Traditional Restaurants
If you would like to sample the traditional Slovak fare or Pressburg specialties , try the Slovak Restaurant on Hviezdoslavovo namestie, Traja musketieri styled as "the taste of 1625" on Sladkovicova (not far from the Presidential Palace). The taste of traditional Pressburg drawing on Austrian and Hungarian culinary traditions is offered in Leberfinger, across the Danube from the Old Town (a pleasant, 10-minute walk across the bridge and a taxi ride back.
Another highly recommended restaurant with traditional Old Bratislava fare is Modra Hviezda located in Beblaveho street, a street on the way to the castle, serving meals in the Slovak, Austrian and Hungarian traditions and great Slovak wines complemented with a little bit of history written onto the menu.

Old Town Market - lots of little shops with langose (local garlicky fried potato flatbreads), lokse (potato pancakes), baguettes in the indoor market at SNP Square.
Manderlak - a late-night fast-food
in the formerly tallest building in Bratislava, the Manderlak

chicken breast on a bun.
