To eat and drink
Having seen the sights, absorbed the culture and had fun with your family, it is time for something good to eat. One thing is certain – you will never get tired of eating out in Košice. The standard of gastronomy has been on the rise in Košice and we are going to introduce you to the local stars, and much more. Food and wine festivals, markets on Dominikánske námestie square, the best menus, healthy food and local cuisine defi nitely belong among the city’s a ractions. Peter Škripko, a highly regarded gourmet and sommelier will tell you more about the culinary scene of Košice.
“After
years of fumbling and various more-or-less successful attempts at
enhancing the choice and standard of services in our city, today we
can say that gastronomy in Košice has begun to shape its own image
and has been heading in the right direction. Even if the steps are
still uncertain and awkward, as often happens when creating new
ideas and approaches, the Košice inhabitants cannot be rebuked for
one thing – the fact that the city has an increasing number of
attractive places where to drink a wellprepared espresso or
cappuccino with whipped-cream-like milk foam, where to have your
favourite cocktail mixed, eat lunch prepared by an inventive chef
from fi rst-rate, fresh and seasonal ingredients, or experience the
unrepeatable atmosphere of a gourmet dinner. An increasing number
of restaurants seem to understand that they have to fi ght for
their guests and so they compete in spoiling and pampering them.
This is good because life is too short to eat bad food or be
limited in discovering new tastes due to the dull imagination or
experience of the cook.
As many restaurant owners share the same view and care about the
positive image of their city, just as every other Košice native,
this gave the incentive for cooperation, quite unique in Slovakia,
with the common aim of turning Košice into a bastion of top-quality
gastronomy of European signifi cance. We all believe that in order
to fulfil this diffi cult objective, we have to join forces to make
the quality of our services yet another gem of Košice which will
make visitors want to return again.
I would therefore like to extend a heartfelt invitation to the
annual culmination of our efforts and the greatest celebration of
food under the open sky – Košice Gourman Fest. Together with
thousands of people from Košice, you can look forward not only to
new tastes, but also future exciting guests such as Jamie Oliver or
Gordon Ramsay… If June is too far away for you, don’t hesitate to
enter our restaurants, where you are welcome and awaited
all year round. Savour our food and let us know whether your
expectations were met. We can only do what we like best thanks to
you and your opinion.”
