Kupecká Bašta

Top choice in Eastern Slovakia


Dine within the very walls of Levoča's old town at this outstanding Slovak restaurant. A medley of Slovak and Hungarian influences grace the menu, like chicken stroganoff and schnitzels, along with unexpected combinations: pork encrusted with almonds, or served with mozzarella and cognac sauce, and Italian dishes like prawn and lime tagliatelle. It's all good, and the service is attentive.

Kupecká Bašta is also open on Sundays between May and October.
