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.

The food was amazing, reminded me of my childhood when my grandmother used to cook us meals. We returned several times during our stay. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately didn’t have good experience. One of my family members is celiac & made sure that food was selected was gluten free. Vegetables were very bland. However the food must must’ve been contaminated with gluten as after having a meal a family member is experiencing...symptoms relating to gluten food. Restaurants in Slovakia need to understand that gluten free food it’s not just a lifestyle choice but could cause significant health issues. I don’t think we would visit again if they can’t guarantee the right allergen informationMore

This is a Slovak restaurant with all must have classics made with local ingredients. The food is great, you go for pirohy or halusky with local bryndza (Slovak sheep cheese) or with local zamagursky cheese. It is delicious and even we have simillar a places...in slovakia, this is one of the best you can choose. The service is attentive and well mannered, even the place is always full of people during the lunch. The only thing I am not liking here is the thick and messy menu. Too many pictures, too many meals, too many pages.More

And - as the most popular - put the less attention on clients. The food is good. Yes, but service is poor. Very poor. It is rather somewhat as McDonald (in Poland we would say - jadłodajnia"). True is that I would not recommend this...place but still they have very good food.More

Huge choice and excellent taste of local food. Haluski (dumping with sheep cheese) were the best i’ve ever taste. Pstruh (trout) was excellent! My son ate whole plate of Kuraci s hranolkami (chicken french frites), what means it was really good. Palacinki (pancakes) were very...good as well. Being near to Stara Lubovna you must take a breake in Salas u Franka!More

A very large menu. Main dishes are good, although probably reheated. Pear and sweet desserts. Acceptable prices though high.

We were full of expectations to try NR. 1 in Stará Ľubovňa,but its not worth it. Overcrowded place with slow service and really weak food. I have tried dumplings and bean soup, both traditional slovak food and it was really terrible, soup with pieces of...hard meat, dumplings also not good. I cant understand who can like this restaurant. We wont come back for sure.More

I know this restaurant ages. I wasn’t here really long about 5 years maybe but I still can say nothing changed. Food still delicious like before, staff nice and friendly.! Me and my family we really enjoyed our dinner here. Hopefully will be back soon.

We both chose Slovak meals. Wife had sausage and sauerkraut... I had the fried pork and pancake. Wife thought it was the best sauerkraut she had had... She is Dutch... So knows such things. It was delicious... As was the alcohol free beer.

I have visited this restaurant many times and I like the esthetic part and also the food. Once a year I always stop there for typical Slovak food. If you are nearby you should really go there and have a try :-)

We have chosen this place because of it's high ranking. But we were bit disappointed. Although we were served rather quickly despite of large number of guests, meals were just average. Soups were not hot enough, Stroganoff was made from chicken meat and dumplings were...made from flour (without required potatoes). Pop drinks were only bottled and only one sort of beer was available. But staff was kind and prices affordable. Otherwise it will be 2 stars only.More

Found the service good, menu has an English translation to each dish which is useful. Traditional Slovak good is served. The fried pork in breadcrumbs is awesome. The prices are reasonable. Definitely worth a visit if your local

We came to this restaurant thanks to tripadvisor reviews. What a disappointment. A restaurant oriented to mass gastronomy with average quality of food, slow service, shabby and cheap interior. We would not recommend to our friends.
