Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We’ve been waiting for our meal for over an hour by now. The staff is unfriendly and look like guests bother them. They seem to have some big reservations but they never warned us that we would have to wait for such a long time....It’s totally not worth, better look for something nicer in town.More

We’ve asked for the house favorites. The food was tasty but the cocktails were really poor. Generally,the place lacks a concept and one can find better places to enjoy a dinner in Banska Bystrica.

Welcomed by an unfriendly barista at the door, who made it clear Sunday evening guests are not welcome. After each course the empty plate would stay on my table unattended - up to 15 minutes (after main course). Upon my departure, the plate with unfinished...dessert was still on the table. Nobody came to ask about anything. Had to ask the barista at the bar if I could pay. This is not a cheap self-service place, I paid over 20 Euro just for a main dish... To be fair, the food was good. However, not excellent. Overall experience was not on the money...More

Lovely sited restaurant, service was very quick, inside and outside seating areas. The food that was ordered was absolutely delicious, my partner had Ricotta and Cheese pasta and I had an Italian burger, both portions were extremely generous and we did not have room for...pudding, great selection of these though if you have room. As previous posters have put, Vegan or Vegetarian options looked limited but the main menu is not that large anyway. Price was extremely reasonable and staff were attentive and friendly.More

The “The Vegan Options” under special diets are very misleading. No Vegan Options are available. Two waitresses didn't had a clue what to offer as alternative.

If you like to eat something special you should visit the Frais. We had to wait a little bit longer than average for our dishes but it was worth to wait. Pork belly and beef rib were very special and delicious meals. We definitely recommend...to visit Frais.More

Good place to hang out if u want to eat or even just have some drinks. They really stepped up their food compared to last year. Now they serve great food and big portions.

We had a family dinner last week in frais, food was very tasty, great filet steaks well prepaired. The only thing to complain is the smell of the kitchen you feel all the time on the first floor.

Situated in the old town center - just few steps from the main square. Food is amazing and tasty. Even if you are vegetarian you can find some delicious dish. The restaurant itself is very nice and so is the staff.

An restaurant located few metres from B.Bystrica main square and right on the historical street. Menu is not extensive, but still plenty to choose from and is really well build. They use sous-vide for some of their meats and use seasonal ingrediencies. Sqash soup (from...Hokaido variety) was excellent, tomato soup was with mozzarele cheese inside what is not the best fit. Pork tenderloin on black risotto was brilliant - done as medium rare. Risotto rice cooked al dente just as it should be, perfectly balanced dish and huge portion. Bigoli with basil pesto was wery tasty too. Price for 2 soups, 2 meals, drinks and cofee was 29EUR. The staff is very attentive, however it is the chef and his techniques and especially flavours who runs the show here.More

Lovely restaurant located just off the square. Nice outdoor area out the front and back of the building with a lovely interior also. I decided to have a chicken Cesar salad for main, really nice, couldn’t have any complaints, all at a very good price....My friend had the fillet steak and by his own admission one of the nicest he’s ever had! Well worth checking out for a nice formal and relaxed meal. Nice staff and great service.More

Excellent dinner here - highly recommend the roast beef in wine sauce! Incredible. Service is quite slow, so don't go there in a hurry
