Ždiarsky Dom

Tatra Mountains


Even the hungriest Goral shepherd would be satisfied by this superb restaurant, with its grilled trout, pork ribs that practically fall off the bone and homemade bryndzové pirohy, dumplings crammed with piquant cheese. There’s a log-walled interior to complete the farmhouse theme, but the terrace out back is an even better setting, thanks to its mountain views.

It's next door to the museum.
