Donovalsky Pivovar — Restaurant in Donovaly

Honestly, I’m utterly disappointed, to the point that I feel lowkey scammed.

It feels like a place that’s attempted to go for the hipster niche and utterly failing at it.

QR code for a menu and if you don’t scan it on your own (as we didn’t notice the tiny QR), you’re given a tablet - not a paper menu. However we were a 3 person group and we only received 2 tablets, which was awkward.

Either way, to the food.

I’ve had grilled salmon which… was meh, edible. Beyond a fishy smell, the way it was prepared was subpar - you can probably do better at home.

As a side they’ve added potatoes with spinach, which were absolutely tasteless. Makes one wonder if they just boiled the two together and scooped them onto the plate without seasoning them.

Mind you, this was a 17€ meal.

The others in my group tried different meals and their judgment was much the same, a resounding meh.

Google is asking me to pick a meal to recommend, but honestly, I can only recommend you to visit another restaurant...

Absolútna katastrofa!!! Boli sme tam včera 18.2.na 2x.. najprv to bolo celkom v pohode. Pivo dobré, tatarák za 20e úplne bez chuti od cesnaku cez mäso. Hrianky ok a utopenec za 6.50 no neviem. Vrátili sme sa asi po hodine a pol, že si dáme hlavnú večeru a posedíme. 200e za dve osoby a negatívny zážitok na celý život. Robím v gastro-turizme a službách ale toto som v živote nezažil. Obsluha absolútna arogancia až agresivita(ten mladší s krátkymi nohami) ten starší zase nedokázal pochopiť, že steak, ktorý sme si objednali nemal ani z ďaleka kvalitu toho čo povedali pri objednávke a čo majú napísané v menu. 700g s kostičkou 7-8mramorovanie a na stole surový steak tak 250g mäsa a zbytok kosť. Dopekali sme si ho sami, ale najprv sme o grill museli požiadať a ďalších 5min čakať. Po otázke či sme boli spokojní sme odpovedali, že neboli a ďalej sa už ani nebudem vyjadrovať. Opakované drzé konfrontácie od staršieho pseudo čašníka.. za zmienku stojí jedna jeho poznámka na obranu " nám steky vozia vrtuľníkom"... vyhadzovali nás z reštaurácie ešte pred zatvorením, vyhýbali sa nám pri objednávkach a podobne. Akože blamáž za 270eurovy účet. Ak chlapci niesu ochotní slúžiť tak nech v službách nerobia. Títo dvaja pasujú tak do lesa akurát. Hrajú sa na špičkovú reštiku no pravda je v ³tej cenovej na vlakovke. Pivo prostredie dobré, ale zbytok úplný prepadák. Nedostali ani cent a už nikdy viac sa tam s nikým neukážem a neodporúčím toto miesto. Práve naopak...vyhýbajte sa tomúto miestu kým tam budú títo dvaja šašovia. Kuchyna- steaky a mäso slabota z 10bodov 3max. Ak chcete príjemnú obsluhu, ktorá sa na nič nehrá a majú celkom chutné jedlo choďte vedľa do DAMI. Nieje to síce TOPKA ale určite tam nezažijete taký...

If you're ever in the mood to dine within the lair of Slovakia's most accomplished national thieves (otherwise known as politicians), this particular establishment is the perfect venue. I wandered in, curiosity exceeding caution—and perhaps judgment. The food? Let's just say it's the culinary equivalent of a campaign promise: indisputably uninspiring and as seasoned as a government press release. Considering the price, one might expect flavors as bold as the restaurant's owner's exploits. Sadly, you'll have to settle for mediocrity—served with a garnish of...
