A Cozy Culinary Retreat In Banska Bystrica

Once a small village, now Banska Bystrica is an enchanting destination for every foodie. Let’s explore its culinary traditions with Eatagram.

In our experience, Banska Bystrica is the coziest town in Slovakia. Its centuries-old architecture and breathtaking mountainous views are a perfect background for your gourmet retreat. 

As we begin our tour down the historical streets of Banska Bystrica, we’ll try pirohy, dumplings with various fillings, and segedin goulash, a stew with sauerkraut and pork. They taste incredible and keep you fueled for a long time of exploring the town.

While in Banska Bystrica, every foodie must try the iconic bryndzové halušky. These dumplings are made from grated potatoes and are traditionally topped with rich sheep cheese and crispy bacon. Absolutely noteworthy! Especially, when paired with a pint of locally crafted beer.

What’s for dessert? We offer to try a go-to pastry called sisky. These fluffy fried dough pastries are often drizzled with honey and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Accompany them with aromatic tea or a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We are sure you'll fall in love with Banska Bystrica, with its beautiful landmarks, including the iconic Clock Tower, with its hospitality and astounding cozy vibes.

But be careful: this cozy town may steal your heart.
