Zylinder
Austro-Hungarian cooking on Hviezdoslav Square, from Tafelspitz in a copper pot to Pressburg schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn for dessert.
About the place
Zylinder revives the cooking of the Austro-Hungarian era, with recipes from old Pressburg and imperial Vienna. It is part of the Bencik Culinary Group.
The café-restaurant looks onto Hviezdoslav Square, next to the Slovak National Theatre and a short walk from the Danube embankment. It suits a traditional lunch or an unhurried dinner after a walk through the Old Town.
What to try
Tafelspitz, the boiled beef said to be Emperor Franz Joseph’s favourite, arrives in a copper pot with root vegetables, spinach, potatoes and apple horseradish.
Other classics include Pressburg schnitzel, Szeged goulash and pörkölt. Finish with Kaiserschmarrn.
