The Worst Restaurant in Slovakia?

in #touristtrap4 years ago (edited)

A few days ago I posted this photo of the Slovenská Reštaurácia u Prasiatk in Brastislava and I wondered I it was empty. The outside looks very fancy and appealing. Very classy, even. So, why wasn't anyone there? 🤔

Well, I've found out that, not too long ago, this was confused with the Worst Reviewed Restaurant in Slovakia, according to Trip Advisor:

Prasiatko @ TripAdvisor - Rating 2/5

You can see the difference in the reviews... Food: 1.5 vs 3; Service: 2 vs 3;


These guys set out to eat the Worst Reviewed Restaurant in Slovakia, the Prasiatko, at Hviezdoslavovo namestie 225/26, Bratislava but they ended up eating at the U Prasiatka, at Rybarska brana 8, Bratislava.

The restaurant signs are quite similar and so is the name. I can see why they got confused. 😆

Oh, boy... this is hilarious. How can they do such a mistake, in their own city?

The video is very comical, these guys are really something. I have been laughing a lot with their reviews.

Nevertheless, the restaurant wasn't as good as it looked and the prices are inflated for the tourists. Even the waiter admitted it at the end, saying:

  • "You should have told us you were from Slovakia, we wouldn't charge the service fee. It's already expensive for Slovaks."

I never cared much about online reviews. When I'm traveling I simply pick a restaurant that looks nice and has a nice food smell coming from inside... I also check to see if it has a few customers and if they seem to be happy.

That has been working well so far. But from now on, I'll start paying attention to the reviews to see if there are some major red flags, before entering!

Stealing tourists deliberately like this? Unacceptable. 😤

If it were not for that detail, I have no doubts that they would have a much higher rating, more customers... and thus, could even raise their prices a bit. Most people don't mind paying a little extra for quality but they hate being ripped off. 🙄

Something I have learned in my life! When the restaurant is empty, means it is expensive :D I never enter it lol

Yep, I've also learned that. And that's why I stayed away, too! 😁

I recently experienced that in my own country (Hungary). But I was curious, so I ordered a Gyros. It was not only expensive, but actually worse than the ones I used to order. So an expensive restaurant is not always better than the cheaper ones.

Oh shame!!! What a damaging mix up! Makes me think of the whole Corona beer thing haha...

Really. I told the guy in YouTube he needs to go back and do a review of the other restaurant... I wonder if they'll do it.

Thanks for your visit. Here's a bit of !DERANGED !BEER 🍻

Would be great if he did... but the chances are probably slim!

I do not mind watching/reading reviews if I am traveling to places, although I think it is subjective.
Most of the time though, especially when travelling alone, I prefer supermarkets/wholefood so even if I find a place with a good review, I desist.


I have heard many stories of people being ripped off in Italy. >:Z
So I think it's common practice. Shameful!
THX for sharing.

Yes, many reviews are subjective but when most of them say it's a tourist trap, it probably is. 🤭
