Places where you can eat
Something on Food
The traditional Slovak kitchen uses a lot of fat and meat. With the meal you can drink one of many different beers that are brewn in the country. And there is of course a big choice of local wine. If you do not drink alcohol, than you have a Vinea (grape juice) or a Kofola (kind a caramel and clove drink)
Between 11:00 and 14:00 many restaurants offer a 'menu'. This is how people in nearby offices have lunch. It is a usually cheaper and consist of a soup with a main course and a desert. You can choose from several options, and if you come late, the favorite meals will be sold out.
On many menu's you will also find something called 'hotove jedlo'. It means ready made food. This is food you will have in no time on the table. Other food has to be prepared and might take a bit longer.
Victoria - Beer and Meat
This is a traditional restaurant where you can drink beer and eat a pig's knee. And many other interesting meaty dishes. They have an inside garden and a small terrace.

Koliba Neresnica
Here time stood still. We pray that they never change. All still goes as 30 years ago. Their menu is full of Slovak delicatesses. Not considered healthy, but almost everybody likes it. The most typical food is called Halusky with Brindza. And the most typical dezert is palacinky. You can also take away. Our tip for takeaway: Order several meals and share them together. Oh and Koliba means stable for sheep
Academic
This place has many different places in one building. It is run by the local Hotel and Restaurant school. So you'll be attended by students who are trying to do their best to serve you according to the local rules. They have an outside terrace, and a great restaurant, but on the first floor is a different restaurant as well

Pizza Salvo
This is run by an Italian chef and his Slovak wife. Real Italian pizza in Zvolen is what it is. You can safely order any, because all are good. But you cannot eat there. You can pick up pizza's and drive to the lake, or 15 minutes back home. If you order 6 or more, they will bring it [maybe] even up to Kralova.
