If I don't eat this beef tartar, I will be heartbroken!
Slovakia’s Food Scene: A Delicious Surprise! This trip proved Slovakia is a underrated foodie paradise—almost every meal was a hit! The best find? A converted medieval monastery with dishes that come with their own backstory (thank you, Google Translate!). 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes 🥩 Beef Tartare (★★★★★) At first glance: "How do I even eat this?!" (We had to ask the waiter.) Silky sirloin mince mixed with raw egg yolk, garlic, paprika, and tomato sauce Smear it on golden toasted bread—heaven. We literally ordered extra toast! 🧀 Slovak "Bryndzové" Dumplings Pillowy pockets drowning in sheep cheese—tasty but heavy. Pair with something acidic! 🦆 Confit Duck Solid, but paled next to the life-changing tartare. 🥤 Kofola (Slovak "Coke") Think cola, but tangier and less sweet. Our group became addicted—stocked up at supermarkets to bring home! ✨ Why It’s Special Historic vibe: Dining in a 14th-century monastery (with candlelit arches!) No tourist traps: Just hearty, local flavors at fair prices. #SlovakiaEats #HiddenGems #FoodieFinds
