The 10 Best Brunch and Breakfast Spots in Bratislava, Slovakia

Bratislava’s Old Town is a culinary hotspot, with more than a hundred restaurants and cafés offering dishes from all over the world. When it comes to options, breakfast is no exception. From a French bakery to a coffeeshop serving locally roasted beans to American pancakes to eggs Benedict, Bratislava has many fabulous options for breakfast and brunch that look amazing and taste even better. Here’s where to start your day in Bratislava.
Mondieu
Bakery, Bistro, Cafe, French, Healthy
Merica
Cafe, North American
Urban House
Restaurant, Bistro, Cafe, Fusion, Contemporary, European, Vegetarian, Vegan
Breakfast is served at Urban House until noon on weekdays and 1pm on the weekend. The avocado toast on rye bread with crushed chili is one of the most Instagrammable breakfasts in town, but the American pancakes are also pretty. If you like eggs, order the Eggs Royale, with smoked salmon, hollandaise sauce, curly kale, and toast. Order a cappuccino with any kind of milk you’d like, and if you’re traveling with kids, they’ll love the Babyccino which does not feature coffee but is a delicious chocolate, vanilla, and steamed milk creation.
Zeppelin
Cafe, Coffee Shop, Bakery, European
The food that Zeppelin does best is cake! You can eat one in their cosy café or you can order a slice to take away. You won’t find large, hearty breakfasts here. But you will find friendly staff and a huge selection of homemade cakes baked fresh each morning. The carrot cake is highly recommended, along with their typical Bratislava poppyseed rolls and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Rannô Ptáča
Cafe, European
Yet another location by the owners of Štúr Café, Rannô Ptáča is the best place to eat breakfast in the vicinity of Bratislava’s main train station. If you need to catch a morning train or if you arrive to the city via train in the morning, stop at Rannô Ptáča to fuel up before sightseeing. There is bottomless coffee on offer for just €1.50 in addition to freshly baked cakes. Omelettes, scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, muesli, and breakfast sandwiches round out the menu, giving you lots of options for a tasty breakfast.
Enjoy Coffee
Cafe, Coffee Shop, European, Tea
It’s tough to choose between sitting in the chic interior or sipping your coffee and nibbling on your homemade cake al fresco at one of Enjoy Coffee’s streetside tables in the main pedestrian throughway of the Old Town. The cakes here are so tasty that you might need to order two just for yourself! But if you need something heartier, the eggs Benedict, ham and cheese croissant, or scrambled eggs with ham and onion are all great options. Enjoy Coffee is one of the only restaurants in town to also offer an all-day breakfast, with a masala omelette, muffins, and an English breakfast on the menu.
Fach
Bakery, Cafe, Restaurant, European, Healthy
Moods Bakery & Cafe
Bakery, Cafe, European
Au Café
Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Italian, Contemporary
The beautiful building that houses Au Café was originally constructed in 1827 as an upscale coffee shop. After almost 100 years in operation, the business slowly started to decline. In 2003, Au Café opened in this excellent location directly across the Danube River from the Old Town. Every Sunday, you can enjoy a rich buffet brunch from 11:30am to 3:00pm, served with a glass of prosecco.
Reštaurácia Hrad
Restaurant, European
A classy buffet brunch complete with live music can be enjoyed at the “Castle Restaurant” with fabulous views over the Old Town. The brunch is only offered on Sundays from 11:30am to 2:30pm, so make sure to plan accordingly. Enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables along with warm pastries and a selection of Slovak meats. If you plan to visit Bratislava on a Sunday, don’t miss brunch at the Reštaurácia Hrad.
