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.

Best Choice in Stary Smokovec

Aug 2020 • none

Options are limited in town and this is the best we tried during our stay. The service is not the friendliest but the food is good. We had the Chicken Wings and the Pork Ribs with Barbecue Sauce and some Roast Potatoes. There was plenty of food and it was all really tasty and well cooked. With a few beers and a tip, the final bill came to around €32 or around £30 which is just silly money for this type of meal. Recommended.

Excellent restaurant

Aug 2020 • couples

We had lunch twice and breakfast once at this restaurant and we loved it. I recommend the chicken burger, the vegan chickpea salad and the Smokovec breakfast. The service was good and some of the waiters could speak English. Menus are in English too. You should also eat outside on the terrace to enjoy the mountain views.

Nice place

Sept 2021 • friends

Very nice restaurant which we were recommended to visit, food was delicious and very tasty. I ordered cheeseburger which was great but the fries were not hand cut which is a bit pity, it would add so much value to the dish. The second dish we ordered was a combo of steak, ribs and wings - all delicious. Very friendly and nice staff, we will return for sure:)

Excellent food and beer

Aug 2019 • none

We were looking for a good restaurant during our vacation in High Tatras last summer. A friend of mine recommended Stary Smakovec and we were not disappointed! We had burger with chips, chicken breast with baked potatos, all very tasty, but my bbq ribs, well they might match the very best I ever ate. And for beer lovers, Pilsner Urquell on the tap, really cant do any better. Staff was friendly and prices are very reasonable for the location. We will def come back!

Very good restaurant

Jan 2020 • none

Went 3 times during our stay at the Grand. Very welcoming and the food served was excellent and not overpriced. Neither myself or my wife are vegetarian but twice we both choose a vegetarian meal. The website is excellent and the menu will hopefully tantalise your taste buds.

Excellent Steaks + Tank Pilsner + Mountain Views = Fantastic Dinner

Aug 2023 • family

We were so lucky to choose this place! We had an awesome dinner here with our friends and family. From our table there was a beautiful view of the mountains. Our waiter was friendly and made us feel welcome. The prefectly poured Pilsners were quickly on the table and our children got looked after with quick service of kids meals too. We were very happy with the food. There were options for everyone with vegan dishes, fresh trout, burgers and real juicy steaks. Everyones food was beautifully presented and delicous. We found the place very reasonably priced for the location and the quality of produce. Basically its ecxellent value for money! Thank you for the whole team! We had a great time and hope we can visit again soon!

Just go and give it a try, you won't regret it.

Oct 2022 • solo

Very good position, very good kitchen and service. Plenty of tables inside and outside. During autumn/winter season, overhead heaters are available. Serving typical Slovak food mixed with pub-like dishes (ribs, wings, hamburgers etc.). They serve beer and spirits as well. Never have I ever had a bad food/experience there.

A sophisticated atmosphere and delicious meat dishes

Jan 2024 • family

We visited this restaurant with three families during our visit to Ľadový Dóm. The atmosphere of the restaurant was sophisticated, and they were flexible in changing our reservation time, so we didn't have to wait outside in the cold. We ordered meat dishes (pork knee and steak), and both were delicious. We'd definitely like to return next time.

Such an awesome find! Perfect food, great beer and a beautiful view!

Aug 2023 • family

We visited Stary Smacovec for an early dinner with our family and were so impressed! The aesthetic and atmosphere was so nice to walk into, you could tell it had been well thought through, and we were blown away with the quality of the food! The produce was so fresh and the ribs, steak and chicken was cooked perfectly! It’s by far the best food we’ve had during our trip. The beer and service was also great! The restaurant is located in the middle of town and the view of the mountains from the seats out the front was gorgeous! The kids had a great time running around out the front of the restaurant, but we did also notice a small kids area inside close to a couple of tables which would be a great option too. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, it’s one not to miss!

Great restaurant, delicious food, tank beer

Oct 2022 • friends

Nice place to eat with draft tank pilsner urquell beer. We had cheeseburger served with fries and barbeque sauce, pork steak with fried potatoes and seasonal specialty pretzel with butter, as dessert we tried grilled pineapple. Everything was delicious, prices are good too.

First time in High Tatras my friends

Jul 2022 • none

We had such a perfect experience at Stary Smakovec for the first time we've ever been there. The Place was recommended to us from our good friend and we were not disappointed. We had a few items out of the whole menu as tartar steak, duck risotto, soup of the day , traditional Slovakian halusky and at the last place del;icious Pilsner Urquell from tank. All the food we had was excellent. Portions are huge and the meal value is very reasonable considering we are in high Tatras my friends!

Very pleased

Sept 2021 • friends

We really enjoyed our stay at this resteraunt. The food was awesome and was served in 15 minutes. At this place i’ve had the best beer in my life. The staff was friendly and was very happy when I asked about the taste and origin of the beer. They’re clearly beer specialists ;). The restaurant looks great overall.

Great restaurant

Feb 2022 • couples

This place is worth a visit. There is a good selection on the menu with local dishes and some great looking steaks. The beer and cocktail menu is good, a little limited with the wine selection. The food was amazing and very tasted. The staff speak English and very friendly and helpful. There are a lot of families so be prepared at times for the ‘annoying children’. I would return in the future.
