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" ...

golgot1

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

Credit card from Slovak bank by marin_m

Hello, Can somebody please recommend a bank in Slovakia for issuing a credit card. Is there any special requirements when issuing a credit card for foreign (EU) citizens? Thank you!
