle, Hradná Hviezda escapes tourist-trap status; it's one of the city's top tables for a romantic dinner.
