Grocery stores by jmoon
Hello - I am moving to Bratislava in February and would like to know if anyone has suggestions about where to get the best quality groceries, especially meat, produce and dairy. I don't know if Slovakia designates meat and dairy as "grass-fed" ...
I definitely agree with all. being French, I absolutely HATE doing my grocery shopping here as I don't find any quality food. In quality, I mean good taste. However, compared to the stuff in the US that is 100% artificial, this is heaven. Most of ... Read More
