Restaurant Woch

Restaurant Woch

The Restaurant Woch, which is named after a 13th century knight, the oldest known citizen and gourmet of Bratislava, is situated in the historical old city on the square Fratiškánske námestie 7. This is a luxurious restaurant known for its high standard of service, attractive ambience, and excellent dishes of Slovak and international cuisine.

The building that houses Woch has a 13th century medieval basement and upper floors from the baroque era. Its interior, which has an arched ceiling, keeps up the historic spirit of the place, and the chef has made it his task to revive traditional Bratislava cuisine.

The local fare is influenced by many countries of the former Austro-Hungarian empire, a characteristic example being schnitzel, which in Woch is made out of chicken. Dishes like the thick meat soup with vegetables called čorba show that food can travel from as far away as Bulgaria or Yugoslavia. The wine list is equally appealing, featuring well-known wine producers and small vineyards. There is an English menu and reservations are suggested on weekends.

I had a tasty dinner of mushroom soup (around 100SKK), and perfectly grilled fish (around 400SKK). For dessert I recommend apple strudel (85SKK) or the apple and vanilla pudding (135SKK). For two, with wine, the tab was $23.
The restaurant has live music in the basement. When we were there this was available three nights a week but in the peak season the music lounge operates almost every night. Thursday is jazz night, Friday features country, and Saturday is sixties - eighties classics. Punk and pop are also played on occasions.

The restaurant opens daily from 11am to 10pm. The music lounge was operating from Thursday to Saturday from 9pm until 3am.
