A very nice Asian Bistrot experience in the city centre
Soho is a trendy and successful Pan Asian Bistrot that has expanded along the years. Originally the first place was set in Dunajska and then two more opened in the city.
The place: I went to the original Bistrot in Dunajska. It is small but tables are reasonably spaced and the atmosphere is cosy and warm. Lots of wood interior and dark colours convey a sense of intimacy. While not particularly original the place is pleasant and you feel welcomed.
The service: very good service with waiters patient and nice while being absolutely professionals. We arrived in sparse order, ordered food and drinks separately and in different moments. Service was always delivered with a smile.
The food: as the name says, this is a Bistrot and a cafe, so the menu reflects it. Not many food options, but each of them well designed and balanced. Beef ribs were really good, almost melting in your mouth. No need for cutlery, you could literally eat with chopsticks. Very good home made drinks. Good choices of coffees and teas. Very limited choice of wine by the glass.
The price: the price is surprisingly on the cheap side. Spent 16 euro for a main dish (very generous portion) and 2 home...
Read morethe first ever asian fusion restaurant in Europe that made me think of my home country Malaysia. We had the coconut soup with chicken and it tasted like Malaysian style curry noodle but not as spicy as the curry in Malaysia. We also tried their beef ribs with rice, on the menu it says it is jasmine rice but the way they cooked made me feel like im eating basmati rice. The beef was so soft and perfectly cooked. For me I feel like it's like an indian - japanese fusion dish. And lastly, we also had the mango - papaya salad with shrimps. This made me think of the thai papaya salad. The shrimps were fresh and papaya was raw which is how they make papaya salad in thailand. The dressing was nice and it was not spicy like the ones in thailand. And since this is an asian fusion food, they should be different but will make you think of asia. As a Malaysian who loves eating, I highly recommend all of you to try it because if you like the food there, you probably would like the food in asia. The food was so nice that I want to write them a review and I hope the chef...
Read moreMost overrated restaurant in Bratislava. Everytime someone makes me go there (people obviously like their beef with green beans) I leave so disappointed. I am vegetarian and everytime I order something I regret it instantly. Once I ordered their salat with tofu and mango dressing (I believe- some kind of dressing). I got bowl of spinach leaves with 4 small pieces of tofu for 12 euros. Dressing was quite good. I also ordered chilly tofu with rice and seasonal vegetables for like 11 euros. Rice was imho two days old or undercooked (best case scenario). Again I got five pieces of tofu. It was barely seasoned. And "seasonal vegetables" obviously means onions with more onions and one little piece of carrot. Maybe it was onion season at the time and I just didn't know that. If you don't want something with meat do not go there. I write this review like one month later because everytime I think of this food it seriously...
