About the place

Štefánka is one of Bratislava’s classic cafés, on Palisády just above the Old Town. It took its name with permission from Princess Stéphanie, and between the wars it was a meeting place for writers, artists and journalists.

Restored to the style of the Austro-Hungarian era, it suits an elegant breakfast, a business meeting or a long lunch.

What to try

Regional and Central European dishes: Hungarian fisherman’s soup (halászle), venison goulash with Karlovy Vary dumplings and cranberries, Viennese schnitzel and roast pork neck.

Seasonal duck and goose feasts appear in autumn, and coffee with a dessert works for an afternoon stop.
