Sladovńa, House of Beer, offers great Slovak menu with many traditional, the usual and not so usual, dishes, including pork neck, pork belly, baked sausage, potato dumplings, and veal chops. Yet, obviously, its main quality is centred around the other part of the name - beer! Paulaner hefe-weizen, Zlaty Bažant (Slovak flagship beer), and a few are served in litres from chilled glass tubes measuring one meter and more. They are placed on a small wooden dispenser, from which folk can pour into regular glasses.
I ordered baked potato dumplings (€5.80) and a pint of Paulaner (€2.50), and pork lard with bacon bits, which I scoffed with rustic bread (€1.80). Many say that eating pork lard as a spread is the same as sticking a gun to the forehead. But isn't it jolly to die with pleasure, eh?
